  • Patent number: 9438719
    Abstract: One embodiment is a device having an elongate pliable screen has first and second connection elements that connect together to hold, in a looped shape, a substrate carrying the screen, a receiver unit that receives notifications coming from an external appliance, and a control unit that causes received notifications to be rendered using a first rendering mode or a second rendering mode. The control unit detects the connection state of the first and second connection elements and causes a received notification to be rendered in the first or the second rendering mode as a function of the detected connection state between the connection elements. The first and second rendering modes may comprise respectively: displaying a symbolic or abridged picture indicative of the received notification, or displaying the content of a message conveyed by the received notification, depending on whether the first and second connection elements are connected together or disconnected.

  • Publication number: 20160182935
    Abstract: A method of controlling playback by a TV decoder module of a media stream on at least one device connected to the TV decoder. The method is performed by a home gateway connected to the TV decoder and a telephone control module. The telephone control module controls at least one telephone handset, wherein, in the event of the telephone control module receiving a telephone call, the home gateway determines whether there is proximity between the telephone handset and a device connected to the TV decoder, and if there is proximity, sends a first message to the TV decoder, the first message including an instruction to record the media stream being played back.

  • Publication number: 20140139519
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating an enriched image from an image (I) of a three-dimensional scene (S) acquired by optical acquisition means (12) from a reference spatial position, the method comprising the integration into the image (I), by data processing means (11), of at least one graphic object (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6, O7, O8, O9) associated with a spatial position of the scene (S), the method being characterized in that the data processing means (11) are configured for: (a) determining for each graphic object (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6, O7, O8, O9) whether the associated spatial position is visible in the scene (S) by a user of said obstacle acquisition means (12) from said reference spatial position; (b) integrating each graphic object (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O6, O7, O8, O9) into the image (I) depending on the result of the determination of visibility.

  • Publication number: 20130069941
    Abstract: A technique for processing display data on a screen for a navigational aid between a current position point and a destination point by comparing the distance from the current position with a threshold distance, processing display data, controlling a command of the display on the screen, respectively from the bottom to the top of the screen: a first 3-D representation, according to a perspective defined with a first angle of view in relation to a selected plane, of a panorama separated from the current position point by a distance that is less than said threshold distance; and a second representation, according to a perspective defined with a second angle of view in relation to said selected plane, of a panorama separated from the current position point by a distance that is greater than said threshold distance, the first angle being smaller than the second angle.
