  • Publication number: 20120026191
    Abstract: A method for displaying augmentation information in an augmented reality system (100) is provided. According to the method a reality information is detected with an imaging device (102) and a human face (200) is automatically detected in the reality information. Depending on the detected human face (200) a predetermined mapping is automatically assigned to the reality information. The mapping comprises a plurality of mapping areas (1-17) in which augmentation information can be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20120019557
    Abstract: A device may obtain location information of an AR display device and obtain identifiers associated with objects that are within a field of view of the AR display device based on the location information. In addition, the device may obtain, for each of the objects, AR information based on the identifiers and determine, for each of the objects, a distance of the object from the AR display device. Furthermore, the device may generate, for each of the objects, images of the AR information at a virtual distance from the AR display device, the virtual distance corresponding to the determined distance. The device may display the generated images at the AR display device.

  • Patent number: 8099455
    Abstract: Methods of operating a portable electronic device including a display screen, a user interface, a controller, a memory and a transceiver are provided. The methods include executing a resource on the controller, and receiving a snapshot command through the user interface. In response to the snapshot command, a network address of a remote server from which the resource was downloaded is obtained, an audiovisual signal representative of the resource is generated, and the audiovisual signal and the network address are stored in a file. The file can be forwarded using the transceiver to a remote terminal, which can access the resource from the network address.

  • Publication number: 20100136950
    Abstract: A communication terminal includes a transceiver and a controller. The transceiver receives electronic messages from another communication terminal. The controller responds to receipt of each of the messages by examining content of the message according to at least one defined rule and to control sound characteristics of an alert tune that is played through a speaker responsive to the examined message content. The controller may attempt to match text from the message to a stored list of words and/or phrases, and to control the sound characteristics of the alert tune in response to an outcome of the matching.

  • Patent number: 7712126
    Abstract: Methods and devices provide dynamic security management in an apparatus, such as a mobile telephone terminal. The apparatus includes a platform for running an application; a security manager for handling access of the application to functions existing in the apparatus; an application interface (API) between the platform and the application; a set of access permissions stored in the apparatus and used by the security manager for controlling access of the application to functions through the application interface. Methods can include downloading into the apparatus an object containing access permissions applicable to at least one function; verifying the object; and installing the access permissions together with the existing permissions.
