Patent number: 10642885Abstract: A method and apparatus for grouping and sharing images are disclosed. A sequence of media data entities that include at least one digital image frame is obtained. The least one digital image frame includes an optical machine-readable code that includes a contextual collection identifier and a sharing destination. The contextual collection identifier and the sharing destination from the optical machine-readable code is identified and a contextual collection is created based on the contextual collection identifier. Subsequent media data entities are added to the contextual collection, a selection of media data entities to be shared in the sharing destination are received, and the media data entities to the sharing destination are uploaded based on the selection.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Tomi Tarvainen

Publication number: 20150371365Abstract: The invention relates to a method, comprising receiving a file storing at least image data and information on a focus point; generating a zoom effect for an image being represented by said image data, said zoom effect comprising image frames having a same resolution, wherein each image frame comprises a more zoomed content of the image than the previous image frame starting from a first frame comprising a full content of the image, proceeding towards the focus point and ending to a last frame comprising a portion of the content of the image. Further, there is a method comprising capturing an image by an imaging device, said imaging device being focused on a focus point in said image; determining an end point of a zoom; saving in a file the image data, an information on the focus point and an information of the end point of a zoom. The invention also relates to technical equipment for implementing a method.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventor: Tomi TARVAINEN

Patent number: 7502866Abstract: A telecommunication network planning and network control includes network installation procedures and a system for configuring a telecommunication network. More specifically, a method and system for configuring a telecommunication network relate to preparing a network element for operation, and giving an address to a network element, where each network element in the telecommunication network has an address of its own. The method and system are further characterized by a process in which each network element is made a subnetwork of its own, a common network-wide IP classification is selected, an IP address is created for each network element, a configuration file is created which includes at least IP address information in combination with a network element site identifier. The configuration file is stored in a control device, and the configuration file is loaded from the control device into the network element on the basis of the site identifier.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Tomi Tarvainen, Jarek Krol, Kimmo Autio, Jari Torkkel, Jarmo Pyyhtia, Hannu Tuominen, Juha Okkonen
