Patent number: 8378985Abstract: An electronic device includes a first touch panel disposed on a first side of the device. The first touch panel receives a first touch input. The electronic device further includes a display disposed on the first side of the device, and a touch interface disposed on a second side of the device, where the second side is different than the first side. The touch interface receives a second touch input. A control unit receives an indication of the first touch input from the first touch panel and receives an indication of the second touch input from the touch interface. The control unit further determines alterations to a three dimensional view of the display in the x, y and/or z directions based on the first touch input, and rotates the three dimensional view on the display angularly in accordance with movement of the second touch input.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Sony Mobile Communications ABInventors: Ola Thörn, Peter Åberg, Erik Backlund, Henrik Bengtsson, Jari Sassi, Henrik Heringslack

Publication number: 20120019557Abstract: A device may obtain location information of an AR display device and obtain identifiers associated with objects that are within a field of view of the AR display device based on the location information. In addition, the device may obtain, for each of the objects, AR information based on the identifiers and determine, for each of the objects, a distance of the object from the AR display device. Furthermore, the device may generate, for each of the objects, images of the AR information at a virtual distance from the AR display device, the virtual distance corresponding to the determined distance. The device may display the generated images at the AR display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Applicant: SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS ABInventors: Pär-Anders Aronsson, Erik Backlund, Andreas Kristensson

Publication number: 20080293448Abstract: According to the invention a first communication device investigates if there is an entry of a contacting identifier received in the device in a contacts register. In case there is no such entry it locates, in the contacts register, communication devices in a set of communication devices providing a lookup service, which set includes at least one communication device and where at least one communication device is a personal communication device, an sends a query regarding the contacting identifier to at least one second communication device of the set. The second communication device receives the query and investigates an own contacts register. In case the contacting identifier is provided in the own contacts register it further locates an identity associated with the contacting identifier and automatically sends data regarding the identity to the first communication device as a response to the query.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2007Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS ABInventors: Markus ANDREASSON, Per ASTRAND, Erik BACKLUND
