Abstract: A method and system for facilitating interaction between an electronic device and a plurality of content provider websites are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving at a server a plurality of information portions provided from the websites, where each of the information portions is associated with a respective copy of information that is available at each of the websites. The method also includes aggregating at the server the information portions so that they are combined into an overall grouping, with the respective information portions being maintained respectively as distinct subportions within the grouping. Further, the method includes sending from the server a message for receipt by a part of the electronic device, the primary message including the grouping. The grouping is sent together with an additional copy of the information or with an indication of that information to which the overall grouping relates.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating communication between an electronic device such as a mobile device and a plurality of content provider websites is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving at a server a first message regarding either uploading of a first portion of information to the content provider websites or, if the first portion is already available at the websites, modifying of the first portion, where the first message is a user instruction that includes a second portion of information identifying the websites. The method additionally includes sending a plurality of second messages, respectively, from the server for receipt by the websites, respectively, where each respective one of the second messages includes one or more of the first portion and a respective third portion of information concerning a respective modification. The method can additionally include one or more additional steps, and the system can include the server or the electronic device.

Abstract: Techniques (200) and apparatuses (100, 800) for image tagging are described. In some embodiments, an image-tagging module (114) is configured to enable selection of tags from different tag databases (116, 118) and to tag an image with a tag from one of the different tag databases (116, 118).

Abstract: A method and a mobile wireless communication device (100) capable of virtual exploration of information associated with a location of the device including a processor (110) coupled to the location determining means, a display (130) coupled to the processor, a processor executable application stored in memory (120), the application programming the processor to display information associated with the location of the mobile wireless communication device determined by the location determining means, and the application programming the processor to virtually navigate the information associated with the location of the mobile wireless communication device based on input at the user input (140).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for composing an illumination pattern includes a user interface (102) capable of receiving input commands (106), wherein the input commands (106) are directed to the selection of at least one illumination region (148, 150, 152 and 154). The method and apparatus further includes a processor (104) coupled to the user interface (102) to receive the user input (106) and thereupon generate input signals (108), which provided to the processor (104). The processor (104), in response to the input signals (108) thereupon generates an illumination pattern, wherein illumination pattern includes a plurality of illumination commands for a selected region (240), a selected color (244) for the selected region (240), and a timing (246) for the illumination of the selected region (240) at the selected color (244).
