Abstract: Email message filtering at an email client includes: activating a hide rule to intercept incoming email messages in an email thread of multiple recipients; for each new email message in the email thread, carrying out text analysis to determine if the email message content includes a name or variation of a name; if the email message does include the name or variation of the name in the email message content, forwarding the email message to an inbox; and if the email message does not include the name or variation of the name in the email message content, forwarding the email message to a designated folder. For each new email message in the email conversation thread, the filter can check if the email client user recipient has moved from a cc field or bcc field to a to field in the new email message; and if so forward the email message to an inbox.

Abstract: Pairing one or more personal devices to a host device where personal devices are detected in wireless proximity of the host device via NFC, Bluetooth, RFID etc. A unique input instruction for each personal device in range is allocated and stored, wherein the unique input instruction is convertible to an augmented reality display input at a personal device such as a mobile phone, tablet or wearable devices such as headsets. When a user views the input interface of the host device through their personal device it provides via augmented reality an overlay of the unique input instruction on the host input interface. This unique input is then received from a user of the personal device at an input interface of the host device and activates an exclusive pairing between the host device and the personal device for which the unique input has been received.

Abstract: A display control system for an augmented reality, AR, display system, the AR display system comprising a transparent display area 120 adapted to augment an object 170 or scene viewable through the transparent display by displaying a visual element 210 in the transparent display. The display control system comprises: a focal point detection unit adapted to determine point of focus (P, figure 2) of user 160; and a processing unit adapted to determine offset distance d by which the determined point of focus is spaced from the transparent display area, and to generate a control signal for modifying the transparency of the visual element based on the determined offset distance. The opacity of the visual element may be decreased in proportion with the offset distance. The point of focus may be determined by tracking the users eyes.

Abstract: System and method that overlays an output (eg. text, images or video on a coloured background) on a background (eg. screen, billboard) (14, Fig. 1) comprising: determining a desired colour 22 for the output; analysing the actual colour 20 of the background; calculating what output colour 28 will give the desired colour when superimposed on the background colour. The system includes a display such as a head-mounted display (HMD) (16, Fig. 1) and a camera (18, Fig. 1) that detects the background. The computed output colour may vary at a per pixel or per pixel block level according to background colour variations. A mathematical formula may be used to generate red, green and blue values for the adjusted foreground overlay colour based on background RGB values. The augmented reality display may be see-through, semi-transparent or translucent and a display transparency value 26 may be used in the correction of the foreground colour.
