Abstract: A mobile electronic device having a flexible display device is disclosed. A request to retrieve information from a server over a wireless network is triggered based on flexing the flexible display device and other gestures.

Abstract: An image displayed on a multi-touch display device is associated with a tactile area that has an individually programmable tactile vibration pattern. The image may be automatically associated with a tactile area in association with a sensor detected rotation. Subsequent to the rotation, the image may be automatically associated with the individually programmable tactile vibration pattern.

Abstract: A multi-touch display layer may have a texturizing polymer layer. The texturizing polymer layer may elevate a surface portion of the texturizing polymer layer to a level to texturize information displayed on the multi-touch display layer. A gesture may be detected for the elevated surface portion.

Abstract: A multi-touch display layer of a mobile electronic device may be configured with a tactile area on a clear layer on the multi-touch display layer. The mobile electronic device may display a view of information based on applied force from a detected touch to the tactile area and a detected indentation level of the clear layer.

Abstract: A mobile device may utilize a rear facing camera and a depth sensor to capture a portion of a paper document or a book in an environment. The mobile device may identify the paper document or the book based on captured portions of the environment by two or more cameras and information received via a network adapter.

Abstract: A mobile computer may determine it is located in a vehicle or a conveyance based on a measured distance and satellite related positioning information.

Abstract: A mobile computer may determine it is located in a vehicle or a conveyance based on a measured distance, satellite related positioning information, and a touch input.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting paper documents, books, or other objects using one or more sensors on one or more computing devices is disclosed. The one or more computing devices communicate and share information such that a paper document, book, or other object is detected and identified. Once identified, information relevant to the paper document, book, or other object is retrieved. Such an apparatus and method is disclosed to help to create a smart or interactive paper environment.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, or system for providing specialized platforms and computing environments for vehicles/conveyances to coexist with end user devices is disclosed. Provided configurations and operations may apply to autonomous vehicles/conveyances. Vehicle/conveyance operating systems (OSs) that provide augmented reality, mixed reality, hybrid reality, virtual reality, or artificial intelligence (AI) are also provided. Also provided are new devices or processes for vehicles/conveyances that are useful for any mobile device, such as a mobile computer, smartphone, tablet, wearable computer, or the like.

Abstract: A mobile computer may receive a bluetooth signal from a wireless sensor to determine entrance to a building. The mobile computer may track, on a floor of the building, its indoor position by utilization of a combination of Wi-Fi information and accelerometer information. The indoor position may be tracked without global positioning system (GPS) information and may be associated with a probability related accuracy value.

Abstract: A mobile computer determines its initial indoor location in a building. The initial indoor location may be associated with probability related accuracy and selectively determined with satellite related positioning information. The mobile computer may track, by utilization of the initial indoor location, data, and estimated accelerometer based motion information, location on a floor of the building. The data may be a combination of Wi-Fi information and sensor information.

Abstract: Determining, with utilization of environmental sensor data, a floor in a building that the mobile computer is located is disclosed. The mobile computer may track indoor position on the floor with a combination of Wi-Fi related position data and an estimated distance traveled determined with accelerometer data. The mobile computer may also determine an area on the floor where the mobile computer is located.

Abstract: A mobile computer may use building information to determine its indoor location or position. The mobile computer determines the dimensions of a room in a building using range determination or a range finder in the mobile computer. The determined dimensions of the room may be compared to the building information to locate, position, or track the mobile computer in the building.
