  • Patent number: 7710349
    Abstract: In a method for sharing multimedia application data by a plurality of communication devices, at least two communication devices establish a short-rang wireless communication link to a data distribution device. At least one of the communication devices informs the data distribution device of the data that are offered for sharing, and these data are presented by the data distribution device on a display. A user of one of the communication devices being connected to the data distribution device selects and requests data that he wants to download to a communication device, and the requested data are then transmitted to the communication device via the data distribution device.

  • Publication number: 20090327927
    Abstract: A theme creator includes an input unit for selecting and/or activating the theme creator, and a control unit configured to control the theme creator. The control unit is configured to receive image data transmitted by the camera when the theme creator has been selected and/or activated, and to change an appearance of the desktop and/or stand-by image depending on the image data from the camera and/or user input. A user may create his/her own theme such that a large number of preset themes and/or the use of an external theme editor could be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20080126928
    Abstract: A dynamic recording including transition information is provided. Transition behavior of a graphical user interface (GUI) element on a display of an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, is defined responsive to the dynamic recording. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dynamic recording may be generated responsive to a sensor of the electronic device, such as an audio sensor, a video sensor and/or a motion sensor. The GUT transition behavior may include, for example, a window transition behavior, a menu transition behavior and/or a dialog transition behavior. The defined GUI transition behavior may include, for example, movement, metamorphosis, shape transition behavior and/or color transition behavior. Apparatus and computer program products configured to perform such operations are provided.

  • Patent number: 6219218
    Abstract: An electromagnetic flux suppression includes a three stage filtering system to protect against electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge and has a first stage high voltage section that filters a high voltage pulse by providing a spark gap to ionize the ambient air and thus effectively form a shunt. A second stage filter has a front end capacitive interface followed by an inductive line to filter out radio frequency arcing that occurs between two bodies thus exposing them to radio frequency radiation. A third stage filter includes a radio frequency low pass filter to reinforce the capacitive inductance filter.
