Abstract: A multi-touch display layer may have a texturizing polymer layer. The texturizing polymer layer may elevate a surface portion of the texturizing polymer layer to a level to texturize information displayed on the multi-touch display layer. A gesture may be detected for the elevated surface portion.
Abstract: An image displayed on a multi-touch display is associated with a tactile area that has an individually programmable tactile vibration pattern. The image may be automatically associated with a tactile area in association with a sensor detected rotation. Subsequent to the rotation, the image may be automatically associated with the individually programmable tactile vibration pattern.
Abstract: A multi-touch display layer of a mobile electronic device may be configured with a tactile area on a clear layer on the multi-touch display layer. The mobile electronic device may display a view of information based on applied force from a detected touch to the tactile area and a detected indentation level of the clear layer.
Abstract: A mobile device may utilize a rear facing camera and a depth sensor to capture a portion of a paper document or a book in an environment. The mobile device may identify the paper document or the book based on captured portions of the environment by two or more cameras and information received via a network adapter.
Abstract: A mobile computer may determine it is located in a vehicle or a conveyance based on a measured distance and satellite related positioning information.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting paper documents, books, or other objects using one or more sensors on one or more computing devices is disclosed. The one or more computing devices communicate and share information such that a paper document, book, or other object is detected and identified. Once identified, information relevant to the paper document, book, or other object is retrieved. Such an apparatus and method is disclosed to help to create a smart or interactive paper environment.
Abstract: An apparatus, method, or system for providing specialized platforms and computing environments for vehicles/conveyances to coexist with end user devices is disclosed. Provided configurations and operations may apply to autonomous vehicles/conveyances. Vehicle/conveyance operating systems (OSs) that provide augmented reality, mixed reality, hybrid reality, virtual reality, or artificial intelligence (AI) are also provided. Also provided are new devices or processes for vehicles/conveyances that are useful for any mobile device, such as a mobile computer, smartphone, tablet, wearable computer, or the like.
Abstract: A mobile computer may receive a bluetooth signal from a wireless sensor to determine entrance to a building. The mobile computer may track, on a floor of the building, its indoor position by utilization of a combination of Wi-Fi information and accelerometer information. The indoor position may be tracked without global positioning system (GPS) information and may be associated with a probability related accuracy value.
Abstract: A mobile computer determines its initial indoor location in a building. The initial indoor location may be associated with probability related accuracy and selectively determined with satellite related positioning information. The mobile computer may track, by utilization of the initial indoor location, data, and estimated accelerometer based motion information, location on a floor of the building. The data may be a combination of Wi-Fi information and sensor information.
Abstract: Determining, with utilization of environmental sensor data, a floor in a building that the mobile computer is located is disclosed. The mobile computer may track indoor position on the floor with a combination of Wi-Fi related position data and an estimated distance traveled determined with accelerometer data. The mobile computer may also determine an area on the floor where the mobile computer is located.
Abstract: A mobile computer may use building information to determine its indoor location or position. The mobile computer determines the dimensions of a room in a building using range determination or a range finder in the mobile computer. The determined dimensions of the room may be compared to the building information to locate, position, or track the mobile computer in the building.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, or system for providing real-time or almost real-time personal services by accessing or using components on electronic devices is disclosed. Access or control may be given to human personal service providers to an electronic device so that certain tasks or jobs may be performed remotely.
Abstract: A mobile computer configured with a multi-touch display that displays an image or video associated with adaptable tactile areas is disclosed. A controller component in coordination with the mobile computer may provide a different vibration of each of the tactile areas of the image or video. The different vibration may provide a tactile sensation in response to a multi-touch input detected by the mobile computer.
Abstract: Providing indoor location, position, or tracking of a mobile computer using combined sensor data and network related information is disclosed. Outdoor location, indoor location, and determined motion information may be combined to track the mobile computer indoors.
Abstract: A mobile electronic device that substantially individually controls tactile areas on a multi-touch display is disclosed. An image is associated with a tactile area. The tactile area may have a substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern. Subsequent to a rotation, the image may be automatically associated by the mobile electronic device with the substantially individually programmable tactile vibration pattern in a new tactile area.
Abstract: Providing indoor location, position, or tracking of a mobile computer is disclosed. Outdoor location, indoor location, and determined motion information is used to track the mobile computer indoors.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing augmented or mixed reality environments based on other user or third party information, such as from a profile, is disclosed. Also, an apparatus and method for providing a transparent display device with adaptive transparency is disclosed. The transparent display device with adaptive transparency may be used to generate the augmented reality environment.
