Abstract: Methods and a preprocessing proxy server in a communication system can support any mode of web browser operation and enable a user selectively to bypass or enable the proxy server's translation of requested web content. For example, a translation selection decision can be made based on the requested content (e.g., active HTML) or user input. Selection is made between the original representation of a web page and a translated one, i.e., a representation that is adapted to one or more characteristics of the receiving device, such as a smaller screen, lower screen resolution, low communication bandwidth, etc. The decision on whether to translate is preferably made by a proxy server in the network, and the decision is based on one or more of the following criteria: requested-page content, user preferences, and statistics. An advantage of interposing a proxy server in this arrangement is that all web servers can remain unchanged.

Abstract: Teachings herein compose a digital image so that the image is perceptible on a viewing surface, such as a projection surface or a transparent screen. In doing so, the teachings advantageously recognize a digital image as consisting of one or more logical objects, like buttons of a user interface. Often, logical objects may be spatially arranged within the image and/or colored in different possible ways without substantially affecting the meaning conveyed by the image. Exploiting this, teachings herein evaluate light reflected from, or transmitted through, the viewing surface, and compose the digital image from one or more logical objects that have a spatial arrangement or coloration determined in dependence on that evaluation. The teachings might, for example, place a logical object within the image so that it will be displayed on a region of the surface which has high contrast with the object's colors and/or low color variance.

The method includes dynamically establishing a signalling channel on the server for the first web browser responsive to the first web browser browsing to the server. The method further includes creating a unique identifier for the signalling channel, temporarily storing the unique identifier at the server, and then sending the unique identifier to the first web browser. The first communication device correspondingly sends the unique identifier to the second web browser, such an in an email or text message. Then, responsive to the second web browser browsing to the server using the unique identifier, the method includes connecting the second web browser to the established signaling channel for anonymous communication between the first and second web browsers over that channel.

A method embodiment of this technique comprises the following steps performed by the host core at run-time of a host program: determining a non-executable code portion embedded in the host program; requesting executable code for a detected non-executable code portion from a remote network server; receiving the requested executable code from the network server; and providing the received executable code for execution by the processing element. The host program may conform to the OpenCL framework or any other framework that permits the embedding of non-executable code portions in an executable host program.

Abstract: A web browser client includes an aggregated web application runtime environment that controls access by a program fragment of an aggregated web application to a resource therein based upon the originating domain of the program fragment. To do so, the aggregated web application runtime environment appends an access attribute to the Document Object Model (DOM) node associated with the resource. This access attribute is associated with a plurality of access rights definitions where each access rights definition defines a set of access rights to the resource for program fragments originating from a domain with a specific access rights status. Accordingly, the aggregated web application runtime environment sets one or more access rights statuses of the originating domain of the program fragment, and thereafter, grants or denies the program fragment access to the resource based upon one or more sets of access rights defined for that program fragment.

Abstract: An electronic device (200,300) comprising an antenna arrangement with first and second antenna groups with first (122, 142) and a second (124, 144) radiation elements. The first and second radiation elements in each group have first and second respective polarizations and gain, and said groups also comprise a beam forming network (126, 146) connected to the radiation elements of the group and to an output selector (150). The beam forming network (126, 146) of each antenna group uses the radiation elements (122, 124; 142, 144) in the group to create a radiation pattern (127, 147) with a polarization which is a composite of the first and second polarizations of the elements in the group, so that a first (127) and a second (147) radiation pattern of composite polarization is created. The output selector (150) selects or combines signals received by the two antenna groups as its output.
