Abstract: A method includes executing a gesture with a user-manipulated physical object in the vicinity of a device; generating data that is descriptive of the presence of the user-manipulated object when executing the gesture; and interpreting the data as pertaining to at least one object, such as an object displayed by the device.

Abstract: Various methods for written mathematical expression analysis are provided. One method may include receiving written input where the written input is representative of a mathematical expression. The method may also include analyzing the written input to identify at least one operator and at least one operand and constructing an expression tree based at least in part on predefined symbol relationships, the at least one operator, and the at least one operand. Similar apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Mobile communication or computing devices, and methods and systems for the operation of mobile communication devices; each involving a binary code in square form which has been encoded with binary data arrayed within the square form, whereby the code in square form includes at least one border not including binary data, but including code size indication data in the form of a repetitive sequence.

Abstract: A method for inputting characters to a mobile communication apparatus is disclosed. The method includes enabling input of strokes representing a first character in a first area of a touch sensitive display; determining the first character from the strokes; determining one or more candidates of characters for word association with the first character; presenting the one or more candidates on the display; and enabling selection among the one or more candidates. A mobile communication apparatus includes means for inputting characters is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus (100) for handwriting recognition has a touch-sensitive display screen (240) providing a hand writing input area (270) capable of detecting hand-made user input. The apparatus also has a processing device (300) coupled to the touch-sensitive display screen and providing a user interface to a user. The handwriting input area (270) includes a writing start area (280) capable of switching between a first two-dimensional scope (282) and a second two-dimensional scope (282?), larger than the first two-dimensional scope. The processing device (300) is configured to handle said handmade user input as either a logical mouse event, associated with a control operation for said user interface, or a logical pen event, associated with handwriting.

Abstract: A system and method for statistical bar code reading for electronic devices having a camera. After a bar code is captured by the camera, a one-dimensional wave form is created based upon the captured bar code. A feature vector is created from the one-dimensional wave form, and the feature vector is compared to a plurality of reference vectors. An algorithm is used to select the reference vector that is most similar to the feature vector in order to correctly identify the captured bar code.
