Patent number: 9800711Abstract: A method, electronic device, and device-readable medium are provided for implementing quick actions or additional actions in a unified inbox context. A number of communication event listings are displayed in either a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, at least one user interface element for invoking a first operation is displayed for each communication event listing. In the second mode, at least one other user interface element for invoking a further operation is included in the communication event listing in addition to a user interface element for invoking the first operation. The user can selectively invoke the second mode from the first mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: David Andrew Brown, Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult, Umesh Miglani

Patent number: 9639172Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamically varying backlighting for mechanical keys. By one approach at least some of the individual mechanical keys each includes a capacitively-sensitive keycap. A plurality of light emitters are disposed behind the physical keyboard and are configured to provide backlighting for the individual mechanical keys. A control circuit operably couples to the plurality of light emitters and controls the plurality of light emitters to selectively provide dynamically-varied backlighting for at least some of the individual mechanical keys. By one approach the dynamically-varied backlighting comprises, at least in part, instructions regarding available touch-based gestures (for example, gestures that the user can employ in conjunction with the capacitively-sensitive keycaps). Examples of touch-based gestures include, but are not limited to, swipe-based gestures and tap-based gestures. By one approach the aforementioned instructions include non-alphabetic visually-symbolic instructions.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Christofer Bengt Thure Leyon, Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult

Patent number: 9201566Abstract: A portable electronic device, computer program product, and method of presenting image information on a display with combined cropping and rotation selection and auto-resizing of cropped portion of the displayed image. A processor accepts a selection of a portion of a displayed image in a selection rectangle frame over the displayed image, based on detecting a first gesture. The processor determines a request for rotation of the displayed selection rectangle frame based on detecting a second gesture. The processor then rotates the selection rectangle frame on the displayed image and resizes the selection rectangle frame while maintaining it within the outer boundaries of the displayed image.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult, Nils Johan Petter Montan, Rikard Samvik

Patent number: 8982141Abstract: There is disclosed apparatus and a computer implemented method for processing a digital image. The method comprises maintaining ordered cached digital images arranged in a predetermined order. The ordered cached digital images comprise a base digital image and a subsequent plurality of modified cached digital images. Each modified cached digital image is associated with an image modification category. Each subsequent modified cached digital image is generated by performing image modification operations relating to its respective image modification category on the immediately preceding cached image in accordance with the predetermined order.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult, Nils Johan Petter Montan, Nils Jonas Leif Eriksson

Patent number: 8671361Abstract: A portable electronic device, computer program product, and method of presenting image information on a display with combined cropping and rotation selection and auto-resizing of cropped portion of the displayed image. A processor accepts a selection of a portion of a displayed image by creating and displaying a selection rectangle frame over the displayed image based on detecting a first user gesture in connection with the displayed image. The processor determines a user request for rotation of the displayed selection rectangle frame based on detecting a second user gesture. The processor then rotates the selection rectangle frame on the displayed image and resizes the selection rectangle frame while maintaining it within the outer boundaries of the displayed image and while contemporaneously expanding the selection rectangle frame up to an original size of the selection rectangle frame created and displayed over the displayed image.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2012Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult, Nils Johan Petter Montan, Hans Rikard Samvik

Publication number: 20130229436Abstract: The present disclosure provides for dynamic application of image filters in picture editor applications. A selected filter is dynamically applied to a portion of an image displayed on a screen as a drag handle is moved across the image, the portion of the image to which the selected filter is applied being changeable in size with motion of handle across the image and determined by a position of the handle on the screen. Changes to the portion of the image caused by application of the selected filter are dynamically displayed as the handle is moved across the image displayed on the screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Maria Christina Nathalie Freyhult, Arun Kumar
