Publication number: 20120218296Abstract: An approach is provided for location-based presentation of content. A content service platform determines one or more representations of at least one structure. The content service platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more representations to determine one or more features of the one or more representations. The content service platform further causes, at least in part, designation of the one or more features as elements of a virtual display area, wherein the one or more representations comprise, at least in part, the virtual display area. The content service platform also causes, at least in part, presentation of one or more outputs of one or more applications, one or more services, or a combination thereof in the virtual display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Petros Belimpasakis, Jussi Severi Uusitalo, Timo Pekka Pylvänäinen, Kimmo Tapio Roimela, Juha Henrik Arrasvuori

Patent number: 8077156Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for differentiating between and transmitting different levels of information associated with an object or file depending upon a number of tactile inputs detected. In particular, a user can define a number of levels (e.g., of privacy, of detail, etc.) associated with items of information making up objects or files stored on his or her device. The user can then indicate which level of information (i.e., which items of information of the object or file) he or she would like to transmit by using a different number of fingers (or other selection devices) to select the object or file. The electronic device may, in response, determine the number of fingers (or other selection devices) used and then transmit only the corresponding portions (e.g., items of information) of the selected object or file.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Michihito Mizutani, Jussi Severi Uusitalo

Publication number: 20100287611Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods in a mobile communication and content capturing device for controlling ownership and use of captured content. A mobile device capturing content of a user of a target device may automatically request authorization to use and own the captured content from the target device and user. The mobile device may detect the target device by comparing metadata associated with the captured content with device information of a target device. Alternatively, the capture device may communicate with a server to facilitate the authorization request process. The capture device may further establish a piconet with one or more intermediate wireless devices to detect and request authorization from a target device outside of the capture device's wireless range. Tokens may further be implemented to reduce transmission and processing times of various communication information including authorization requests and content files.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2010Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jan BLOM, Lóránt Farkas, Severi Uusitalo
