Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system which allow high quality digital images to be captured even under poor irradiation conditions. SOLUTION: The system and method for capturing digital images make a target irradiate with a light for carrying out improved image capture under poor irradiation conditions. The various characteristics of flash (for example, brightness, color, duration and the like) can be adjusted to improve image capture. Users are provided with feedback (for example, live video image, audio and/or visual countdown or the like) to assist them in preparing for image capture. The captured images are seamlessly integrated with existing applications (for example, video conference, instant text message or the like). COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more transparent and intuitive user interface for a portable device that enable a user to configure the user interface. SOLUTION: This portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (e.g., graphical objects) in a region in a touch-sensitive display; detects a predefined user action with respect to the touch-sensitive display for initiating a predefined user interface reconfiguration process; and varies positions of one or more icons in the plurality of icons in response to detecting the predefined user action. The varying includes varying the positions of the one or more icons about respective average positions. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods to operate a display device of an electronic device. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a user setting or input of a display control parameter, and causing or altering, based on the user setting or input, an effect of an ambient light sensor value (ALS) on control of the display control parameter. The user input may be an unlock of a touch screen input capability of the display device, and a wake of the display device from an inactivity dim. Also, according to embodiments of the inventions, a method of operating a display of an electronic device includes receiving a change to one of a display brightness output level and an ambient light sensor output level, and altering, according to the change, a display brightness or contrast output level. Other apparatuses and methods and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.
Abstract:
Techniques, computer programs and apparatus relating to an integrated calendar and map feature are described. In one implementation, one or more calendar entries are identified in a calendar. A calendar entry includes an associated time and an associated location. A display of a map is provided including a graphical representation indicating a location associated with at least one calendar entry. The location associated with the calendar entry is derived from the calendar entry and included in a request to a map application for the map.
Abstract:
A computer- implemented method for displaying and managing lists on a portable multifunction device (100) with a touch screen display (112) includes displaying (602) a list of items, detecting (608) a finger contact (2724) on a moving-af fordance icon (2722), detecting (610) movement of the finger contact on the touch screen display, and in response to detecting the movement of the finger contact, moving (612) the moving-affordance icon and the corresponding item in the list in accordance with the movement of the finger contact. In some embodiments, at least some of the items have corresponding moving-af fordance icons (2722).
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, for use in conjunction with a portable electronic device with a touch screen display, comprises displaying at least a portion of a structured electronic document on the touch screen display, wherein the structured electronic document comprises a plurality of boxes of content, and detecting a first gesture at a location on the displayed portion of the structured electronic document. A first box in the plurality of boxes at the location of the first gesture is determined. The first box on the touch screen display is enlarged and substantially centered.
Abstract:
A device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch sensitive display. The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device. The device displays one or more unlock images with respect to which the predefined gesture is to be performed in order to unlock the device. The performance of the predefined gesture with respect to the unlock image may include moving the unlock image to a predefined location and/or moving the unlock image along a predefined path. The device may also display visual cues of the predefined gesture on the touch screen to remind a user of the gesture.
