Abstract: A method for generating a profile for a user based on the user's behaviour and altering a setup of at least one computer program based on the generated user profile. The generic user profile for a user may be updated to include information from a similar user (e.g., a user having similar preferences). Using information from similar users allows for a generic user profile to be generated using information extracted from applications (e.g., both social media and games) and/or based on the behaviour of connections (e.g., social media contact, etc.). The generated generic user profile may be used to change the set-up for applications (e.g., executed/stored on the user's mobile device).

Abstract: A prioritized list of items available via an electronic user device is provided to a user. The user has relations categorized in a social graph for which activity is crawled to detect interactive behavior with objects made by the relations via respective electronic devices. The prioritizing includes identifying items for the list; determining a relative level of the user's contextual affinity with one or more of the list items, contextual affinity to a list item characterized by connectedness of a context of the user's current use of the electronic user device to a manner in which a relation has had interactive behavior with one of the objects that corresponds to the list item; and ranking the list items according to the relative levels of affinity.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying of a holographic image of an object in a predefined area. A positioning unit is configured for detecting positions of at least one viewer within the predefined area, a sensor is configured for detecting the environmental conditions within the predefined area, a processor is configured for collecting data including detected positions of viewers and detected environmental condition and calculating a location for displaying holographic image based on the collected data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a representation of orientation and movement of an item being moved in space by a user of the item. The user is wearing a wearable electronic device being physically separate from the item. The item comprises an item memory storing item defining data and a device communication unit. The wearable electronic device comprises an item communication unit, adapted to receive data from the device communication unit, and an orientation and movement detector. The method comprises retrieving, at the wearable electronic device, item defining data from the item; registering, at the wearable electronic device, orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device during user movement of the item; and computing, at a first processor, the representation of orientation and movement of the item based on the item defining data and the registered orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device.
