Abstract: An electrically erasable writing surface is provided. The writing surface includes a bistable display layer that responds to electrical and mechanical inputs. A touch pad is located above or below the display layer. The writing surface facilitates writing complex characters and increases accuracy by displaying a user input created by a passive stylus.

Abstract: The invention is based on a method for controlling a flash unit in connection with a digital image sensor without a mechanical shutter, wherein the exposure of the image sensor is performed in sub-areas, such as pixel rows or columns, or in another order, by using a rolling electronic shutter or the like. Thus, the exposure of said sub-areas of the image sensor takes place at least partly at different times. According to the invention, during the time of exposure of one image, i.e. substantially all the sub-areas of the image sensor, several discrete, successive flashes of the flash unit are used to achieve even exposure of the image area, which the flashes are timed in such a way that each single flash is triggered at a point of time which is common to the integration or exposure time of as many successive sub-areas of the image sensor as possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to providing personalized services for mobile users. Personalized services can be provided to users, for example, by delivering them using mobile communications means or other delivery methods, such as printed magazines. Personal content is acquired by and stored on a mobile terminal. At least one remote repository is assigned for the use of each such terminal. Selected content can then be transferred from the mobile terminal to a remote data repository through a telecommunications system. Thereby, a transfer is preferably initiated when at least one predetermined criterion is fulfilled. The transferred personal content is subsequently stored in the remote data repository. Data is extracted from the personal content, and the personal content is associated with the extracted data. The latter step can be executed on the terminal and/or on the remote server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for delivering the archived personal content of mobile users and/or material selected on the basis of the archived personal content. At least one remote data repository is connected to the telecommunications system, storing therein information including personal content including data objects and/or information extracted from the objects. At least one of the repositories is assigned for each mobile terminal. Further, external data is stored somewhere in the network. Items of data are retrieved from the remote data repository, the items including an object and/or information extracted from an object. Then at least one predetermined criterion is read, the criterion defining a relationship between the retrieved data and the external data. If the relationship fulfills a predetermined condition, data to be delivered to the mobile terminal is selected and then delivered to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the access to and the creation of content in the context of a mobile communications system and more specifically to archiving personal content of mobile users and for providing this content to mobile users in the most flexible and personalized ways. The core of the invention is how personal content acquired by the user may be further enhanced and stored in a safe box-like remote repository for future purposes. At least one remote data repository is assigned for the use of mobile terminals. Personal content is acquired and stored in the mobile terminal. Selected personal content is then transferred between the storage means and the remote data repository through the telecommunications system, the means to include predetermined criteria, the fulfillment of which initiates the transfer.
