Abstract: A rendering device dynamically varies how audio and visual information is rendered by a rendering device responsive to changes in distance between the rendering device and a mobile device carried by a user. As the user moves about, the distance between the rendering device and the mobile device carried by the user will vary. As the distance between the mobile device and the rendering device changes, the rendering system can dynamically adapt how the audio and visual information is rendered. For example, the rendering device can increase or decrease the volume of an audio output, depending on changes in the distance. Also, the rendering device can change how visual information is rendered on a display responsive to changes in distance. In some embodiments, when the distance between the mobile device and rendering device exceeds a predetermined distance, the audio and/or visual information may be sent to the mobile device.

Abstract: A method for generating content data for a video file (200) is provided. The video file (200) comprises a video sequence and the content data (201) for characterizing the video sequence. According to the method, at least one face containing image (204, 205, 207, 209, 212) is determined by scanning at least a part of the video sequence for face containing images. Each face containing image contains at least one representation of a face. Based on the determined face containing image a picture containing the face is generated and assigned to the content data (201) of the video file (200).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for providing access to a device, the method comprising: receiving via a touch surface information, at least partly comprising a graphical code, said code comprising at least two parts, a first part relating to a first physical value on said touch surface and a second part relating to a second physical value on said touch surface, and generating a graphical code based on said first and second physical values, said graphical code having at least one portion deviating from a plane extension of said touch surface.

Abstract: A system and method for generation of video relevant to the subject of a contact record in a mobile device phonebook or contacts list. The method may include aggregating a plurality of data files originating from at least one data source, where at least some of the data bears a relationship to the subject of the contact record. A predefined template of instructions is provided for incorporation of data into the video, and the data is merged into a video according to the predefined template. Aggregating the plurality of data files may include searching data files accessed from a plurality of data sources using predetermined searching criteria, and retrieving the data files. Data sources may include any or all of a social media network, a social graph, a non-username, non-password protected website, and a datastore local to the mobile device. The video may be stored or rendered in real-time.

Abstract: For selecting an orientation of an image (50) shown by a display (12) of a handheld device (10), an output signal of a touch sensitive sensor (20A, 20B, 20C, 20D) is received. The orientation of the image (50) is selected depending on the output signal of the touch sensitive sensors (20A, 20B, 20C, 20D). The image (50) is then shown on the display (12) with the selected orientation.

Abstract: A device may include a network interface through which the device communicates with a media device in a local network. The device may include a processor to detect whether the device receives a call, determine whether the device is within a predetermined range of the media device based on communication between the device and the media device, and send a message to the media device via the network interface to request the media device to reduce an audio output of the media device when the device is within the predetermined range of the media device and when the device has received the call.

Abstract: An electronic device switches between an electronic book reading mode and an audio book playback mode in a manner that is convenient and intuitive to the user. The electronic device stores an electronic work that contains a text version and an audio version of written material. The position in an active one of the text version or the audio version is matched against a corresponding position in the other one of the text version or the audio version. The user may indicate to the electronic device to switch modes. In that case, if the text version was active, playback of the audio version may commence from a point at which the user stopped reading the text version. Similarly, if the audio version was active, the text version may be displayed at the point where playback stopped.
