Abstract: A portable electronic equipment comprises a gaze tracking device configured to track an eye gaze direction of a user in a time interval. The portable electronic equipment comprises a processing device coupled to the gaze tracking device and configured to generate heat map data for the eye gaze direction, generate saliency map data for a field of view of the user, and identify at least one point of interest in the field of view based on both the heat map data and the saliency map data.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display to output a video, a user interface for controlling a navigation in the video along a time axis, and a processing device. The processing device is configured, when operating in an operating mode in which an object shown in a plurality of frames of the video is selected by a user input, to determine a magnitude of a speed vector of the object, and to apply a time scaling factor which depends on the determined magnitude of the speed vector of the object to the navigation along the time axis.

Abstract: One or more devices may receive, from a media presentation device worn by a user, sensory data comprising at least information describing orientation of the media presentation device. The one or more devices may also determine an approximate direction of a gaze of the user in a three dimensional audio space based on the information describing the orientation of the media presentation device, identify a sound source at which the user gazes based on the approximate direction of the gaze of the user in the three dimensional audio space, obtain audio data associated with the sound source based on an identity of the identified sound source, determine an action to perform on the audio data associated with the sound source, and perform the determined action.

Abstract: A digital photograph is processed by receiving a communication related to the digital photograph from an application external to an image storage device that stores the digital photograph. Parameters related to the application are processed. The digital photograph is changed based on the parameters related to the application. Related methods, devices, and/or computer program products are described.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing a communication session between at least two parties that are located in a common context (e.g., location) without sufficient knowledge to establish a communication session in a conventional manner. In one embodiment, a request to establish a communication session between two devices is received at a remote server. The request includes user information and location information associated with the first device and the request includes data corresponding to a physical feature of the user of the second device. The request is processed to obtain network information related to the second device, by searching a plurality of user profilers stored on the server based on the received location information and the data corresponding to the physical feature of the associated user of the second portable communication. If a suitable user profile is found, a communication session is established between the devices.

Abstract: A portable electronic equipment comprises a first sensor to record media and at least one second sensor to capture data representing a physical condition of a user of the portable electronic equipment, the at least one second sensor being configured to capture the data in response to the first sensor recording the media. A processing device is interfaced with the at least one second sensor. The processing device is configured to retrieve the data captured by the at least one second sensor, to generate metadata for the recorded media based on the data, the metadata being indicative of the physical condition, and to cause the metadata to be stored in association with the recorded media.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing audio for a viewer watching digital video with sound, such as a movie or video game. The method and system determine where in the scene (40) the viewer's attention is focused, correlate the viewer's focal region with one of a plurality of regions (42a-d) of the video scene (40), preferably associated with a depth map, and enhance the sound corresponding to the focal region of the scene (40) as compared to the sound corresponding to the non-focal regions of the scene (40).

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.

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.

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.
