Abstract: A memory efficient method and electronic device for counting frequencies of various events. The structure for storing frequency data comprises primary (204) and secondary (206) storages which contain frequency data (208, 210, 214) in different levels of detail. The primary storage (204) is a detailed storage comprising both event type and count information units in a fully restorable form. The secondary storage (206) is targeted for more infrequent events with lower level of detail and constructed as an array of count values addressed by a hash function using event type as an input. Another option is to derive a shortened ID from the event type by utilizing a hash function and exploit the ID as an addressing key for the corresponding count. Events are moved between primary (204) and secondary (206) storages depending on the detected event type frequencies. The invention is utilized in a recommendation engine for grading and sorting bookmarks stored in browsers for accessing the Internet.

Abstract: A method, a terminal implementing the method and a software product for loading at least one data element into a wireless terminal including data on the web pages browsed by the user stored in a definition file. The definition file includes at least the address of one web page. The terminal includes a browser functionality that allows the user to browse web pages on his/her terminal. The terminal detects an appropriate data transmission connection that can be established, whereupon the appropriate data transmission connection is established to the web page, from where at least one data element is stored into the memory of the terminal.

Abstract: Displaying network content searches on mobile devices involves obtaining results of a network content request via a mobile device. A geolocation of at least one object associated with the results of the network content request is also obtained. A scene is viewed in a camera view of the mobile device. A virtual location is determined in the camera view. The virtual location represents the actual location of the object relative to the scene contained in the camera view. A graphic representing the object is then displayed at the virtual location in the camera view.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a device comprising: imaging an object in a viewfinder of a device; obtaining a device location from a location mechanism and a device orientation from an orientation mechanism; and using the obtained device location and device orientation to calibrate one or more of the location mechanism and the orientation mechanism such that a difference between an expected location of the object in the viewfinder and a location of the object in the viewfinder is reduced.

Abstract: Real time performance comparison involves identifying predefined route data corresponding to a route. Measured locations are detected while a user traverses the route carrying a mobile device. The measured locations are sent via a network synchronously with the detection of the respective measured locations. Comparative data points are derived based on the predefined route data and the measured locations in response to receiving the measured locations. The comparative data points are sent, via the network, in response to measured locations. The comparative data points allow the user to measure relative performance during the route traversal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal apparatus, comprising: a display, a memory, and a user interface for receiving a sample string including one or several symbols. In order to achieve a user-friendly solution for selecting a symbol string the terminal apparatus is configured to: retrieve, from said memory symbol strings with a first part that matches with a sample string and to display the retrieved symbol strings on said display such that if the group of symbol strings includes an identical first part, then at least for these symbol strings only the first part is displayed and only once, display on said display, in response to a user selection via said user interface, information relating to those retrieved symbol strings which have an identical first part with the user selected symbol string, and receive, via said user interface, a second user selection identifying a selected symbol string.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for facilitating user selection of communication recipients via communication devices. Communication attributes of previous communication events involving the communication device are monitored. Selection criteria are established based on the monitored communication attributes. One or more adaptive recipient history lists are maintained, which correspond to contacts that are affiliated with the communication events satisfying the selection criteria. At least one of the adaptive recipient history lists are presented to the user via the communication device, thereby allowing the user to select the intended recipient via more relevant, focused short lists of likely recipients.

Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for example, in distance functionality. Distances might, for instance, be ascertained. One or more heights, one or more optical values, information corresponding to orientation, and/or one or more values corresponding to captured images might, for example, be employed. Ascertained distances might, for example, be updated. An area captured by a device of a first user might, for instance, be recognized as captured by a device of a second user. Such recognition might, for example involve the use of one or more distances between the two users.
