Abstract: The use of a data link between two or more smart devices for voice communication allows for the enhancement of voice quality in a collaborative way through the exchange of well-defined meta-data between the smart devices. The meta-data may be exchanged on a separate IP data link or as part of the exchanged voice data packets.

Abstract: A method for a video recording and editing application analyses the audio and video during the process of video recording using a smart device such as a smartphone or tablet. The method provides feedback to the user during the video recording to improve user performance and reduce video and audio user errors. The method includes the option of automatic skipping or editing of video segments that suffer from user errors during playback.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention a teleconferencing system is conceived, which teleconferencing system comprises a master communication device and a plurality of satellite communication devices, wherein the master communication device is arranged to communicate with a far-end communication device through a global communication channel and to communicate with the plurality of satellite communication devices through a plurality of local communication channels, wherein the master communication device is further arranged to act as a portal between the far-end communication device and the satellite communication devices by forwarding voice communications received from the far-end communication device to the satellite communication devices through the local communication channels, and by mixing voice communications received from the satellite communication devices into a unified voice signal and sending said unified voice signal to the far-end communication device through the global communication channel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assisting in recording video content on a video recording device. The method involves displaying a cross which comprises two orthogonal intersecting lines, displaying an indicator token, and changing the state of at least one of the cross and the indicator token in response to a control signal from the video recording device to provide visual notification to a user of the video recording device.

Abstract: A device including a processor and a memory is disclosed. The memory includes programming instructions which when executed by the processor perform an operation. The operation includes detecting relative position of two earphones when connected to the device, determining if a binaural signal processing mode is appropriate based on the detected relative position and switching to the binaural signal processing mode. If it is determined that the binaural signal processing mode is not appropriate, switching to monaural processing mode.

Abstract: System and method for adjusting a sound notification volume a mobile device are disclosed. Accordingly, the transmission signal strength is measured at the mobile device for a transmission link between the mobile device and a smart companion device that is paired with the mobile device. Subsequently, using a calibration data and the measured signal strength, a distance between the mobile device and the smart companion device is estimated. Then, using a configuration that is preset in the mobile device and the estimated distance, the sound notification volume of the mobile device is adjusted.

Abstract: A system comprises means (PL; MI) for projecting an image light beam (ILB) on a projection area (PA) for display of an image (PI) on the projection area (PA), and means (1) for generating an ambient light beam (ALB; ALB1, ALB2) and comprising: an ambient light source (LS; LS1, LS2) for generating ambient light, a collimator (CO) or a light-guide (LG1, LG2) for receiving the ambient light to supply the ambient light beam (ALB; ALB1, ALB2), and a reflector (RF; RF1, RF2) for reflecting the ambient light beam (ALB; ALB1, ALB2) towards the projection area (PA) to obtain an ambient lighting area (ALI) adjacent the image (PI).

Abstract: A front projector (FP) comprises an image generating device (DP) which generates an image in accordance with an input display signal (IDS). A projection lens (PL) projects the image to obtain a projected image (PL) on an projection area (IPA). At least one light source (LS1, LS2; L1, L2, L3) generates at least one ambient light beam (ALB1, ALB2) which is projected via said same projection lens (PL) to obtain an ambient light image (ALI1, ALI2) at least partly flanking said projected image (PI).

Abstract: An apparatus for navigating an area (218) of memory (142), such as a play list of recorded audio/video, includes a clock-face-based user interface (128) with superimposed, rotatable clock hands (132, 136, 404, 408). In one embodiment, items may be added to, or deleted from, the play list at the navigated-to location in the list (260). In another embodiment, a screen field (140) is updated in real time to indicate the item currently being played back (204), or during navigation, the item currently navigated to (260).

Abstract: A time-shift buffer of recorded programming whose time of recording extends between a predetermined lower limit up to the present time is navigated by the user by means of a displayed clock face in selecting a desired program for immediate or deferred playback. Rewinding of hands on the clock face, under user control, causes the minute hand to enter a sector of the clock face representative of a time interval during which incoming programming was recorded. An identifier of the program is displayed in concert with the clock hand positioning, so that the user may at any point in the navigation select the currently-identified program for playback.
