Abstract: A device may include a display and logic. The logic may be configured to receive a selection of a first control action associated with an application stored in the device, provide a number of choices associated with the first control action, and receive a word or a phrase to use as a voice command corresponding to the first control action, wherein the word or phrase is selected from the choices. The logic may also associate the word or phrase with the first control action, receive voice input from a user, identify the voice input as corresponding to the word or phrase, and perform the first control action based on the identified voice input.

Abstract: A device may include an instrument-enabled user interface. The device may also include a switch to at least partially enable operations associated with user input via the user interface. Triggering of the switch may be based on a relative positioning of the instrument.

Abstract: A device may include a display and logic. The logic may be configured to receive, from a user, a selection of a first control action associated with an application stored in the device, provide, via the display, a number of choices associated with the first control action, and receive, from the user, a word or a phrase to use as a voice command corresponding to the first control action, wherein the word or phrase is selected from the choices. The logic may also associate the word or phrase with the first control action, receive voice input from the user, identify the voice input as corresponding to the word or phrase, and perform the first control action based on the identified voice input.

Abstract: A device may include an image capture device and logic. The logic may be configured to receive voice input from a user and identify the voice input. The logic may further be configured to perform a control action associated with the image capturing device based on the identified voice input.

Abstract: A method and computer program product are described herein for remotely controlling a first image capturing unit in a portable electronic device as well as to such a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may include a first and a second image capturing unit. The device detects and tracks an object via the second capturing unit and detects changes in an area of the object. These changes are then used for controlling the first image capturing unit remotely. When the control involves capturing of images an improved image quality can be obtained. Also the time it takes to capture an image is reduced.

Abstract: A device allows a user to select an arbitrary portion of a scene being previewed for picture taking. In one implementation, the device includes a camera; a display to preview a scene associated with the camera; an interface configured to allow a user of the device to select a portion of the scene; and autofocus logic to adjust the focus of the camera based on the selected portion of the scene.
