Abstract: An apparatus for determining media item privacy settings may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive media item capture data associated with a media item. The media item capture data may include at least a capture location. The processor may also be configured to identify a privacy context that corresponds to the media item capture data. In this regard, the capture location of the media item capture data may be within a geographic zone of the privacy context. The processor may be further configured to determine a privacy setting for the media item based on the corresponding privacy context, and, in some embodiments, control access to the media item in accordance with the determined privacy setting. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in proximity networking activity. For example, nodes and/or other computers may record, receive, and/or provide information regarding proximity networking activity. As another example, nodes and/or other computers may act to inform their users of proximity networking activity instances.

Abstract: This invention describes a method for changing a keypad layout with keys (e.g., graphics and text) drawn on a display of an electronic device (e.g., wireless portable device, a mobile communication device or a mobile phone) and actuating said keys by a user of the electronic device using a transparent or translucent sensor-screen placed over said keys which are visible by the user. The transparent or translucent sensor-screen can be positioned partially or completely over the display. This invention enables different application/feature specific keypad configurations (shape, size, orientation, number of keys) for mobile devices.

Abstract: It is presented a method for a portable apparatus including: determining a current context; determining a remote context; receiving current data, associated with the current context of the apparatus; receiving remote data associated with the remote context; evaluating whether there is a match between the current data and the remote data; and when the current data and the remote data is considered a match, alerting the user. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also presented.

Abstract: A method includes initiating a message composition operation with a device; a user selecting a media as a message content; and the device automatically selecting at least one message recipient based at least in part on a type of media selected by the user.

Abstract: A function for creating a new file by editing and synthesizing one or more data files such as pictures, movies, and music, is very promising function and provides a new possibility to the portable electronic devices. However, in the existing technology, the user may be bothered with selecting items for a new data file from a lot of items stored in the portable electronic device. In this patent application, an invention that may be used for easy-selection of items in such cases will be disclosed.

Abstract: A method and associated device, system, and computer program product for performing metadata-based searches of data files using particularly but not necessarily a small display and a limited user interface. In the method a user of the device selects at least one data item, which is stored in the memory of the device. The device calculates a distance between said selected data item and at least one data item of said plurality of data items, which distance is relative to the similarity of the meta-data between the selected data item and said plurality of data items. Finally the device then provides a visual symbol of said selected data item and the most similar data items of said plurality of data items on the display of the device.

Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, a display and a controller that is coupled to the memory. The controller is responsive to the application software and to at least a sub-set of the stored data for visualizing on the display, in a graphical form, the use of the mobile station over a period of time. The controller preferably constructs a temporally-based visualization of the use of the mobile station, such as a timeline visualization of the use of the mobile station. The controller may further be responsive to the application software and to at least the sub-set of the stored data for automatically deriving a content of a user's web log (blog). A method is also disclosed to operate a mobile terminal having a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, and that further has a display and a controller coupled to the memory.
