  • Patent number: 9325716
    Abstract: A method, and apparatus and computer program for enabling the method, the method comprising: detecting a user input at a first apparatus and, in response to the detection of the user input, selecting content wherein the content is stored at a remote server; establishing a communication link with a second apparatus wherein the second apparatus is different from the first apparatus; transmitting information indicative of the location of the selected stored content over the established communication link to the second apparatus; receiving identification information from the second apparatus over the established communication link wherein the identification information enables at least the user of the second apparatus to be identified; and transmitting information to the remote server to enable a user associated with the received identification information to access the selected stored content.

  • Publication number: 20120081521
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for displaying images are provided. In the method, first and second set of image pre-compensation parameters are read from a memory. An image is loaded, the image including at least one of sub-image pair, each pair including a sub-image intended to the left eye and a sub-image intended to the right eye. The first set of parameters is applied to the at least one sub-image of each pair intended to the left eye and the second set of parameters is applied to the at least one sub-image of each pair intended for right eye. The image is displayed on a stereoscopic display.

  • Publication number: 20100328221
    Abstract: An apparatus with a multi view display. The display is configured to operate as a touch screen for receiving input and to provide multiple views, wherein content of a view depends on a viewing direction. The apparatus includes detection equipment detection equipment, and a processing unit. The detection equipment with the processing unit is configured to cause the apparatus to detect arrival direction of input received through said touch screen, and the processing unit is configured to control one of the views on said display responsive to said input received through said touch screen and to select which view to control based on the detected arrival direction of said input.

  • Publication number: 20100122070
    Abstract: Subvector slices x(i,r,s) of a first vector x(i) are stored (e.g., in a CAM array) in a bit-parallel word-serial manner. For each of the stored subvector slices and in parallel on bits of said each subvector slice, an operation is executed that outputs a pre-calculated inner product result of the said bits and a second vector a. If the subvector slices x(i,r,s) of the first vector x(i) are initially stored in a bit-serial word-serial manner, there is a transform to store them in the bit-parallel word serial manner by copying relevant bits of each of the subvector slices from a 0th column of a content-addressable memory array to elements of a tags register and, for each kth iteration, shifting bits in the elements of the tags register by m positions and copying the shifted bits to a column of the CAM array. An associative processor outputs the pre-calculated inner product result in a distributed arithmetic manner.
