  • Patent number: 11914184
    Abstract: An integrated optically functional multilayer structure includes a flexible, substrate film arranged with a circuit design including at least a number of electrical conductors on the substrate film; and a plurality of top-emitting, bottom-installed light sources provided upon a first side of the substrate film to internally illuminate at least portion of the structure for external perception via associated outcoupling areas, wherein for each light source of the plurality of light sources there is optically transmissive plastic layer, produced upon the first side of the substrate film, said plastic layer at least laterally surrounding the light source, the substrate film at least having a similar or lower refractive index therewith; and reflector design including at least one material layer, provided at least upon the light source and configured to reflect the light emitted by the light source and incident upon the reflective layer towards the plastic layer.

  • Publication number: 20150178968
    Abstract: The invention relates to an imaging module in a mobile device. The imaging module is configured to automatically overlay a plurality of predetermined graphical objects on a digital image taken by an integrated camera of the mo- bile device. At least part of the overlay objects present an approximately real-time content obtained from application server, thereby creating a composite image.

  • Patent number: 8406698
    Abstract: A method for determining a velocity of an object (O), such as a ball, over a span length (SL) extending from a span start (SS) to a span end (SE). An audio signal (AS) is received by a mobile terminal's (MT) microphone (MP). An approximate travel time (TT) for a traversal of the span length (SL) by the object (O) is determined, which act time comprises processing the audio signal (AS) and detecting a first shape (210) and a second shape (212) which respectively correspond to an approximate start time (T1) and approximate end time (T2) of the traversal, and determining the approximate travel time (TT) based on the detected first shape (210) and second shape (212). The object's velocity is determined based on the span length (SL) and approximate travel time (TT). The velocity may be determined by the mobile terminal or by an external server.

  • Publication number: 20100249958
    Abstract: A system for a sports activity, which system is adapted to detect potential game contacts that include contacts between games equipment (1) and a games object (2) and/or contacts between a games object (2) and a target surface (5), and the system comprises sensor means (3a, 3b) adapted to detect vibrations caused by potential game contacts and to convert these vibrations into sensor signals.
