  • Patent number: 9626238
    Abstract: A sensor interface is provided with a number of sensor inputs and a number of client inputs. The client inputs are configured to receive a number of data requests from a number of clients. The number of data requests include at least one data request that specifies a particular type of data to be returned, without identifying a particular physical sensor to be used in acquiring the particular type of data. A processor is configured to i) determine what sensor data can be used to satisfy the number of data requests, ii) configure ones of the sensor inputs to receive sensor data from a number of physical sensors, and iii) if possible, satisfy the number of data requests using the received sensor data. Methods and apparatus pertaining to such a sensor interface are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8040233
    Abstract: Methods and systems enable selection of a theme for implementation on a computing device based on sensor data. The computing device can include a variety of sensors including sensors capable of sensing ambient temperature, light, and sound, as well as geographic position, for example. Data collected by a sensor is used to select a theme correlated to the sensed condition. Data from sensors can also be used to generate customized advertisements that can be displayed on the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20090077467
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing an intuitive user-interface on a mobile device keypad for controlling television and multimedia applications uses a keypad protocol as a standard interface between video application software and the mobile device keypad. The keypad protocol can provide a common set of interfaces and APIs to facilitate development of video applications that are compatible with a wide variety of keypads, including keypads that may be developed after applications are fielded. Video applications can inform the keypad protocol of keypad configurations to support video functions, including providing graphics for presenting intuitive function description graphics on display keypads. In an embodiment, the mobile device can be configured to control external multimedia players using a area wireless data link transceiver within the mobile device while presenting intuitive graphics on the keypad showing assigned multimedia player functions assigned to particular keys.
