Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for discovering the presence of at least one source and target mobile device, automatically displaying a graphical interface to show the dataset from the source mobile device, and initiating the transmission of data between the mobile devices, is provided. The method further includes automatically receiving the dataset from the source mobile device, where the dataset is at least a representation of the data on the source device. In one embodiment, the representation is a subset of the data on the device and/or a description of the data on the mobile device. In another embodiment, a method for a navigation system to discover the presence of at least one mobile device, to automatically receive data from the mobile device, and to process the data with navigation operations, is provided.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for optimally viewing a three dimensional object in a three dimensional graphical space. Each object in the three dimensional space has associated an optimal vantage point. In one embodiment, the optimal vantage point allows a position and orientation for the object or for the vantage point to be calculated, where when the object or vantage point is moved to the position and orientation where the object may be optimally viewed.
