Abstract:
A method of enabling a search using an electronic device, the method comprising, detecting actuation of a user input dedicated to provide access to a graphical user interface, and presenting, in response to the actuation of the dedicated user input, the graphical user interface for enabling a user to input a search parameter where the search parameter may be any one of a plurality of different types of media.
Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for incorporating sensor functionality (100) into mobile communication devices (102) having a host process (204) and employing at least one memory (200, 202), such as a removable memory card (202). Access to the removable memory card (202) by the host process (204) is facilitated using a digital interface (128, 206), and storing sensor data from one or more sensor modules (104) into a local memory (106, 202). The host process (204) of the mobile communication device (102) is coupled to the local memory (106, 202) via the digital interface (128, 206) which is used by the host process (204) to access the removable memory card (202). The sensor data may then be accessed from the local memory (106, 202) by the host process (204) via the digital interface (128, 206).

Abstract:
A low-cost breakable inertial threshold sensor using mainly micro-machining silicon technology constructed on a silicon-wafer or on some other brittle material according to the MEMS process. The sensor comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, and detecting means for giving an indication if the second body portion has damaged the detecting means. The status of the sensor can be read in various ways. In one embodiment the status is remotely readable.
Abstract:
A control system is provided based on the use of gestures and functioning especially in mobile terminals. The gesture control system is provided with a general purpose interface with its commands for applications to be controlled. The processing software of the gesture signals includes a training program trained free-form gestures made by the user being stored in the gesture library, and a recognizing program, which matches a gesture made by the user to the stored gestures and chooses the most similar gesture thereof. Gestures can hence be used as commands for controlling any application configured or programmed to receive the command. One and the same application functions in different models of mobile terminals without matching, and in a certain mobile terminal all applications can be run, which applications use specified interface commands. The application can be e.g. a game or activity being included in basic implementation of a mobile terminal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a micromechanical structures that include movable elements. In particular the invention relates to an arrangement for coupling such movable elements to other structures of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS). The invention is characterized in that the arrangement comprises at least one coupling means (930-936) for coupling the movable element to the fixed structure, and at least one flexible means (980, 990-996) for allowing different thermal expansion between the movable element and the other structure in the direction which is substantially perpendicular to the characteristic movement of the movable element, wherein said coupling means and/or flexible means is reinforced in the direction of the characteristic movement of the movable element.
