Abstract: A controlling device for controlling lighting parameters is connected to a number of lamps and includes a controlling member which is placed on a contact surface by a user. Lighting parameters of each lamp are determined based on the position of the controlling member on the contact surface. This enables the user to control the lighting parameters simply by controlling the position of the controlling member.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for determining the topic of a conversation and obtaining and presenting related content. The disclosed system provides a “creative inspirator” in an ongoing conversation. The system extracts keywords from the conversation and utilizes the keywords to determine the topic(s) being discussed. The disclosed system then conducts searches to obtain supplemental content based on the topic(s) of the conversation. The content can be presented to the participants in the conversation to supplement their discussion. A method is also disclosed for determining the topic of a text document including transcripts of audio tracks, newspaper articles, and journal papers.

Abstract: A device for browsing an image collection shows a continuously scrolling sequence of representations of images and commands in browsing area. A user can select a representation, which results in the full image being shown in a display area, or in the command being executed. Speed and direction of the scrolling can be varied with an input stroke in the browsing area. The representations could be shown together with border areas, which when selected limit the sequence to the representations belonging to the same category as the representation whose border area was selected. A general purpose computer can be programmed to function as the device by means of a computer program product.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus comprising user operable control means for controlling the apparatus, detection means for detecting an object and determining an identity of said object, and associating means for associating control options with said identity, the control means being operable to apply said control options in response to the detection means detecting and identifying said object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for browsing a collection of information units, such as audio or video files, comprising presentation means for presenting an information unit from said collection, and attribute means for associating a respective information unit with an attribute value for at least a first attribute. The system according to the invention randomly selects information units which meet certain criteria for said first attribute.
