Abstract: A method comprising receiving information indicative of a first skin resistance measurement indicative of absence of skin contact between a wear surface electrode sensor and a non-wear surface electrode sensor, receiving information indicative of a second skin resistance measurement indicative of skin contact between the wear surface electrode sensor and the non-wear surface electrode sensor, and determining a user input based, at least in part, on the second skin resistance measurement is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to forming a prediction using an experience matrix, a matrix based on sparse vectors such as random index vectors. At least a part of a first experience matrix and at least a part of at least a second experience matrix are caused to be combined (1410) to obtain a combined experience matrix. The experience matrices comprise sparse vectors or essentially similar vectors in nature, and said experience matrices comprise information of at least one system, for example contexts of a system. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of the combined experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output (1420), and a system is controlled (1430) in response to said prediction output.

Abstract: The invention relates to determining a context of a system so that the system can be controlled or the context information be used in the system. The context of a system is described with tags or words that characterize e.g. the state of the system, the surroundings of the system and the state of the user. These tags are determined at multiple time instances. The tags are collected over a first time span and a second time span, and the two (or more) sets of tags are used to determine the context of the system. If the determination using the two sets gives a different result, that is, there is a large distance between the two derived contexts, it is determined that a change in context has occurred. Detecting the change in context can be used to control the system, e.g. by changing the applications presented to the user on the user interface, or by changing the state and/or priority of applications.

Abstract: An apparatus including an air-conduction transducer and a bone conduction transducer. The air-conduction transducer is configured to convert a first frequency band component of an electrical audio signal into acoustic energy to be delivered to an ear canal of a user. The bone conduction transducer is configured to convert a second, at least partially different, frequency band component of the electrical audio signal into mechanical energy to be delivered to a skull of the user. The apparatus is configured to deliver both forms of the energies to the user at a substantially same time to provide a combined audio delivery result to the user.

Abstract: Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation.

Abstract: In an embodiment an apparatus includes a graphical display panel and a loudspeaker. The panel has a display layer for displaying images and defines a plurality of apertures penetrating through at least the display layer. The loudspeaker includes a diaphragm arranged substantially parallel to the display layer. Sound from the loudspeaker diaphragm is directed outside a host device through the apertures. The speaker may be an electret or a piezo-electric speaker for thinness. There may be apertures on an opposed side of the host device housing to achieve a dipole pattern which is directed and gives acoustic privacy to the user, or a rear acoustic cavity for a monopole pattern which more broadly disperses the sound. One illustrated embodiment is selectable between monopole and dipole. Size and total area of the holes determines acoustic resistance and so a method is described to determine those from physical parameters of the display panel.

Abstract: An apparatus may include a messaging module configured to suggest a message segment in order to draft a message. A contextual characteristic determiner may be used to determine contextual characteristics of the apparatus, the recipient of a call, and/or the user of the apparatus and thereby the messaging module may suggest the message segment based on the contextual characteristics. The contextual characteristics may include user emotions, which may be recognized by an emotion recognizer. Message segments may also be based on prior messaging history. Thereby, the apparatus may suggest message segments in order to more easily draft messages when, for example, initiating or responding to attempted voice communications. Further, the apparatus may include a reminder scheduler which is configured to schedule a reminder to respond to an attempted voice communication.

Abstract: A free hand gesture control user interface is described. Components of the interface system may include a stereo vision camera, or multiple cameras, a control unit, a projector and a projecting surface. In an automotive application, the projecting surface may be the windscreen in the vehicle or a mounted screen. The camera together with software modules in the control unit define a gesture acceptance border and a gesture acceptance space within which hand gestures may be imaged, defined for various control actions, and executed. The hand images are analyzed in slices of the gesture acceptance space to determine hand orientation (open or closed) and/or motion.
