Abstract: A method of generating a user interface for presentation to a user. The method comprises executing a first application computer program to provide a user interface, executing agent computer program code to interrogate and modify said user interface during execution of said first application computer program, and presenting said modified user interface. The first application computer program may be run on a server, while the modified user interface may be presented to a user at a client connected to said server.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying a user interface. The method comprises receiving user interface data at a client from a first server, receiving modification computer program code at said client, and executing said modification computer program code at said client to modify said user interface data to generate modified user interface data. The modification computer program code can be received from said first server or from a further server.

Abstract: A disclosed method includes monitoring an audio signal energy level while having a noise suppressor deactivated to conserve battery power, buffering the audio signal in response to a detected increase in the audio energy level, activating and running a voice activity detector on the audio signal in response to the detected increase in the audio energy level and activating and running a noise estimator in response to voice being detected in the audio signal by the voice activity detector. The method may further include activating and running the noise suppressor only if the noise estimator determines that noise suppression is required. The method activates and runs a noise type classifier to determine the noise type based on information received from the noise estimator and selects a noise suppressor algorithm, from a group of available noise suppressor algorithms, where the selected noise suppressor algorithm is the most power consumption efficient.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a microphone array to capture audio input data, a speaker array to render audio output data for playback; one or more sensors to detect an orientation of the microphone array, acoustic echo cancellation logic, and an interface. The acoustic echo cancellation logic applies acoustic echo cancellation to the audio input data to form echo-cancelled audio input data based on the orientation of the microphone array. The interface transmits the echo-cancelled audio input data over a communications channel as part of an audiovisual communication system.

Abstract: An electronic device includes sensors configured to detect an orientation of a display, driver logic, and a speaker array. The driver logic processes the audio data received by an interface to form audio output data, and forms driver signals representing the audio output data based on the orientation of the display detected by the one or more sensors. The speaker array receives the driver signals formed orientation of the display, and renders the audio output data for playback based on the driver signals.

Abstract: A method for directing messages between a composite user interface and at least one source application. A message is to be directed to a predetermined set of services, each service executes a command specified by the message and the message comprises details of the predetermined set of services. Each service in the predetermined set of services uses said details to determine whether the message should be sent to another service, and if it is determined that the message should be sent to another service transmits the message to an appropriate service.
