摘要:
Methods and systems for simulating light interaction and physical materials in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a resource-constrained device are provided. Simulating physical materials, such as glass and metal, in a GUI can allow a user to feel more natural in interacting with the GUI. The user experience can be further enhanced if the simulated physical materials in the GUI can interact with the device's environment in a manner similar to how the actual physical materials would interact. However, continually polling various sensors can be resource-intensive, especially for resource-constrained mobile devices. Accordingly, a mobile device can intelligently determine whether to begin a reduced detail mode, and then render user interface objects in the reduced detail mode to conserve resources.

Systems and methods are provided for revising the time associated with a digital photograph. A digital photograph and data representing an initial time the photograph was taken may not correspond with identified temporal information. In response, a revised time may be generated based on the temporal information and associated with the digital photograph.

An intelligent pairing between a first device and a target second device is described. The intelligent pairing can use information provided by a plurality of second devices responding to a connection request by the first device where only one of the plurality of responding second devices is the target second device. The information can include a motion signature, a first device identifier, and a second device identifier.

The disclosed implementations provide a system and method of generating or updating a geo-fence surrounding a geographic region based on movement patterns of a device operating within the geographic region. In some implementations, an anchor location is selected by a user or application. A default geo-fence can be generated to surround a region containing the anchor point. Data points are collected by the device based on sensor data and time stamps collected over a selectable period of time. The system analyzes the data points to generate a geo-fence surrounding a geographic region containing the anchor location (if no default geo-fence is defined) or updates the default geo-fence to encompass more or less of the geographic region.
摘要:
A method for modifying one or more characteristics of a mobile electronic device in order to save or reduce power consumption of the device. The method includes determining by, a processor of the mobile electronic device, an estimated use of the mobile electronic device during an upcoming time period; using the estimated use, determining, by the processor, whether an internal power source of the mobile electronic device has sufficient power to continue operation of the mobile electronic device in a first state during the upcoming time period; based on the estimated use and the internal power source, if the internal power source does not have sufficient power, adjusting the one or more characteristics to reduce a power consumption of the mobile electronic device during the upcoming time period.

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for managing image metadata based on the use of rules are described. In general, this disclosure describes how to control the recordation of image metadata through the use of rules. More particularly, rules may be specified that are “executed” against an image's metadata at capture time. Depending upon whether the rule was satisfied and what the rule's specified action is, image metadata may be retained, removed or modified as the image and its metadata is stored.

Described is a method of creating objects for collecting textual information from a CTI server and display the textual information in an application for controlling a telephony system and for allowing users to enter information associated with a call and having this information automatically associated with the call information stored in a CTI server. The objects are created by selecting reusable image symbols and embedding them into an application, without requiring an application developer to write any programming code. After being embedded into an application, these objects are able to correct textual information from the CTI server and display the textual information within the objects. These objects are also able to collect textual information entered by a user and pass this information to the CTI server.
摘要:
A mechanism for recording browser activities performed at a first web browser and subsequently replaying the recorded browser activities at one or more web browsers. The browsing activities can be recorded together with time references corresponding to various browsing activities such as when a web page is retrieved, or the length of time a page is displayed. The browsing activities can be replayed in accordance with the recorded time references. If desired, the browsing activities that are being repeated can be synchronized among multiple browsers.
摘要:
Described is a mechanism for dependably tracking web page activities among a group of browsers. The web browsers retrieve web pages from an HTTP server, with each of the web pages embedding an applet. In response to web page activities (such as loading or unloading of a web page) performed at a browser, the respective applet reports the activities (together with the URL of the web page) to a synchronization server, which in turn stores them in a database.
摘要:
Improved techniques and systems for utilizing a portable electronic device to monitor, process, present and manage data captured by a remote sensor during a physical activity session are disclosed. The portable electronic device offers a convenient user interface that can be visual and/or audio based customized to a particular application, user-friendly and/or dynamic. The portable electronic device can pertain to a personal media device and thus also provide media playback.
