Abstract: A computing device is described which has at least one application access record storing references to content items stored at the computing device. At least one local store stores other content items. A processor of the computing device executes at least one application, the application having ability to access the content items referenced in the application access record and restricted from accessing the other content items. An operating system of the computing device is configured to search the local store to identify at least one of the other content items on the basis of criteria, and to suggest the identified other content item(s) to a user of the computing device for access by the application.

Abstract: A method may comprise: obtaining a preliminary frame sequence and at least one still image frame, captured by a digital camera during shooting a scene; obtaining at least one of indication of fulfillment of a predetermined starting scene condition in at least one frame of the preliminary frame sequence and indication of fulfillment of a predetermined first camera condition prevailing during capturing the preliminary frame sequence; automatically selecting a starting frame from the preliminary frame sequence on the basis of at least one of fulfillment of the starting scene condition and fulfillment of the first camera condition; and automatically forming, from the preliminary frame sequence and the at least one still image frame, a displayable frame sequence for displaying a living image of the scene, the living image comprising a still image and a preceding image sequence, the frame sequence starting by the starting frame and having a still image frame as a stopping frame for displaying the still image.

Abstract: In an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating access to a plurality of source multimedia content, wherein at least one source multimedia of the plurality of source multimedia content comprises corresponding depth information. The method further includes generating a blend map by defining a plurality of depth layers. At least one depth layer of the plurality of depth layers is associated with a respective depth limit. Defining the at least one depth layer comprises selecting pixels of the at least one depth layer from the at least one source multimedia content of the plurality of source multimedia content based on the respective depth limit associated with the at least one depth layer and the corresponding depth information of the at least one source multimedia content. The method also includes blending the plurality of source multimedia content based on the blend map.
