Abstract:
A method, computer program and device for creating a viewing protocol for medical images is described. At least a first site of interest is identified in a medical imaging data set captured from the patient. Patient record data or computer assisted detection information can be used to identify the site of interest, which may be a potential lesion. A viewing protocol for displaying medical images to a user is planned. The viewing protocol includes a viewing path along which an image of the site of interest will be displayed. The viewing protocol also includes a trigger associated with the site of interest. When the trigger event is encountered the dynamic mode of image display is reconfigured to dynamically highlight the site of interest. The viewing protocol can then be used to control the display of images so as to provide, for example, a virtual endoscope.

Abstract:
The invention describes a method of controlling a position (x′, y′) of a control point (c) on a command area (ACM). This method comprises the steps of: —aiming a pointing device (1) comprising a camera (2) in the direction of the command area (ACM); —generating an image (I) of a target area (AI) aimed at by the pointing device; —processing the target area image (I) to determine a target point (T) at which the pointing device (1) is aimed; —determining position (x′, y′) of the control point (C) according to the position (x, y) of the target point (T) within a currently defined control area (ACT), which control area (Acr) includes at least partially the command area (ACM). Moreover the invention describes an adequate system and a pointing device (1) for controlling a control point position (P) on a command area (ACM).
Abstract:
The invention describes a method for control of a device (D1, D2, D3), which method comprises the process steps of aiming a pointing device (1) comprising a camera (2) at an object associated with the device (D1, D2, D3) to be controlled to choose an option and generating an image (3) of a target area (A) aimed at by the pointing device (1). The target area image (3) is interpreted to determine the chosen option, and a corresponding control signal (17) is generated for controlling the device (D1, D2, D3) to be controlled. Device descriptive information (ID1, ID2, ID3) associated with the device (D1, D2, D3) to be controlled is thereby detected before or during this process, and the process steps are carried out according to the device descriptive information (ID1, ID2, ID3). The invention also describes a system (15) suitable for applying this method as well as a pointing device (1) and a device control interface (8, 8′) for such a system (15).

Abstract:
A method of processing media content, the method comprising the steps of (210) obtaining a plurality of segments of the media content, each segment being associated with a predetermined emotion of a particular user; and (230) combining the segments so as to generate a content item (300, 410) for presentation to the particular user. In a step (250) of the method, a response (390, 440) of the particular user to the generated content item (300, 410) is obtained when the generated content item is being presented. The method also comprises a step (290) of generating a new content item (350, 450) based on the content item (300, 410), using the user response (390, 440). In a further step (220, 280) of the method, a content correlation between the segments is determined, wherein the determined correlation is used for combining the segments.
