Patent number: 8678067Abstract: The present invention proposes a posture-adjustable solar-collecting window blind, which can adjust the position of solar cells to better collect solar energy. In the window blind, a solar detector and an ampere meter are used to detect the relationship between the incident angle of sunlight and an optimal arrangement of the solar detector. The relationship can be further used to adjust the positions of the plurality of solar cells. Furthermore, the window blind comprises a light sensor to detect the light intensity of a target area, which can be complementarily used to adjust the position of the plurality of solar cells.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Igor Berezhnyy, Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks

Patent number: 8442976Abstract: Retrieval of similar content item or documents is provided based on similarity of their location or place. A base location is determined, for example using a GPS device. Location of one or more identified anchor document(s), in a database for example, is determined by extracting location data. Then a first threshold is set based on a criterion distance determined between the base location and the anchor item location. A candidate document item location is identified and the location data for candidate content item may be extracted. A distance between the base location and the candidate location may be determined as a candidate distance. A candidate content item may be selected as similar for retrieval based on the first candidate distance and the first threshold. The notion of criterion distance-determined granularity for setting a threshold is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks, Bartel Marinus Van De Sluis

Patent number: 8416210Abstract: An image display including a touch-sensitive display, that creates tactile sensation and movement of an object (3-2) along its surface is provided. Actuators including conductive rods (4-111, 4-112) attached together may be used, such that each rod of the actuator (4-11) may increase or decrease in size when current is applied to that rod to cause the actuator to bend toward a specified direction. Also, an image display that includes ball bearings (1-10) whose rotation is controlled by driving magnets (1-21, 1-22) to cause an object to move is provided. Further, air holes (3-11) tilted in various directions to control object movement by air pressure may be provided. Moreover, rods (3-10) may be moved up or down as activated by driving magnets (2-20). The actuators, rods, ball bearing assemblies, or holes may provide touch sensitivity for the image display.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V.Inventors: Nicolas De Jong, Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks, Murray Fulton Gillies, Jurgen Jean Louis Hoppenbrouwers, Johannes Henricus Maria Korst, Thomas Casper Kraan, Rogier Winters

Patent number: 8374880Abstract: The invention relates to the automatic creation of an atmosphere, particularly a lighting atmosphere, based on a keyword input such as a keyword typed or spoken by a user. A basic idea of the invention is to enable a user of an atmosphere creation system such as a lighting system to automatically create a specific atmosphere by simply using a keyword which is input to the system. The keyword, for example “eat”, “read”, “relax”, “sunny”, “cool”, “party”, “Christmas”, “beach”, may be spoken or typed by the user and may enable the user to find and explore numerous atmospheres in an interactive and playful way in embodiments of the invention. Finding atmosphere elements related to the keyword may be done in various ways according to embodiments of the invention. The invention allows also a non expert in designing or creating atmosphere scenes to control the creation of a desired atmosphere in an atmosphere creation system.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Bartel Marinus Van De Sluis, Elmo Marcus Attila Diederiks
