20130271351 | MULTI-SEGMENT WEARABLE ACCESSORY - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In the context of a method, an orientation of each of a plurality of segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory is determined relative to an axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory, such as by determining an angle of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory. A relative ordering of the plurality of segments of the multi-segment wearable accessory may then be determined based upon the orientation of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis. | 10-17-2013 |
20130271355 | MULTI-SEGMENT WEARABLE ACCESSORY - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In particular, a method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided that determine an angle between at least two segments of the wearable accessory and cause one or more of the segments to operate in a manner that is at least partially dependent upon the angle between the at least two segments. In some cases, a determination may be made as to whether the wearable accessory is in a worn state or in an unworn state. For example, in the worn state, the segments may have separate functionality, whereas in the unworn state the segments may act as a single display or present an idle screen. | 10-17-2013 |
20130300634 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING REPRESENTATIONS OF DISPLAYED INFORMATION BASED ON FOCUS DISTANCE - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate determining representations of displayed information based on focus distance. In the context of a method, a focus distance of a user is determined. The method may also determine a representation of the data based on the focus distance. The method may also cause a presentation of the representation on a display. | 11-14-2013 |
20130300635 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING FOCUS CORRECTION OF DISPLAYED INFORMATION - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate performing focus correction of displayed information. In the context of a method, a focus distance of a user is determined. The method may also determine determining at least one focal point setting for one or more dynamic focus optical components of a display based on the focus distance. The method may also cause a configuring of the one or more dynamic focus optical components based on the at least one focal point setting to present a representation of data on the display. | 11-14-2013 |
20130300759 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING THE PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION BASED ON THE ATTENTIVENESS LEVEL OF A USER - Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for modifying the presentation of information based on the attentiveness level of a user. A method may include determining a first attentiveness level of a user. The method may further include causing presentation of information on a display. The method may further include determining a second attentiveness level of the user following determination of the first attentiveness level of the user and while the information is being presented on the display. The method may further include causing, based on a relationship between the first attentiveness level and the second attentiveness level, modification of presentation of at least a portion of the information on the display. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided. | 11-14-2013 |
20140085177 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESPONDING TO INPUT BASED UPON RELATIVE FINGER POSITION - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate user input based upon the relative position of their fingers. In the context of a method, sensor information is received that is indicative of the position of a first finger relative to a second finger. The first finger may be a thumb such that the sensor information is indicative of the position of the thumb relative to the second finger. In conjunction with the receipt of sensor information, the method receives sensor information from a sensor that is offset from an interface between the first and second fingers so as not to be positioned between the first and second fingers. The method also determines, with a processor, the relative position of the first and second fingers based upon the sensor information and causes performance of an operation in response to the relative position of the first and second fingers. | 03-27-2014 |
20140176395 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SHARING CONTENT - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate sharing of content between various computing devices. In the context of a method, an image of a first external apparatus is received that includes information presented upon a display of the first external apparatus. The method also includes causing an identification request that includes a representation of the image of the first external apparatus including a representation of the information presented upon the display of the first external apparatus to be provided to a plurality of external apparatuses. The method also receives a response to the identification request from the first external apparatus indicating that the first external apparatus has presented the information upon the display of the first external apparatus. | 06-26-2014 |
20140176419 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SHARING CONTENT - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate sharing of content between various computing devices. In the context of a method, an image of an external apparatus is received that includes information presented upon a display of the external apparatus. The method may also cause a content request to be provided that requests content upon which the information presented upon the display of the external apparatus is based. In response to the request, the method may receive the content upon which the information presented upon the display of the external apparatus is based. | 06-26-2014 |
