20110213971METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING RIGHTS MANAGEMENT AT FILE SYSTEM LEVEL - An approach is presented for providing rights management at file system level. A virtual file system rights management application receives a request to access a protected file. The rights management application binds the access request to the protected file in the file system, determines credentials associated with the request for accessing the protected file according to the binding and causes, at least in part, verification of the credentials according to a rights management system associated with the protected file. Based, at least in part, on the determination, the rights management application causes decryption of the protected content.09-01-2011

20080294442APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method includes obtaining digital content comprising text content; obtaining at least one speech parameter associated with the digital content; and using the speech parameters as an input, generating a speech output corresponding to at least part of the text content. Corresponding apparatuses, system and computer program products are also presented.11-27-2008
20080295035Projection of visual elements and graphical elements in a 3D UI - A method includes determining user interface data based at least on a projection of visual element information from a projector at a first location in a three-dimensional space onto a screen object defined in the space. The screen object forms at least a portion of a user interface. The method includes determining an area of the screen object viewable by a camera positioned in a second location in the three dimensional space, and communicating the user interface data corresponding to the area to a display interface suitable for coupling to one or more displays. Apparatus and computer-readable media are also disclosed.11-27-2008
20100277335Presentation of Visual Information - A method includes capturing at a first device electrical energy of electromagnetic waves transmitted by a second device. The method further includes using the captured electrical energy for causing a modification of a visual appearance of a display component. In addition to the wireless power, the visual appearance may depend on a data transmission.11-04-2010

20090164207User device having sequential multimodal output user interace - In one aspect of the exemplary embodiments of this invention an apparatus includes a user interface that contains a plurality of input modalities and a plurality of output modalities, and a data processor coupled with the user interface and configurable to present a user with a content item that includes a plurality of attributes. In response to user input that data processor is operable to partition at least some of the attributes into a plurality of presentation tokens, where an individual presentation token comprises at least one attribute. The data processor is further configurable to respond to further user input to define one of the plurality of input modalities to generate a trigger condition for individual ones of the presentation tokens, where generation of a trigger condition results in an associated presentation token being made manifest to the user. The plurality of input modalities may include two or more of physical or virtual keys, an input acoustic transducer, a speech recognition unit, and a gesture detection unit, and where the plurality of output modalities may include two or more of an output acoustic transducer, a speech synthesis unit, a vibro-tactile transducer, and a display screen.06-25-2009
20100146388METHOD FOR DEFINING CONTENT DOWNLOAD PARAMETERS WITH SIMPLE GESTURE - A system and method of defining download parameters for downloading a desired content item is provided. A user presented with content on a display for downloading selects a desired content item to be downloaded by pointing to a visual thumbnail icon or representation of the desired content item. A download parameter interface is presented (e.g., overlaid on the icon) on the display. The user is then able to adjust one or more download parameters associated with the desired content item. Upon achieving the desired values for the one or more download parameters, the desired content item is processed in accordance with the desired values, and is then presented to the user.06-10-2010
