Abstract: A method for focus management in a software application, wherein at least a subset of Node objects of said software application forms a hierarchy of Node objects and wherein each Node object of said hierarchy of Node objects of said software application comprises: a first routine that when returning true denotes that the Node object is a focused one; and a second routine that when returning true denotes that the Node object is a focused, or at least one of its descendants is a focused; a routine for handling an incoming event; the method comprising the steps of: providing, for each Node object of said hierarchy of Node objects a third routine, that when returning true denotes that the Node object and all descendants of the Node object, excluding these Node objects for which the third routine returns true, forms a single monofocus area having a single focus root.

Abstract: A method for determining an index of an object in a sequence of objects, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining a unique identifier value of a given object O; obtaining a query definition Q of a sequence, the Q query including an order definition according to a parameter of the O object; constructing a Q? query based on the Q query, the Q? query being different from the Q query by having a reversed ordering of results, with respect to the Q query, and providing results having said parameter value of objects preceding or matching the parameter value of the object O in the sequence of objects in the Q query result set; executing the Q? query by a query execution engine; checking whether the object O is present as the first item in Q? result set and in case it is, obtaining the index of the O object in Q sequence by retrieving objects count of the Q? result set.

Abstract: A method for rendering a stereoscopic view, the method comprising the steps of defining a stereoscopic scene view (102) comprising representation of a scene object (112), receiving a left-eye texture (203) and a right-eye texture (206) for the scene object (112) and generating a left-eye scene view (101) comprising the left-eye texture applied to the representation of the scene object and the right-eye scene view (107) comprising a right-eye texture applied to the representation of the scene object. The method further comprises the steps of, prior to generating the left-eye scene view and the right-eye scene view, determining a value of the texture parallax (P1,P2) between the left-eye texture (203) and the right-eye texture (206) and offsetting the left-eye texture (203) and the right-eye texture (206) by a half of the value of the texture parallax (P1, P2) in opposite directions such as to provide an offset left-eye texture (601) and an offset right-eye texture (602) with a texture parallax equal to zero.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a video frame type, comprising the steps of: receiving a video frame, analyzing the video frame in a plurality of frame type detectors (211, 212) using at least one algorithm configured to output a plurality of type coefficients (pLR, pTB, p2D) indicative of a probability that the frame is of a 2D or 3D type, wherein at least two of the coefficients (pLR, pTB, p2D) are calculated independently of each other and wherein the sum of the probability coefficients can be different than 100%, wherein each of the frame type detectors (211, 212) utilizes at least one algorithm different than the algorithms utilized by the other frame type detectors (211, 212), and wherein the frame type detectors (211, 212) operate in parallel, and generating a predicted frame type indicator based on the type coefficients (p)
