  • Controlling text symbol display size on a display using a remote control device
    Patent number: 7379078
    Abstract: Described is a solution for controlling text symbol size on a display of a display unit based on a measurement of the distance between a remote control device and the display unit. A distance sensing module provides a distance measurement based upon detection of a transmitted signal from the remote control device. A symbol size calculation module determines a target symbol height based on the distance measurement, and a symbol size adjustment module adjusts the size of symbolic content on the display preferably using animation.

  • Interactive context preserved navigation of graphical data sets using multiple physical tags
    Patent number: 7089288
    Abstract: A system for N-space navigation of digital data sets. The system includes an electronic tag having a digitally readable identifier, an electronic tag reader configured to read the identifier of the electronic tag, and a computing system connected to the electronic tag reader to provide digital navigation services of N-space data sets in response to reading the identifier of the electronic tag. The computing system generates at least one transitional data point in N-space for output between a currently displayed start point and a target point referenced by the identifier.
