Patent number: 10891042Abstract: A user interface includes a touch-sensitive display and a display control unit for controlling the display. A method for controlling a household appliance using the graphical user interface includes the steps of: displaying a first graphical representation on the display, the first graphical representation including symbols, each symbol being associated with an appliance subunit of the household appliance; when a symbol is touched by a touching means, transmitting control signals from the control unit to the display to change the first graphical representation into a second graphical representation; displaying information regarding a change of a setting value of the appliance entity associated with the touched symbol when the touching means is dragged from a first position to a second position at the display; and changing the graphical representation at the display from the second graphical representation to a third graphical representation when lifting the touching means from the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Electrolux Appliances AktiebolagInventors: Jérôme Brasseur, Petter Karlsson

Patent number: 10568021Abstract: The method allows a user to define groups of entities that will be queried automatically for Presence information by his wireless information device. The user, once he has selected the group to be queried, need do no more than select at one time a ‘Pinging’ function using an on-screen dialog or other menu, which initiates the automatic querying. There is no need to manually query each member of the group for its Presence information.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Conversant Wireless Licensing S.a.r.l.Inventors: Petter Karlsson, Dominic Butler

Patent number: 9898169Abstract: On-screen help with contextual shortcut on an appliance The invention relates to an appliance (100) with a user interface (110) comprising a display (111) for showing indications about conditions in the appliance, and first (112, 114) and second (113) touch-sensitive input means. The second input means causes the interface to enter an assistance mode displaying which assistance items, which a processing means (121) extracts from a collection (122) of assistance information based on the content of the display when the assistance mode is invoked. In one embodiment, a data record ensures that the user returns to the same page after consulting the assistance mode. In another embodiment, the appliance is adapted to update the collection of assistance information on the basis of data received at an external communication interface. In another embodiment, the display reacts differently to short and long activations of a given touch-sensitive input means.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2011Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Electrolux Home Products Corporation N.V.Inventors: Jerome Brasseur, Petter Karlsson, Martin Knausenberger, Arnd Hofmann

Patent number: 8793617Abstract: Integrating multiple transport modes into a single communication stream on a computing device such as a mobile computing device. One or more recipients and one or more transport modes available for communication with the one or more recipients are provided to a user. An application program executing on the computing device receives a first message from the user to send to one or more selected recipients. The computing device transmits the received first message to the selected recipients via a first transport mode. Thereafter, the computing device receives a second message from one of the recipients via a second transport mode. The received second message is displayed to the user in the same communication stream by the application program. As an example, the user uses the application program to communicate with the recipients using text messaging, electronic mail message, and other transport modes.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jon Changzheng Xu, Christer Garbis, Stephanie Teng, Yili Wang, Karl Petter Karlsson

Patent number: 8391892Abstract: Presence information for a user is stored and made accessible using a conventional client server or peer to peer Presence model. The identity of any entity that requests or accesses this Presence information is however legged and then automatically provided to a wireless information device operated by the user. This enables the device to display the identity of the entity that requested or accessed the Presence information and hence (a) can prompt a user to contact the entity that sought his Presence information and (b) inhibits inappropriate accessing of Presence information.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Petter Karlsson, Dominic Butler
