Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product for: receiving a trace input entered on a surface; receiving movement data describing the movement of the surface during entry of the trace input; and modifying the trace input based on the movement data.

Abstract: A method for providing a mechanism for gesture recognition may include causing down-sampling of image data received to generate down-sampled image blocks for a plurality of image frames, causing extraction of a plurality of features from the down-sampled image blocks, determining a moving status of the down-sampled image blocks based on changes in values of respective features in consecutive frames, and determining a direction of motion of an object in the image data based on movement of a first border and a second border of a projection histogram determined based on the moving status of respective down-sampled image blocks. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

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.

Abstract: An example apparatus is caused to receive a video sequence of a plurality of frames, and activate one of a plurality of available decoding processes based on a comparison of a size of the frames to a predefined threshold. The apparatus is also caused to select some but not all of the frames of the video sequence as potential key frames of the video sequence. The selected frames are located at or close to predefined positions along a length of the video sequence. The apparatus is also caused to decode the potential key frames according to the activated decoding process, and cause output of at least some of the potential key frames as key frames of the video sequence. The apparatus may be caused to discard from the potential key frames, one or more plain frames and/or a frame identified as being similar to other potential key frames.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method, a computer program and a graphical user interface is provided.

Abstract: An apparatus, a method and a computer program is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, the at least one processor being configured to execute the computer program instructions to cause the apparatus at least to perform: processing an input pattern, detected at an instance in time by a touch sensitive display, to discriminate between a fingertip input pattern and an elongate input pattern; performing a first action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the fingertip input pattern; and performing a second action after discriminating that the input pattern corresponds with the elongate input pattern, wherein the second action is different to the first action.

Abstract: Apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus, comprising a processor, memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: receiving an indication of an input environment, determining that the input environment negatively affects at least one input mode, determining that the input mode is active, and causing display of an input environment notification is disclosed.

Abstract: Various methods for written mathematical expression analysis are provided. One method may include receiving written input where the written input is representative of a mathematical expression. The method may also include analyzing the written input to identify at least one operator and at least one operand and constructing an expression tree based at least in part on predefined symbol relationships, the at least one operator, and the at least one operand. Similar apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing an input order independent character input mechanism may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an input comprising an element corresponding to a portion of a character being entered by a user independent of an order for inputting the element based on the portion of the character corresponding to the element, wherein receiving an input comprises receiving at least one radical. The processor may additionally be configured to retrieve at least one candidate character for the character being entered based at least in part on the received element. The processor may also be configured to provide a selection of candidate characters including the at least one candidate character to the user. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

Abstract: A method for navigating information in a mobile terminal. The method includes displaying, on a graphical user interface of the mobile terminal, a plurality of window regions, wherein each region is a container for objects and provides an overview of features and functions of the terminal and a status of the terminal. A first user input selects of one of the regions and in response to the first user input, displaying at least one object corresponding to a selected region in a portion of the selected region.
