Abstract: An enhancement for managing driver safety is presented. Using for example driver related information and/or information relating to circumstances surrounding a vehicle is stored in a driver mentoring application. The driver mentoring application executes visual demand algorithm using information relating at least to the driver and/or the surrounding circumstances. An application for tracking visual attention of the driver is launched and visual attention information is provided to the driver mentoring application. If the application detects that the visual attention is directed to something else than navigating the vehicle a timer is started to measure the time. Using a value received from the visual demand algorithm the driver mentoring application defines a threshold time for an intervention. If the measured time meets the defined threshold time mentoring is given to the driver to allocate more visual attention to navigating the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for entering characters in a user interface of an electronic device. The method according to the invention comprises: detecting the direction of movement indicated by the input device when the start of the character entering function has been detected; showing the character of the character area on the display, towards which character area the direction of movement indicated by the input device is proceeding; detecting the termination of the character entering function; interpreting the character towards whose character area the direction of movement was last detected to proceed as the character to be entered next, when the termination of the character entering function is detected.

Abstract: Arrangement for providing operational settings to an electronic device including a data storage, including at least one data storage element including instructions needed to perform one or more functions in the electronic device. The electronic device includes reading means for reading one or more of the plurality of data storage elements, the electronic device further including controlling means for performing one or more functions defined by the instructions included in the read data storage element included in the data storage.

Abstract: A direction of movement indicated by an input device is detected when a start of a character entering function has been detected. The entered character is shown on the character area on a display, towards which character area the direction of movement indicated by the input device is proceeding. The termination of the character entering function is detected, and the character towards whose character area the direction of movement was last detected to proceed as the character to be entered next is detected.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method and a software application embodying the method for displaying the information in the display (10) of a data processing device in a situation where a portion of the display (10) area, and thus also a portion of the information on the display, is covered by an obstacle (11) in front of the display (10). The method according to the invention detects the size and position of the obstacle (11), and then regroups (12c) the information in the display (10) into a portion of the display (10), which is not left behind the detected obstacle (11).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a locking function in a locking arrangement. The method presented comprises creating (300) a database from predetermined objects; determining (302) at least one user-specific inter-object internal order in the database; detecting (304) a control command for starting the control of the locking function; displaying (306) a predetermined number of objects on the display of the locking arrangement once the control command is detected; detecting (308) the selection order of the objects; and changing (316) the lock state when the detected object selection order is at least sufficiently close to a given user-specific inter-object internal order.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a method and device for the viewing, editing and dissemination of an editable object in real-time mobile collaboration sessions. The invention comprises a set of mobile terminals and a protocol which enables users to simultaneously edit the same editable object. An advantageous embodiment of this invention allows for synchronization to occur in real time. Further, synchronization and version control problems are avoided as the invention considers each user's edited version to be a genuine version of the data. The end result of the editing process may be several different versions, and not just one single authoritative version.

Abstract: An apparatus for quantifying irradiance has a first sensor having an output for providing a reference signal of irradiance within a first band, such as the visible light band. A filter and a second sensor are in optical series so that irradiance sensed at the second sensor is filtered. The second sensor outputs a filtered signal of irradiance within the first band. The filter particularly filters irradiance in the first band as a function of irradiance in the second band, such as the UV light band. In an exemplary embodiment, the filter is made from a material that darkens with increasing UV irradiance. A processor has inputs coupled to the outputs of the first and second sensors for determining irradiance in the second band from the reference signal and the filtered signal. Mathematical formulations for the processor are provided, as are methods and a computer program embodied on a medium. A single sensor embodiment is also described.
