Abstract: A camera, method and computer program for communicating between a primary camera device and other camera devices comprising: detecting orientation and position of the primary camera device and range of a primary subject in focus on the primary camera device; locating other networkable camera devices for communication; receiving subject data for a real time image of a subject from one or more of the located networkable camera devices; and determining from subject data which networkable camera devices are shooting the primary subject whereby the primary camera can utilize the subject data and image data from both its own detectors and determined network cameras to take a picture of the subject.

Abstract: A method of controlling the display of a multiple-column document comprises displaying the columns in a viewport; receiving user input defining downwards scrolling for the document; determining the lowest numbered column that does not have its lowest point displayed in the viewport; and scrolling only this column, whilst all other columns remain stationary. The scrollbar may be sized to reflect the total height of the multiple columns in the document. When receiving input defining upwards scrolling for the document, the highest numbered column that doesn’t have its highest point displayed is determined, and only this column is scrolled. User inputs defining downward scrolling when all columns have their lowest point displayed result in the entire document scrolling upwards; user inputs defining upwards scrolling for the document when all columns have their highest point displayed result in the entire document scrolling downwards. The invention is intended to make multiple-column documents more easily readable, by avoiding the need to scroll to the top of the page to begin reading the next column upon finishing reading a first column.

Abstract: A publish subscribe broker according to the present invention comprises a broker receiving a message and two or more orthogonal message topics. In particular, the message is a publish message which indicates a publish to an intersection of the two or more topic branches on two or more separate topic trees. A subscription engine identifies all subscribers whose subscription topics match the two or more associated message topics. A message transmitter sends the message only to identified subscribers and not to subscribers having just one of the associated topics. The embodiments allow messages to be published to multiple orthogonal topics, and to allow subscribers in turn to subscribe to the intersection of these trees.

Abstract: A system for determining and verifying a passcode is disclosed in which a passcode is defined by a set of rules each representing the position of a target key relative to a reference key on a given keyboard. The reference key may be a start key with each subsequent rule utilizing the previous target key as the current reference key where the start key may be either user selected or predetermined viable start keys from which the password can be input. The rules may be selected in response to user-input characters. The subset of rules may be applied to an identified keyboard layout to generate a second set of characters, which are then compared to the first set of characters to determine whether to allow access to the resource. The determination may be done by comparing relative positions of each input keystroke against the passcode subset of rules.

Abstract: A method of providing Caller ID information in a telephone call, the method comprising: encrypting 104 Caller Identification information; initiating 108 the telephone call, said initiating comprising: providing 108a a voice carrier signal including the caller ID information; and simultaneously providing 108b a data carrier signal including the encrypted caller ID information. Aspects of the invention include the receiving device receiving (204) the telephone call; decrypting (206) the encrypted caller identification information at the recipient device; and verifying the identity of at least an unknown caller at the recipient device by at least one of verifying the authenticity of a certificate used to encrypt the caller identification information; and comparing (208) the decrypted caller identification information with the caller identification information from the voice carrier signal. A telephony device (500) implementing such an authentication method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for communicating between a first audio video device and other audio video devices, where the plurality of audio video devices can record both sound and video, where orientation and position of the first audio video device and a distance between the first audio video device and a primary subject are detected. Other networkable audio video devices are located 502 for communication and subject data for a real time video of a subject is received 506 from one or more of the located networkable audio video devices. Using the subject data it is determined 508 which networkable audio video devices are targeting the primary subject. One or more primary subject audio video devices are determined for use in recording audio for a video; and the determined primary subject audio video devices are synchronised 514 for recording sound when one or more of the audio video devices are recording video of the primary subject. The system may allow video to be synchronised with sound recorded by a device which is closer to a subject then the camera recording the video.

Abstract: Documentation for a product often contains screenshots that give users visual feedback on how to carry out a process. Problems arise when the author of the documentation does not fully understand the workings of the product, or the documentation and screenshot get out of date. A method, system and computer program are provided for synchronising screenshots in documentation with product functionality. The method includes providing a documentation source 510 relating to a product including placeholders 511 where screenshots of user interface views of the product are to be located, wherein a placeholder includes a description or pointer to a description of how to generate the user interface view of the product required for the screenshot. The method also includes generating a new version of the documentation where the documentation source including placeholders is received and a placeholder is used to generate a user interface view 502. The user interface view is captured as a screenshot and the screenshot 512 is inserted in the new version of the documentation at the location of the placeholder used to generate the screenshot.
