  • Patent number: 10003730
    Abstract: Methods and electronic devices for sharing a camera feature are described. In one aspect, the present disclosure describes a method. The method is performed by a first electronic device which has a camera. The method includes: establishing wireless communications between the first electronic device and a second electronic device using a short range communication module of the first electronic device; and entering a camera-feature-sharing mode in which a camera-related feature of the second electronic device is accessible to the first electronic device using the short range communication module and in which a camera-related feature of the first electronic device is accessible to the second electronic device using the short range communication module.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130271487
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer drawing system having reduced position lag. A sequence of first and second position coordinates of a drawing tool position is received and, from them, a future position of the drawing tool of the drawing tool is predicted. An image frame is produced dependent upon the predicted position of the drawing tool and is output for rendering on a display screen. Similarly, the image frame may be dependent upon a predicted trajectory of the drawing tool.

  • Publication number: 20130222329
    Abstract: A method, device and computer readable memory for interaction with a graphical user interface of a computing device associated with a touch-sensitive input device is provided. Proximity information of an object performing a gesture in relation to the graphical user information is used in predicting one or more possible gesture events that may occur with the touch-sensitive input device. The predicted gesture events are used to initiate or pre-cache possible gesture events that would occur with the graphical user interface to provide a more responsive graphical user interface when the gesture event does occur.
