Abstract: This disclosure concerns wearable and/or handheld mobile electronic devices and methods for directional proximity detection of other wearable and/or handheld mobile electronic devices. A first wearable and/or handheld mobile electronic device (1) for directional proximity detection comprises a signal transceiver configured for wireless communication, and a control unit for the wireless communication.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display to output a video, a user interface for controlling a navigation in the video along a time axis, and a processing device. The processing device is configured, when operating in an operating mode in which an object shown in a plurality of frames of the video is selected by a user input, to determine a magnitude of a speed vector of the object, and to apply a time scaling factor which depends on the determined magnitude of the speed vector of the object to the navigation along the time axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system, an audio server, and a method for operating a communication system.

Abstract: A system and method of preparing images captured by a lifelog camera for efficient transfer from the camera to another device. The lifelog camera generates a corresponding thumbnail for each image that it captures, and an automated analysis engine analyzes the thumbnails for interestingness and, in some cases, for similarity.

Abstract: A media-reproduction device for adaptively reproducing media objects based upon social context of one or more people in proximity to the media-reproduction device is disclosed. The media-reproduction device includes an output device for reproducing a media object and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to identify a person in proximity to the media-reproduction device and to determine a social context based upon an analysis of social data corresponding to the identified person. The control circuit select at least one media object for reproduction on the output device based upon the social context and then reproduce the at least one media object on the output device. The media objects selected and reproduced on the output device can be adapted based upon changes in the social context.

Abstract: A digital photograph is processed by receiving a communication related to the digital photograph from an application external to an image storage device that stores the digital photograph. Parameters related to the application are processed. The digital photograph is changed based on the parameters related to the application. Related methods, devices, and/or computer program products are described.

Abstract: A method for a user, with a mobile communication device, to receive and display, in the mobile communication device, owner information coupled to a second user, having a second mobile communication device, at said user. The method comprising receiving, in the communication device, a local connectivity ID broadcasted from said second communication device, transmitting said received local connectivity ID from said communication device to an ID server, receiving, in the communication device, an owner ID from said ID server, wherein said owner ID is coupled to said second user, transmitting said received owner ID from said communication device to an public profile service server, receiving, in the communication device, owner information from said public profile service server, wherein said owner information is coupled to said second user and displaying said received owner information coupled to said second user on a display in said communication device.

Abstract: A portable electronic equipment comprises a first sensor to record media and at least one second sensor to capture data representing a physical condition of a user of the portable electronic equipment, the at least one second sensor being configured to capture the data in response to the first sensor recording the media. A processing device is interfaced with the at least one second sensor. The processing device is configured to retrieve the data captured by the at least one second sensor, to generate metadata for the recorded media based on the data, the metadata being indicative of the physical condition, and to cause the metadata to be stored in association with the recorded media.
