Publication number: 20140092043Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and a touch input disposed over the display. The touch input receives touch inputs from a user and detects location of the user's hand relative to the display including location of the user's hand in front of and not touching the touch input. A controller controls the display of content, including determining an obstructed area of the display that is obstructed from viewing by the user's hand as indicated by the detection made by the touch input; determining that a default location for the display of a new graphical user interface (GUI) element that should be added to the display overlaps with the obstructed area by at least a predetermined amount, and changing a manner in which the new GUI element is displayed so that the new GUI element is not obstructed by the user's hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: Sony Mobile Communications ABInventors: David de Leon, Fredrik Johansson

Publication number: 20130094666Abstract: A rendering device is configured to dynamically vary how audio and visual information is rendered by a rendering device responsive to changes in distance between the rendering device and a mobile device carried by a user. As the user moves about, the distance between the rendering device and the mobile device carried by the user will vary. As the distance between the mobile device and the rendering device changes, the rendering system can dynamically adapt how the audio and visual information is rendered. For example, the rendering device can increase or decrease the volume of an audio output, depending on changes in the distance. Also, the rendering device can change how visual information is rendered on a display responsive to changes in distance. In some embodiments, when the distance between the mobile device and rendering device exceeds a predetermined distance, the audio and/or visual information may be sent to the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications ABInventors: Olle Håff, Fredrik Johansson

Patent number: 7024188Abstract: The invention discloses a method for use in a wireless communications system with a plurality of broadcasting nodes, comprising the step of enabling one node in the system to function as a central node in said system and letting said node enable measurements on at least one frequency in a frequency band used by the system. Said measurements are carried out to detect if said at least one frequency is being utilized by a transmitter foreign to the system. Preferably, the measurement is enabled by means of the node transmitting a message to other nodes in the system, said message being a message pre-defined within the system as a message prohibiting all nodes from transmitting during a certain interval, said message being transmitted after the system has been detected by the node to be silent during a predefined interval between frame transmissions from the nodes in the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2002Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jamshid Khun-Jush, Peter Schramm, Jan Lindskog, Stefan Rommer, Mathias Pauli, Gerd Zimmermann, Fredrik Johansson, Anders Ranheim, Peter Larsson

Publication number: 20050027579Abstract: A fleet engine, a crew engine, a passenger engine and an integration engine that communicate with a distributed computer network via two-way communication channels to monitor and repair disruptions to schedules particularly in the airline industry. When a disruption occurs, the method will produce a plurality of solutions that are structurally different for evaluation by the controller or operations manager. The method of generating solutions includes two phases. A first phase with artificially relaxed costs and a second phase with costs that reflect the policies and actual costs of the relevant activities. Upon creating structurally different solutions, the method evaluates the solutions and presents summary information about the solutions to the operations manager. If a violation of a rule occurs in a solution, an alert is generated to notify a user of the rule violation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2003Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Serguei Tiourine, Andreas Garsell, Darren Hang, Fredrik Johansson, Tapani Utriainen
