Abstract: A system may include an electronic device having a location sensor, and a computer-readable storage medium having programming instructions. The system may obtain, from the location sensor, a current location of the electronic device, display an electronic map representative of an area in proximity to the current location via a display of the electronic device, and display, on the electronic map, an indication of the current location of the electronic device. The system may receive a selection of a geographical location on the electronic map, and in response to receiving the selection, automatically display, on the electronic map, a visual representation of direct navigational directions from the current location of the electronic device to the selected geographical location. The display may be a touch-sensitive display, and the electronic device may receive a selection of a geographical location on the electronic map via input on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a projecting effect adjusting device containing at least a optical module that can change the LED projecting effects. The projecting effect adjusting device has the function of two-dimensional displacement and fixed-point locating using a displacing control module and a locating module. The said two-dimensional displacement allows at least the linear displacement of the projecting effect adjusting device between the first position and the second position. The fixed-point locating allows at least the projecting effect adjusting device to be located on the first position and the second position. The first position is set to keep a distance between the optical module and the LED matrix light source and the second position is set between the optical module and the light-emitting plane of the LED matrix light source.

Abstract: An on-line method and apparatus for collecting demographic information from a user of a home WWW site and for dynamically selecting questions to present to the user is disclosed. A plurality of sponsor symbols are displayed for the user on the home WWW site. A signal is received at the home WWW site from the user indicating a selection of one of the sponsor symbols by the user. In response to the selected sponsor symbol, a first set of one or more prize symbols are displayed for the user on the home WWW site. A further signal is then received at the home WWW site from the user indicating a selection of a prize symbol from the first set of prize symbols by the user. Next, the system determines whether the user is a registered user of the home WWW site and, if the user is not a registered user of the home WWW site, the system collects demographic information about the user during registration of the user on the home WWW site.

Abstract: An on-line method and apparatus for collecting demographic information from a user of a home WWW site and for dynamically selecting questions to present to the user. A plurality of sponsor symbols are displayed for the user on the home WWW site. Each of the sponsor symbol corresponds to an entity that has paid an owner of the home WWW site for the right to be presented to the user on the site. A signal is received at the home WWW site from the user indicating a selection of one of the sponsor symbols by the user. In response to the selected sponsor symbol, a first set of one or more prize symbols are displayed for the user on the home WWW site. Each prize symbol corresponds to a prize that the user can register to win at no cost to the user. A further signal is then received at the home WWW site from the user indicating a selection of a prize symbol from the first set of prize symbols by the user.
