| 20100332613 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTENT AND CONTEXT ANALYSIS OF REMOTE DEVICE CONTENT - An apparatus for providing content and context analysis of remote device content may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving an indication of a request to copy content to a remote device, determining a classification of the content, determining a context of the remote device, and enabling selective copying of the content to the remote device based on the classification of the content and the context. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100332654 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE DEVICE INTEROPERABILITY - An apparatus for providing mobile device interoperability with other devices may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving a frame buffer update request from a remote environment, determining a scan interval defining a first portion of the frame buffer over which scanning to determine data changes is to occur and a second portion over which scanning to determine data changes is not to occur, identifying whether a data change occurs in the first portion of the frame buffer by comparing relatively newer data to relatively older data, and updating a selected portion of the frame buffer to the remote environment based on the identifying. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110157001 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAY FRAMEBUFFER PROCESSING - Various methods for display framebuffer processing are provided. One example method include determining, via a processor, that update criteria associated with a display region has been satisfied, and comparing current frame data for the display region to subsequent frame data for the display region to determine frame data changes associated with the display region. In this regard, the comparing is performed in response to the update criteria being satisfied. The example method may also include facilitating presentation of the frame data changes within the display region on a display. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110214162 | METHOD AND APPARTUS FOR PROVIDING COOPERATIVE ENABLEMENT OF USER INPUT OPTIONS - An apparatus for providing cooperative enablement or disablement of user input options may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least receiving a first indication identifying any user input option to be enabled or disabled based on context information associated with a local device, receiving a second indication of any user input option to be enabled or disabled based on context information associated with a remote device, and providing enablement or disablement of user input options of the local device based on the first indication and the second indication. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110242122 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AN ACTIVE INPUT AREA - Various methods for determining an active input area are provided. One example method includes acquiring frame buffer data defining an image area that has been refreshed and detecting a cursor within the frame buffer data. Detecting the cursor may include determining that dimensions of the image area match dimensions of a previously acquired image area associated with a successful cursor detection, and the example method may further include directing transmission of coordinates and dimensions of the image area to a remote environment. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110270600 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN DEVICES - An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for enabling interoperability between devices, such as a mobile terminal and some other remote device or remote environment. The apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to maintain a terminal session between a server device and a client device in which the client device emulates at least a portion of a display presented at the server device; receive an indication of a user input received at the client device identifying a function to be performed at the server device; determine a corresponding input to elicit the identified function; and cause the identified function to be performed at the server device. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110271195 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING CONTENT COMPONENTS TO DIFFERENT HARDWARD INTERFACES - A method and apparatus are described that facilitate mobile device interoperability with a remote environment. A method may be provided that may determine, for each of a plurality of content components of a user interface, a respective hardware interface via which to transmit the content component. The method may also generate meta-information associated with at least one of the content components to facilitate recomposition of the content component and may cause the plurality of content components and the meta-information to be transmitted via the respective hardware interfaces with at least two of the content components being transmitted via different hardware interfaces. A method may also be provided that receives a plurality of streams of content components and meta-information via different respective hardware interfaces, recomposes the content components in accordance with the meta-information to form a unified user interface and causes a display to be presented of the unified user interface. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110271198 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING COOPERATIVE USER INTERFACE LAYER MANAGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO INTER-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS - An apparatus for providing cooperative user interface layer management may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least maintaining a terminal session between a server device and a client device in which the client device emulates at least a portion of a display presented at the server device, receiving, at the server device, an indication identifying a user interface layer for which display of information related to the user interface layer is not supported at the client device, and determining a response to a user input provided at the client device based on whether the user input relates to the user interface layer identified by the indication. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided. | 11-03-2011 |
