  • Publication number: 20150156188
    Abstract: Methods and systems to provide secure electronic document transactions are described. In one embodiment, a processor creates a first data storage container capable of being nested as a component file of a second data storage container. In one embodiment, the first data storage container comprises: a unique first data storage container identifier; at least one unique component file identifier to identify at least one component file of the first data storage container, and the component file is an electronic document or another data storage container. In one embodiment, the first data storage container further comprises: at least one component file hash value for the at least one component file; a first attribute set; and a first data storage container hash value calculated based on features including the at least one unique component file identifier, the at least one component file hash value, and the first attribute set.

  • Patent number: 9002326
    Abstract: A method is provided which comprises, upon detecting a particular event, determining that a notification is to be provided for the particular event; and activating a light source acting as a camera flash to provide the notification. The method may further comprise determining if an image capture application is currently active and only having the light source emit the camera flash as the notification if the image capture application is not currently active. The method may also comprise determining an orientation of the mobile device, determining if the image capture application is active, and only having the light source emit the camera flash as the notification if the orientation is indicative of visibility of the light source and if the image capture application is not currently active. The method may also comprise determining that the camera flash is to be modulated; and having the light source modulated.

    Inventors: Gene Shih-Ching Wang, Sherman Wang
  • Patent number: 8886651
    Abstract: A data set is clustered into one or more initial clusters using a first term space. Initial themes for the initial clusters are determined. The first term space is reduced to create a reduced term space. At least a portion of the data set is reclustered into one or more baby clusters using the reduced term space. One or more singletons are reassigned to form one or more renovated clusters from the baby clusters. A renovated theme is determined for at least some of the renovated clusters. One or more of the renovated clusters and their respective themes are provided as output.

  • Patent number: 8382486
    Abstract: An electrical connector and electronic device for connecting to a complementary electrical connector are provided. The electrical connector comprises a main body containing one or more electrically conducting mediums. The electrical connector also comprises an end piece rotatably connected to the main body at one end of the main body. The end piece has a connecting side for engaging the complementary electrical connector. The end piece is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The connecting side comprises one or more electrical contacts for engaging complementary electrical contacts on the complementary electrical connector. Each electrical contact of the electrical connector is electrically connected to one of the electrically conducting mediums of the main body. The connecting side also comprises a magnet disposed on the connecting side of the end piece for engaging a complementary magnet on the complementary electrical connector.

  • Publication number: 20120319937
    Abstract: A pressure sensitive device and operating method thereof that detects a location and magnitude of an applied pressure. The device has a base and a deformable surface that enclose a deformable material that has an electrical impedance. Impedance measurements are made at multiple points along the base and the deformable surface. A contour of the deformable surface, caused by the applied pressure, is estimated. The position of the pressure relative to the center of the device is estimated based on contour and is interpreted as a user input specifying a direction. The amount of applied pressure is also estimated based on contour and is interpreted as a user input specifying a magnitude. The user input specifying location direction and magnitude is provided to processing for any application, such as controlling a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20120203844
    Abstract: A presentation including a plurality of presentation files associated with a plurality of users is managed as follows. A wireless link is established between each user wireless device in a plurality of user wireless devices. A set of presentation files is received from each user wireless device. The set of presentation files is associated with a presentation. A set of presentation related data is received from at least one of the user wireless devices. The set of presentation related data at least identifies a plurality of presenters associated with the set of presentation files. A presentation priority associated with each of the presenters is identified. One of the presenters is selected based on the presentation priority that has been identified. Control of the presentation associated with the set of presentation files is allocated to a user wireless device that is associated with the presenter that has been selected.
