Abstract:
Un aparato (10; 20), que comprende: medios (12, 14, 16) para almacenar una estructura de datos (19) que asocia un primer elemento gráfico (50; 62) con uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales (52, 54, 56; 91- 96); medios (12, 14, 16) para controlar una pantalla (22, 23) para mostrar el primer elemento gráfico, siendo el primer elemento gráfico un elemento de menú seleccionable por el usuario; medios (12, 14, 16) para responder a un usuario que selecciona el primer elemento gráfico controlando la pantalla para visualizar uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales, siendo uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales elementos de menú seleccionables por el usuario; y medios (12, 14, 16) para responder a un usuario que proporciona al menos una entrada de inclinación que cambia la inclinación del aparato controlando la pantalla para mostrar una vista previa (82; 84; 86) de uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales, asociados con el primer elemento gráfico, en donde la selección del usuario de uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales en la vista previa provoca que se proporcione una respuesta diferente que si un usuario selecciona el mismo elemento gráfico después de seleccionar el primer elemento gráfico, o si uno o más elementos gráficos adicionales en la vista previa no son seleccionables.
Abstract:
An apparatus, a method and a computer program is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, the at least one processor being configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the apparatus at least to perform: processing an input pattern, detected at an instance in time by a touch sensitive display, to discriminate between a fingertip input pattern and an elongate input pattern; performing a first action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the fingertip input pattern; and performing a second action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the elongate input pattern, wherein the second action is different to the first action.
Abstract:
An apparatus uses a transducer to produce vibration in the ultrasonic frequency range and in the audible frequency range. A membrane or cantilever structure is coupled to the transducer to produce acoustic waves. When the vibration is in the audible frequency range, the membrane structure works like a conventional loudspeaker. When the vibration is in the ultrasonic frequency range, the ultrasonic signal is modulated by audio signal for creating better directivity. The acoustic waves in the ultrasonic frequency range can reproduce directional audible sound due to the nonlinear interaction of ultrasonic waves in air.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for performing multiple and hybrid forms of communication in the same communication session. A communication manager receives a to establish a communication session using a first form of communication, wherein the communication session supports multiple and simultaneous forms of communication. Next, the communication manager selects a second form of communication to conduct the communication session. Then, the communication manager transcodes the second form of communication to the first form of communication. The different forms can be converted to facilitate and enrich the communication capability, according to an embodiment of the invention.
Abstract:
A near-eye display related apparatus and device is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing configured to receive an optical engine, and a light guiding plate attached to the housing and configured to receive light representing an image from the optical engine, the light guiding plate includes a first diffractive grating adapted to incouple the light into the light guiding plate, and a second diffractive grating adapted to outcouple the light from the light guiding plate such that the light is received by an eye of a user wearing the apparatus. The light guiding plate has a contact surface portion configured to optically couple the light guiding plate to a transparent plate, The contact surface portion being adapted to be in physical contact with the transparent plate.
