Abstract: This invention relates to a method of performing a competition between teams by means of at least two sets of modular units (20A, 20B; 21A, 21B; 22A, 22B). The invention further relates to a modular unit for performing a competition between teams.

Abstract: A method of allowing a user to select a menu option, which method comprises the steps of allowing the user to select a position (21) on a screen, displaying a plurality of menu option identifiers (23, 25) near the selected position (21) on the screen, defining a plurality of selection areas (27, 29), and allowing the user to select a specific one of the selection areas (27, 29) so as to select the menu option. Each selection area (27, 29) is located around a specific one of the menu option identifiers (23, 25) and has a size proportional to a distance between the specific one of the menu option identifiers (23, 25) and the selected position (21) on the screen. The method can be performed by an electronic device, possibly enabled by a computer program product.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method (and corresponding system) for providing location-aware media information and more specifically a method for providing location-aware audio content by an audio-presenting device capable of presenting audio content. On the audio source (401) comprising processing means (301) one or more sensors (404), may be positioned in order to locate the position(s) of one or more audio-presenting devices attached, close, or distant to said audio source. The sensors are used by receiving signal(s) to determine the location of the available audio-presenting devices. The audio-presenting device's (402, 403) location relative to the user's working position—in front of the display device (406)—may be estimated by the audio source (401) and thereby provides information items to the audio-presenting devices (402, 403) by the method according to the present invention so as to provide desired sound signals.

Abstract: This invention relates to method of presenting content by means of a display unit (10) connected or attached to a media device (23-26). The invention further relates to a display unit for presenting content. The media device may be a personal computer, a television, a camera, a video camera, a game unit or a mobile unit. Said method includes the steps of: connecting or attaching the display unit to a first location relative to a media device; determining, by the media device, the first location of the display unit; determining, by the media device, a first information item representing content, wherein said first information item is dependent on said location and a content presented on the media device; transferring, by the media device, the first information item to the display unit; and receiving and presenting (i.e. displaying and/or playing back) said first in formation item oil the display unit.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of playing a game by means of a game element (10). The invention further relates to a game element and a game board for playing a game. Said method comprises the steps of: placing the game element on a first location relative to a game board (40); determining, by the game board, the first location of the game element; determining, by the game board, a first information item representing game content, wherein said first information item is dependent on said location and a first game being played; transferring, by the game board, the first information item to the game element; and receiving and presenting said first information item on the game element. Said first information item may include plain text, pictures, frames, video, word-processor data, spread-sheet data, game figures, game elements, text or picture messages, and combinations thereof.
