Abstract: An apparatus and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a display unit configured to display content to a user. The display unit includes a display surface, and the content is associated with at least a portion of a first page of an electronic document. A detection unit is configured to detect a first type of user activation associated with a first-type activation position on the display surface. A control unit is configured to determine whether the first-type activation position falls within a predetermined portion of the display screen, which is visually imperceptible to the user. The control unit is further configured to identify a first successive page of the electronic document based on at least the type of user activation, when the activation falls within the pre-determined portion.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provide logic for controlling a controllable device by distinguishing between an intended motion of a user and an unintended motion of the user. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided to control a controllable device by distinguishing between a control movement and a non-control movement. The method receives spatial positions of a joint of a human appendage and a reference point disposed along the appendage and distal to the joint. The method determines whether a movement of the reference point about the joint is a control movement or a non-control movement, based on a comparison of direction of movement of the reference point and a direction of displacement between the reference point and the upper joint. A control instruction is executed when the movement is a control movement.
