  • Patent number: 9437132
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for applying concealment of components of an electronic device. In one embodiment, an electronic device may include a component that is disposed behind a display (e.g., a transparent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display) that is configured to selectively become transparent at certain transparency regions. Additionally, the electronic device includes data processing circuitry configured to determine when an event requesting that the component be exposed occurs. The data processing circuitry may control portions of the display to become transparent, to expose the component upon the occurrence of the event requesting that the component be exposed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070276676
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a social information system for managing socio-technical information. A system is provided that includes: a regulation engine for capturing data from a set of heterogeneous data sources and transforming the data into a common representation; a data standardization system for storing the data in a data warehouse in accordance with a defined data model; and an interaction engine having a workspace for allowing users to interact with data from the data warehouse, wherein the interaction engine includes a customization system for defining a lens for the user according to a taxonomy associated with the user, wherein the lens filters the data being viewed in the workspace to a presentation and granularity that conforms to the taxonomy.
