  • Publication number: 20090244020
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an electronic device and a method and a computer program product for operating an electronic device by means of contact. The device includes a display (120) for receiving contact between a human finger (230) or another item and a contact sensitive area (220) on the display; a sensing unit for registering the contact with the display and for converting the contact into electrical signals and a processing unit for calculating coordinates associated with the display (120) from the electrical signals received from the sensing unit and for comparing the received coordinates with predefined coordinates stored in a memory indicative of gesture sensitive areas on the display. The processing unit is adapted for initiating a browsing of an electronic document (200), where the browsing is responsive to the speed with which the gesture is performed by a human finger or another item in contact with the display.

  • Publication number: 20090111495
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for retrieving contacts in a portable device being arranged to operatively communicate messages and being provided with: access to a memory arrangement comprising a plurality of contacts, each being associated with one or several contact addresses for enabling a user of the portable device to communicate messages with the contact in question; a presentation arrangement for presenting contacts; and at least one control unit for controlling the operation of the portable device. The portable is arranged to perform the method, which is characterized by the steps of: monitoring the number of messages that are communicated with the device for each contact in a set of contacts among said plurality of contacts; sorting said set of contacts with respect to the number of times each contact has been involved in the communication of a message; presenting the sorted set of contacts on the presentation arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20090077494
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a computing device and method for handling information, comprising: a processing unit (31) running a graphical user interface, i.e. GUI; a memory (32); a graphics handling program for receiving and handling events related to the user interface; a display unit (401); predictive text input system. The processing unit is configured to receive signals indicative of data input from the user interface in an input field having an input field identity and generate a feedback to the user interface based on the data input and the input field identity.
