20090262085 | SMART GLASS TOUCH DISPLAY INPUT DEVICE - An improved touch display input device for incorporation into a portable electronic device is described. In exemplary embodiments, the touch display includes a smart glass layer that selectively blocks and transmits light from a light source to a transparent touch input surface. As a result of the selectivity of the smart glass, a particular set of characters and/or symbols may become visible to the user through the transparent touch surface. The user may select a visible character or symbol by touching the character or symbol on the touch display. The selective blocking and transmission of light by the smart glass may be altered to display different sets of input characters and/or symbols depending upon the operational state of the portable electronic device. | 10-22-2009 |
20100082526 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WEBSITE POPULARITY BY LOCATION - Internet websites that are popular for users in a specific location are determined and displayed to a user of an electronic device. The popularity information may be of benefit to users in the location or to users of inherently portable devices, such as a mobile telephone or a laptop computer, that travel to the location. In one embodiment, position data relating to devices used to access websites is used to establish statistics regarding the most visited websites based on location. For instance, positioning data may be added to “webpage look-up/URL requests” that are made by the devices. This data may be transmitted to a server for deriving of the statistics. | 04-01-2010 |
20100222107 | MOBILE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINALS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A SLIDESHOW - A mobile wireless communication terminal includes a wireless communication module and a controller. The wireless communication module is configured to communicate with other communication terminals over at least one direct point-to-point wireless interface. The controller is configured to establish a connection with each of a plurality of participant wireless communication terminals via the wireless communication module, to receive an image send command from a user, and to send a digital image file over the at least one direct point-to-point wireless interface to each of the plurality of participant wireless communication terminals as a group responsive to the image send command. | 09-02-2010 |
