  • Patent number: 9753562
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for connectivity. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include detecting, at a first device including a touch screen sensor and a first short-range transceiver, an object proximate to the touch screen sensor; generating a touch profile representative of the detected object; comparing the generated touch profile to one or more reference touch profiles representative of one or more reference objects corresponding to one or more devices to determine whether the detected object corresponds to at least a second device including a second short-range transceiver; and initiating, by the first device via the first short-range transceiver, a connection establishment to the second device including the second short-range transceiver, when the comparing determines the detected object matches a reference object representative of the second device. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9257098
    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to detect one or more particular user inputs from respective one or more positions, each position associated with a respective edge region of a display; and upon detection of the one or more particular user inputs, modify at least a portion of a foreground view on the display to create a peep-hole within the foreground view in the portion, the foreground view comprising first content data associated with a foreground application and the peep-hole comprising second content data. In this way, the peep-hole may be considered to replace parts of the foreground view with second content data. Corresponding methods and computer programs are also described.

  • Patent number: 9195332
    Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: determine a curvature of a deformable flexible user interface area of an electronic device, the deformable flexible user interface area being capable of detecting user input within a hover region; and based on the determined curvature, enable adjusting the hover input region of the user interface area to maintain a substantially flat planar hover input region across the deformable flexible user interface area.

  • Publication number: 20150199941
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for a 3D touch sensor. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include detecting, at a first device including a capacitive touch screen, a capacitive pattern associated with a second device; determining, at the first device based on the detected capacitive pattern, at least one of a type of the second device and an identity of the second device; initiating, by the first device, one or more operations based on the at least one of the determined type and the determined identity. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
