Abstract: A system and method for user interaction with projected content are provided. A computer generated image is projected onto a surface, the computer generated image comprising at least one symbol. The projected computer generated image is imaged to obtain a sensor image. The location of the symbol within the sensor image is detected and based on the location of the symbol in the sensor image a device may be controlled.

Abstract: Introduced is a method for using mobile communications devices for monitoring purposes. In one embodiment the method includes (1) a first mobile communications device to transmit a control signal to a second mobile communications device directing the second mobile communications device to capture an image with its camera and transmit the image to the first mobile communications device; and (2) displaying the image on a screen on the first mobile communications device.

Abstract: A method for graphical object manipulation using a touch sensitive screen, the method comprises detecting a presence of two user interactions within a defined boundary of a graphical object displayed on the touch sensitive screen, determining position of each of the two user interactions with respect to the graphical object, detecting displacement of at least one of the two user interactions, and manipulating the graphical object based on the displacement to maintain the same position of each of the two user interactions with respect to the graphical object.

Abstract: A method for classifying input to a multi-touch sensitive digitizer that is obtained from a body part as inputs invalid for user interaction and inputs valid for user interaction comprises: identifying a plurality of discrete regions of input to a digitizer sensor; determining spatial relation between at least two of the regions; and classifying one of the at least two regions as either valid input region or invalid input region based on the spatial relation determined between the at least two regions.

Abstract: To enable a user of a mobile communication device to make a selection from a list of items with a minimum of input actions, a method for displaying information, in particular text information, on the display of a mobile communication device is introduced. The method calls for the display of the information to be automatically scrolled. A mobile communication device configured to carry out the method is also introduced.

Abstract: A mobile communication device and a method of controlling the same to enable a children's safe mode. In one embodiment, the mobile communication device has a user input device, a user output device, a storage device configured to store digital data and a transceiver configured to communicate with a second communication device. The mobile communication device includes a user-activatable children's safe operating mode in which the mobile communication device is configured to: (a) inhibit user-activation of the transceiver, (b) inhibit user-alteration of user-defined data stored in the storage device and (c) cause the output device to provide pre-defined output data retrieved from the storage device in response to user input provided via the user input device.

Abstract: Introduced is a method for providing call center support to a mobile communications device. In one embodiment the method includes (1) establishing voice and data connectivity between a mobile communications device having a visual display and a call center communications device having a visual display; and (2) causing an entirety of an image appearing on the visual display of the mobile communications device to be replicated on the visual display of the call center communications device.

Abstract: Provided is a method of establishing a communications connection that enables the party requesting such connection to send data regarding the connection together with the request signal connection. In one embodiment, the method includes (1) transmitting user-defined information data together with a request for connection signal from a first communications device to a second communications device; and (2) extracting the user-defined information data at the second communications device prior to establishing a connection with the first communications device.

Abstract: A communications device that generates a visual ring signal as an indication of an incoming call and a method of generating a visual ring signal for a communications device. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a digital representation of an audio sequence and displaying a sequence of visual effects based on the digital representation.

Abstract: Introduced is method of establishing communications between a call center and a user of a voice communications device, wherein parallel voice and data connections are established. In one embodiment of the method, a voice connection between a communication device and a call center is established and, parallel thereto, a data connection between the communications device and a data server is also established. By giving the call center access to the data server at the same time the user has access call center support is enhanced. The method permits the call center to be responsive to user inquiries at the same time the user is on line with the data server. For example, if the reason a user is in contact with the call center is to complete an application for insurance, the call center can provide verbal assistance to the user at the same time the user is completing an application form furnished by the data server.

Abstract: A method of, and a device for, storing and retrieving information with a mobile communications device.
