  • Patent number: 7720436
    Abstract: Displaying network content searches on mobile devices involves obtaining results of a network content request via a mobile device. A geolocation of at least one object associated with the results of the network content request is also obtained. A scene is viewed in a camera view of the mobile device. A virtual location is determined in the camera view. The virtual location represents the actual location of the object relative to the scene contained in the camera view. A graphic representing the object is then displayed at the virtual location in the camera view.

  • Publication number: 20090119614
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing hierarchical navigation with respect to content items of a media collection may include a processing element. The processing element may be configured to provide a hierarchical organization of content items in which each of the content items is organized according to type and, within each type, the content items are further organized according to categories. Each of the categories may represent a different basis upon which to organize the content items. The processing element may be further configured to enable a user to view content items within a particular category using a first scrolling function oriented with respect to a first axis, and enable the user to switch categories using a second scrolling function oriented with respect to a second axis.

  • Publication number: 20080275960
    Abstract: Content items may be transmitted and synchronized between a receiving device and a content hosting service (e.g., a file sharing service) using a coordinating device. The coordinating device may be in and/or connected to a local network of the local device and may facilitate communications between the local device and the remote service. Alternatively, the coordinating device may be remotely connected to the local device. The coordinating device may monitor for new content information on either the local device or the remote service (or both) and propagate new or updated content as appropriate. The coordinating device may further perform functions such as reformatting content, maintaining a database of content identifiers and synchronizing metadata associated with content items.

  • Publication number: 20080154905
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing content selection in a network environment may include a processing element, a querying element and a selection element. The processing element may be configured to receive an instruction for performance of a function with respect to a particular file. The querying element may be configured to examine file association data associated with the particular file to determine whether one or more related files, each of which is a version of the particular file, exist at another location in a network. The selection element may be configured to select one of the one or more related files as a selected file. The processing element may be in communication with the querying and selection elements and may be further configured to instruct performance of the function with respect to the selected file.

  • Publication number: 20080082254
    Abstract: Augmenting data sensed using a mobile device involves detecting, via a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor, location data along a route while a user traverses the route. Predefined route data is provided that accurately reflects the locations of the route. The detected location data is augmented using the predefined route data via a mobile terminal capable of interfacing with the GPS sensor. A record of the traversal is created using the augmented location data.

  • Patent number: 7313574
    Abstract: The present invention relates to managing media items in data processing terminals. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method, a device and a computer program product for arranging, viewing and querying media items organized in hierarchical multidimensional clusters in mobile terminals. Media items are arranged by clustering with multiple dimensions, wherein they are queried by defining the first entry for one dimension, wherein the next entry is based on the other dimension from the media items fulfilling the first entry.
