Abstract:
An electronic device which can include an input portion, a processing portion and a display portion. The processing portion can be coupled to the input portion. The display portion can be coupled to the processing portion. Input signals can be communicated from the input portion. The processing portion can be coupled to the input portion such that input signals are receivable therefrom and processed in a manner so as to produce output signals. The display portion can be coupled to the processing portion such that output signals are receivable therefrom and displayable at the display portion as display data. The input signals can correspond to at least one of graphic data, control data and audio data. The output signals can correspond to at least one of indicator data and character data. The display data can correspond to at least one of character data and indicator data.
Abstract:
A portable device comprising a body (12), at least one wall (24) of the body being of a translucent material and having an outer surface, an inner surface (64) and an outer surface (68) and an outer peripheral edge surface. The outer surface (68) is coated with a first non-translucent material (70), there being a plurality of outer openings (23) in the first non-translucent material to form a plurality of control indications (52). The inner surface (64) is coated with a second non-translucent material (76), there being at least one inner opening in the second non-translucent material for at least one light source (66). The first non-translucent coating and the second non-translucent coating cause internal reflection within the at least one wall except for the outer openings and the outer peripheral edge (74) through which light from the at least one light source is able to pass.
Abstract:
A device and method for scanning an object on a working surface, the device comprising: a body located adjacent to the working surface; two or more cameras mounted on the body at a location elevated adjacently above the working surface for capturing images of the object on the working surface, the two or more cameras being angled such that their range of image captures overlap and the common overlapping region of the range of image captures of the two or more cameras corresponds with the size of the working surface, the two or more cameras being spaced apart such that each of the two or more cameras captures a different angle of the common overlapping region; and a processing unit capable of correcting skewed images of the working surface captured by the two or more cameras and capable of converting the images captured by the two or more cameras into a three dimensional image.

Abstract:
A METHOD FOR MANAGING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRONIC BOOKS ON A COMPUTING DEVICE5There is provided a method for managing a plurality of electronic books on a computing device. The electronic books may be stored in a plurality of storage sources, the plurality of storage sources being selected from, for example, local storage on the computing device, network-linked storage, network-linked10 electronic book retailers, and so forth.Figure 1
Abstract:
There are provided methods and a system for visually representing a rate of writing a plurality of identical Chinese characters for at least one user on a first portion of a display, with the visual representation having both a discrete movement component and a rate of activity component.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for fanning pages of an electronic book on a touch panel display of an electronic apparatus for consuming electronic books. The method replicates a user experience similar to fanning pages of a physical book.
