Abstract: Mechanisms are described for enhancing a user's photo browsing experience by presenting one or more video clips associated with an area of the photo that the user is viewing. For example, a pre-recorded still image may be presented on a display, and the still image may be associated with a pre-recorded video. One or more video clips of interest may be defined from the pre-recorded video and associated with a viewable area of the pre-recorded still image, e.g., a zoomed-in portion of the pre-recorded video. Receipt of a user input via the zoomed-in portion may cause presentation of a video clip of interest that is associated with the zoomed-in portion. The video clip of interest may, for example be a portion of the pre-recorded video in which an evens occurs, such as a gesture or a laugh or a smile of one of the participants in the scene being captured.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a controller, wherein said controller is configured to display a message text, receive an input indicating a keyword; determine an associated operation and to generate a response message according to the associated operation.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: enable detection of one or more stroke user inputs for use in deciphering an entered character during a character entry mode; enable detection of a jolt during the character entry mode; upon detection of the jolt, associate one or more of the stroke user inputs with the jolt; and provide for a predetermined timeout period during which the one or more associated stroke user inputs are at least one of considered for removal from display and considered for removal from consideration in deciphering the entered character.

Abstract: User input data and movement data relating to movement of a device to which the user input is made is monitored. The input data may be modified according to the movement data so that inadvertent inputs based on an unwanted tremors, bumps, or similar are accounted for. Data from an accelerometer may indicate sudden movement or bumps. The input data, such as handwriting for example, may then be modified based on the data from the accelerometer. Therefore, the device may determine the input as intended by the user.

Abstract: An example apparatus is caused to receive a video sequence of a plurality of frames, and perform a number of operations as each of at least some of the frames is received but before all of the frames are received. The apparatus is caused to calculate a score for the frame, and compare the score for the frame to a predefined threshold. The apparatus is caused to cause output of the frame as a key frame in an instance in which the frame is received within a specified period of time and the score for the frame is above the predefined threshold. Otherwise, in an instance in which none of the scores for frames received within the specified period of time is above the predefined threshold, the apparatus is caused to cause output of one of the frames received within the specified period of time as a key frame.
