Abstract: A system, process, and computer program product are provided for scanning a document with a hand-held device. An approach for scanning the document includes the steps of sampling one or more values from an array of sensors integrated into a hand-held device, determining whether the device has moved at least a threshold distance, and sampling one or more additional values from the array of sensors.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for sensing input stimulus at an input device. The method includes the steps of configuring an input device comprising a first sensor layer and a second sensor layer to activate the first sensor layer and to deactivate the second sensor layer, where the second sensor layer is layered above the first sensor layer and associated with a stimulus device. When a request to activate the second sensor layer is received, the input device is configured to activate the second sensor layer to respond to stimulus received by the stimulus device and to deactivate the first sensor layer. A third sensor layer may be included in the input device and the third sensor layer may be associated with a different stimulus device.

Abstract: A method includes providing a primary camera and a secondary camera in a data processing device. The primary camera and the secondary camera are both capable of capturing an image and/or a video frame of a same resolution. The method also includes enabling the secondary camera and the primary camera to be utilized as standalone cameras, and providing a capability to rotate the secondary camera from an angular position of utilization as the standalone camera to an angular position of utilization thereof in conjunction with the primary camera as a three-dimensional (3D) camera offering stereoscopic separation between the primary camera and the secondary camera.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are provided for implementing a hand-held device as a wireless mouse for controlling a wirelessly-connected device. The hand-held device includes a position sensor and includes an integrated case connected to the hand-held device. The case includes at least one button for providing user input.
