Patent number: 9337926Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described below that can provide and/or detect dynamic fiducial markers presented on a display of an apparatus. An apparatus providing the fiducial marker may initially provide for the presentation of the fiducial marker on a display, where the fiducial marker represents one or more properties of the apparatus, such as connectivity information for the apparatus. The apparatus may modify the presentation of the fiducial marker based on a change in one or more properties of the apparatus. An apparatus configured to detect dynamic fiducial markers provided on other device displays may also be configured to provide for the presentation of its own fiducial markers, and vice versa. Thus, in some cases, apparatuses may function as both a tangible user interface display and a tangible object (e.g., in a bi-directional communication scenario).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Raja Bose, Jonathan Lester, Jörg Brakensiek

Patent number: 9170607Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that can detect the presence of a tangible object without using computer vision. The apparatus receives a signal from a device proximate the apparatus, where the signal includes at least one of a proximity component and an orientation component, and also receives a touch input from the associated display. The apparatus then determines whether there is an association between the signal and the touch input based on the proximity component and/or the orientation component. If the signal and the touch input are associated, it is an indication that the device is disposed on the display, operations may be executed, such as to facilitate interaction between the apparatus and the device. As a result, any object capable of providing a signal having a proximity component or an orientation component can be detected (e.g., without the use of cameras or fiducial markers).Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Raja Bose, Keun-Young Park, Jörg Brakensiek, Jonathan Lester
