Abstract: A computer-implemented method for intelligently generating presentations, the method comprising the steps of: analysing the variation in colours of pixels in the digital image; and, if the variation is below a predetermined threshold, applying one or more rules to increase visibility of the digital image in the presentation.

Abstract: A method of displaying transition sequence in a user interface on an electronic device is provided. When a transition sequence is presented in a user interface, repeated use of the transition sequence can fatigue a user and the desired effect can be lost. In addition the repeated use of a transition sequence can provide the appearance that the user interface or device is not performing quickly. By modifying parameters of the transition sequence in response to user actions an improved user experience.

Abstract: A control circuit detects a predetermined event (such as but not limited to a particular time of day) and responsively automatically switches to an alarm state. While in this alarm state the control circuit monitors at least one non-snooze-specific area of a user input (such as but not limited to an area of a touch-sensitive display) for a user's gesture (such as but not limited to a swipe). In response to detecting the user's gesture while in the alarm state the control circuit automatically interprets the user's gesture as a snooze instruction regarding the alarm state.

Abstract: A method and system for rendering scenes in stereoscopic 3-D comprises identifying, or detecting, that a rate of change, of one or more elements of a scene to be rendered in stereoscopic 3-D, satisfies a criterion. The perceived depth of elements of the scene is then dynamically modified, and the scene is rendered. The method can reduce eye strain of a viewer of the scene, since the perceived difference in depth of objects or elements of the scene is reduced while the object is changing position or visibility dramatically.

Abstract: A display system with image sensor based display orientation is provided.
