Abstract: A computer-implemented method for intelligently generating presentations, the method comprising the steps of: analysing the variation in colours of pixels in the digital image; and, if the variation is below a predetermined threshold, applying one or more rules to increase visibility of the digital image in the presentation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a presentation including a plurality of slides, the method comprising: storing a first slide and a second slide, each slide having one or more content elements; selecting, based on the one or more content elements of the first slide or the second slide or both, a slide transition from a set of slide transitions, each slide transition in the set of slide transitions defining how display of one slide changes to display of another slide; displaying the first slide; and, subsequently changing display of the first slide to display of the second slide in accordance with the selected slide transition. An electronic device and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a presentation in accordance with a theme defining the graphical appearance and layout of the presentation is provided. The method comprises generating a test image for display on an external display, capturing a digital image of the test image displayed on the external display, digitally analysing the captured digital image, selecting the theme for the presentation based on the analysis, and, generating the presentation in accordance with the selected these. An electronic device and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A method for use in an electronic device is described. The electronic device is configured to function in a first operating state and a second operating state. The method comprises generating, when in the first operating state, a first tactile feedback in response to user input associated only with the first operating state.

Abstract: A method at an electronic device including a touch-sensitive display for receiving touch input and a keyboard comprising a plurality of buttons, the method comprising: detecting actuation of a button on at least one of the plurality of buttons; detecting a touch input at the touch-sensitive display while the button is actuated; responding to the touch input, wherein response to the touch input while the button is actuated is different to response to touch input detected while the button is not actuated.

Abstract: A method for use in a device is described. The method comprising the steps of detecting a gesture at the device; and outputting data, to a remote device, for controlling a display object on a portion of a display generated by the remote device, wherein the display object is controlled in response to the detected gesture performed at the device, and wherein the data pertains to an application executable on the device. A device is also described.

Abstract: A control circuit detects a predetermined event (such as but not limited to a particular time of day) and responsively automatically switches to an alarm state. While in this alarm state the control circuit monitors at least one non-snooze-specific area of a user input (such as but not limited to an area of a touch-sensitive display) for a user's gesture (such as but not limited to a swipe). In response to detecting the user's gesture while in the alarm state the control circuit automatically interprets the user's gesture as a snooze instruction regarding the alarm state.

Abstract: Device for generating display data comprises memory configured to store application data, including application data pertaining to a first application executable on the device; an input interface configured to receive input; a processor in communication with the memory and input interface. The processor is configured to communicate with first and second display devices, generate and output first display data for display on the first display device, and generate and output second display data for display on the second display device, in accordance with the input. In a first mode, the processor is configured to generate the first and second display data based on the application data pertaining to the first application. In a second mode, the processor is configured to generate the first display data based on the application data, and to generate the second display data so as to include preconfigured display data for display on the second device.

Abstract: A device for generating display data comprises memory configured to store application data defining one or more display objects; an input interface configured to receive input; and a processor in communication with the memory and input interface and configured to output display data in accordance with the input. The processor is further configured to modify the application data according to a predetermined code to symbolise an operating status of the device in the display data; and to generate the display data including components which are representative of the display objects defined by the modified application data before outputting the display data.
