Abstract: A system, device, method, and computer program product are provided for allowing a user of the device to more easily annotate data files and/or images received by or created by the electronic device or system. For example, according to one embodiment, when a user takes a digital picture using a camera-equipped mobile phone, annotation data may be automatically presented to the user when a preview of the image is first displayed on the electronic display. The annotation data may be presented to the user as a list that semi-transparently overlays the preview of the image. The annotation list and/or the individual annotations that make up the list may be customizable. The annotation choices in the list may correspond to keys on the electronic device. Annotation data may be stored with the image or file as embedded metadata. The selected annotation data may also be used to create file folders in a memory device and/or store the image or file in a particular file folder in the memory device.

Abstract: A transport mechanism for supporting the download of SVG over FLUTE or UDP. A RTP payload format is specified that enables live streaming and the streaming of rich media content. According to the present invention, rich media content is encapsulated in RTP packets based upon the payload format at the sender. With the present invention, an efficient framework is provided for satisfying several use cases or scenarios that involve rich media transmission.

Abstract: A device for rendering to multiple viewpoints of a stereoscopic display is provided. The device includes vertex shaders which receive vertices corresponding to primitives and process viewpoint dependent information. The device also includes a primitive replication unit which replicates primitives according to a number of viewpoints supported by the stereoscopic display. The primitive replication unit adds unique view tags to each of the primitives which identify the viewpoint that the respective primitive is destined for. Each replicated primitive is processed by a rasterizer and converted into pixels. The rasterizer adds a view tag to the rasterized pixels so that the pixels identify a respective primitive and identify a respective pixel buffer that the pixel is destined for. The pixels can then be processed by a pixel processing unit and written to a pixel buffer corresponding to a respective viewpoint. The pixels are subsequently output to the stereoscopic display.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for generating an image, such as a thumbnail, representation of a video sequence, where the video sequences includes a plurality of frames, at least some of which include an image of a scene that may include one or more objects. The method can include identifying a plurality of objects from the video sequence, and selecting at least some of the identified objects. In addition, the method can include extracting the selected objects from the frames of the video sequence including the respective objects, and combining the selected and extracted objects into an image representation of the video sequence.

Abstract: A method including forming a query to specifically request at least one user interface element not resident upon a device, transmitting the query to a remote repository comprising a plurality of user interface element definitions, dynamically retrieving response data from the remote repository in response to the query, and applying the response data to a user interface of the device.

Abstract: A method of embedding vector graphics content such as SVG into the 3GPP ISO Base Media File Format for progressive downloading or streaming of live rich media content over MMS/PSS/MBMS services. The method of the present invention allows the file format to be used for the packaging of rich media content including graphics, video, text and images; enables streaming servers to generate RTP packets; and enables clients to realize, play, or render rich media content.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring the similarity between SVG documents. The present invention involves reducing the respective documents to their minimal logical representations and then analyzing the representations using tree isomorphism techniques. Applications can then use this comparison data to more efficiently perform actions such as content compression, content streaming and content searching.

Abstract: A system and method for providing feedback formats and transport protocol extensions to support interactivity between a rich media client and a rich media server. The present invention provides for feedback formats and protocol extensions for protocols such as SMS, MMS, HTTP and RTSP. These feedback formats and protocol extensions may be used for dynamic menus, rich media players, user voting situations, video/audio selection services, remote user interfaces, and other applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying and manipulating a data object on a display of a mobile electronic device utilizing multi-dimensional tabbing. The invention relates also to a means for creating the data object. The method utilizes information arranged in a tree like hierarchy in the memory of the electronic device. The user of the cellular terminal can move back and forth from one level in the tree hierarchy to other level or inside one level by tabbing.

Abstract: In progressive downloading of multimedia content, such as SVG files, the client buffers some data for a certain time so the content can be decoded and presented in a timely manner. In order for the client to start presenting the content of a file at an appropriate time, the client has to estimate the start-up delay time correctly. The server, prior to or at the time of sending the data, provides the client information indicative of content properties, such as the size and content presentation time of some or all scenes. The information may include transmission minimum bandwidth to ensure each remaining scene will be available before its presentation time. The client estimates the start-up delay time based on the provided information. Furthermore, the client can determine when to remove one or more files from its data buffer in order to minimize the memory usage.
