  • Patent number: 10832369
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit the capture mode to be determined following the capture of the content. In the context of a method, content may be initially captured, such as without an indication of the capture mode. Following capture of the content, the method includes determining one or more candidate capture modes from a plurality of capture modes based upon information associated with the content that has been captured. The method also includes causing the one or more candidates capture modes to be presented to a user for selection. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10642754
    Abstract: An approach is provided for suggesting data for deletion from an electronic data storage medium. An external device detects initiation of transfer of data from first storage medium to second storage medium. Next, the external device determines an available storage in the second storage medium for the data. Then, the external device generates a list to suggest content for deletion within the second storage medium to accommodate the data.

  • Publication number: 20190391826
    Abstract: A method of operating a computer network comprising a communications device (10) adapted to communicate over a short range communication interface (104) with a plurality of user equipment (UE) (devices 103a,103b,103c) and to communicate with a server (106) over a wide area communication (interface 105). The method comprises obtaining, from the server 06, resource identification data; providing a command to the UEs (103a,103b,103c) to cause the UEs (103a,103b,103c) to obtain, from the (server 106), a list associated with the resource identification data; receiving request data from the UEs (103a,103b,103c) indicating items requested from the list; combining the request data.

  • Patent number: 9928309
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for managing content on at least two devices. An interface provides a listing of content, such as multimedia files, stored on devices such as a personal computer and/or mobile device. Indicators associated with a content item indicate whether or not associated content is stored on the respective devices. Selection of an indicator may result in copying of files from one device to another, deletion of a media file from a respective device, and/or downloading a file from a location remote from either or both devices to a respective device. Indicators may be updated to reflect the completion of copying, deletion, and/or downloading.
