Abstract: A method for remote control wherein a first mobile device is remotely controls a second mobile device connected to the first mobile device via an audio/data transmission network. The method includes receiving a request from an user of the first mobile device on the first mobile device, performing audio transmission from the first mobile device to the second mobile device, and transmitting data for a displayed screen from the first device to the second device via the data transmission network. The received data for the displayed screen is displayed on the second mobile device, operation content is received from an user operating the displayed screen on the second device, and the operation content is transmitted from the second device to the first device via the data transmission network, so that a terminal feature on the first device is operable based on the operation content received from the second device.

Abstract: A mobile device and a display control method can be provided having good operability and enabling selection of a screen display for the mobile device from a mode displaying a plurality of kinds of screens to suit a user's preferences. An aspect of the mobile device includes a touch screen, a display, and a menu screen generator. The touch screen receives input from a user. The display displays a menu screen and is provided such that the touch screen is overlaid on the display. The menu screen generator generates the menu screen displayed on the display. The menu screen can be selected from a plurality of user interfaces.

Abstract: A mobile device has an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that senses linear and rotational movement, a touch screen including (i) a touch-sensitive surface and (ii) a 3D sensing unit, and a state change determination module that determines state changes from a combination of (i) an output of the IMU and (ii) the 3D sensing unit sensing the hovering object. The mobile device may include a pan/zoom module. A mobile device may include a natural language processing (NLP) module that predicts a next key entry based on xy positions of keys so far touched, xy trajectory of the hovering object and NLP statistical modeling. A graphical user interface (GUI) visually highlights a predicted next key and presents a set of predicted words arranged around the current key above which the object is hovering as selectable buttons to enable entry of a complete word from the set of predicted words.

Abstract: The vehicular notification and control apparatus receives user input via a multimodal control system, optionally including touch-responsive control and non-contact gestural and speech control. A processor-controlled display provides visual notifications of notifications and tasks according to a dynamically prioritized queue which takes into account environmental conditions and driving context and available driver attention. The display is filtered to present only valid notifications and tasks for the current available driver attention level. Driver attention is determined using multiple, diverse sensors integrated through a sensor fusion mechanism.

Abstract: An infotainment system is provided for delivering content to multiple occupants of a vehicle. The infotainment system includes: an occupant detector configured to receive characteristic data for occupants of the vehicle and generate a profile for each occupant of the vehicle; a recommendation engine that analyzes the profiles of the vehicle occupants; and a content delivery engine that deliver content to one or more of the vehicle occupants in accordance with the analysis of the profiles of the vehicle occupants.

Abstract: A first device pairs with a second device via local communication and then transfers a server-implemented application session from the first device to the second device by saving as session data the current state of the first application, and the state of the application-related data being consumed. This session data is then transferred to the second device, which then runs a second application based on the state supplied by the session data. One or both of the devices communicates a session transfer request to the server, causing the server to re-route application-related data to the second device to be consumed by the second application at the state where consumption by the first application was transferred.
