  • Patent number: 8477250
    Abstract: A rollable circular display device (10) is disclosed, comprising, in one embodiment, a ring-shaped display (6) expandable in two dimensions between a stored configuration and an expanded configuration and a body for winding the ring-shaped display in the stored configuration. In another embodiment, the rollable circular display device (10) comprises a housing (20), a circular display (6) expandable in two dimensions between a stored configuration in which the circular display (6) is stored within the housing (20) and an expanded configuration in which the circular display is fully viewable, and an inner cone, being arranged co-axially within the housing (20) and rotatable within the housing, wherein the circular display (6) is wound around the inner cone in the stored configuration.

  • Patent number: 8020327
    Abstract: A rollable display (101) is wearable on a sleeve (103). The display (101) is part of a wrist-based device with a “U” shape. A part of the device is on top of the sleeve (103). The display (101) can be rolled out for use as needed. The device itself may be flexible or bendable i.e. have a x-rigid, U-shape or may allow the “U” shape to be folded out, for example by a hinge or sequence of connected segments that can be rotated freely, but which keep their position after being moved. The display (101) may be rolled out from under the sleeve (103) and then over the sleeve (103) along a predefined curve by means of a guiding mechanism. The device is easy to use, allows the use of large displays that may always be visible and allows freedom in the display design with respect to the direction in which the flexible display (101) is rolled out.

  • Publication number: 20090067123
    Abstract: A flexible display has barrier or other protective layers which are attached to the display only along a seam, rather than being attached to a surface of the display. The protective layers form an envelope or bag, which may have different properties on each side of the display surface and may be filled with an inert gas or inert and optically compensating liquid. The durability and lifetime of the display are increased.

  • Publication number: 20080275700
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of and a system for modifying an input message (IM) containing audio content, which method comprises the steps of converting the audio content (A) of the input message (IM) into elements of a text representation (TR), segmenting the audio content (A) of the input message (IM) into constituent phonetic elements (As), correlating to the text representation (TR), rendering the text representation (TR) in a form suitable for editing the text representation (TR) in accordance with editing input, and altering the correlating phonetic elements (As) of the audio content (A) in accordance with the edited text representation (TR?) so as to give a modified audio content (A?) of an output message (OM).

  • Publication number: 20030037303
    Abstract: The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a recommended World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification to exchange structured data over the Internet. XML is a simplified subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). To accommodate human-computer interaction, technologies are needed to provide proper visualization and manipulation of XML documents. There is provided a method and a system that enables editing of a visualized document and enables inverting this visualized document into its original format.

  • Publication number: 20030028849
    Abstract: A method of displaying a document e.g. an XML document on a client computer the document comprising data as elements enclosed by tags. The method comprises the steps of retrieving a document from a document server, searching the document for code attribute information, retrieving program code from a code server and displaying the data in the retrieved document by means of the retrieved program code. The method further comprises the steps of retrieving program code from the client computer if the program code is present on the client computer, displaying data of the retrieved document in a default way if the program code could not be retrieved, and deciding whether the retrieved program code should be a plug-in to the method of displaying a document on a client computer. A system for displaying a document on a client computer with a document server with documents and a code server with program code.
