  • Publication number: 20130222226
    Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: in response to detecting a particular non-selecting user input spatially associated with a tactile user interface of an electronic device, provide for changing a region of the tactile user interface from a first configuration to a second configuration, the tactile user interface region comprising one or more user interface elements, wherein when the tactile user interface region is in the second configuration, the user interface elements of the tactile user interface region have a different depth aspect than when the tactile user interface region is in the first configuration.

  • Publication number: 20120278216
    Abstract: An approach is provided for sharing a self-created account for storing assets. An asset sharing platform determines at least one account for storing a representation of one or more associated assets. The at least one account is a self-created account associated with at least one device. The asset sharing platform further causes at least in part, a sharing of the at least one account with at least one other device to enable collective access to the at least one account by the at least one device and the at least one other device with substantially equal rights.

  • Publication number: 20120104095
    Abstract: Various methods for card reading and providing associated output are provided. One example method includes receiving one or more signals provided by one or more sensors, the one or more signals being an indication that a medium is moving relative to the one or more sensor, determining position attributes of the medium based at least on the one or more signals provided by the sensor, and causing a graphic to be presented as moving in relation to the movement of the medium relative to the one or more sensors based at least on the position attributes. Similar and related example methods, example apparatuses, and example computer program products are also provided.
