Abstract:

A method of processing location data at a portable computing device is provided and includes receiving information associated with a user defined location at the portable computing device. The information includes a central point and an entry indication perimeter. An entry alert associated with the user defined location is received at the portable computing device. The location of the portable computing device is monitored to determine when the portable computing device crosses the entry indication perimeter associated with the central point of the user defined location indicating that the portable computing device is proximate to the user defined location. The method further includes switching the portable computing device from a roaming state to an entry state indicating that the portable computing device is about to enter the user defined location. An indication can be provided to the user that the portable computing device has switched to the entry state.

Abstract:

A method and system for providing context dependent pop-up menu icons that activate menu icons in response to a select & drag operation by manipulation of a pointing device. Presented icons may correspond to functions or actions that can be implemented with the particular type of content selected. Icons may be displayed in a consistent manner in terms of position and content with respect to the selected file or object. Icons may appear only during a select & drag operation, thereby leaving the display uncluttered at other times. Presentation of icons may be discontinued when the selected file or object is dragged beyond the area of the presented icons. New applications can register with the operating system to specify icons to be presented when corresponding files are selected or when particular content objects are selected within the application.

Abstract:

Methods and systems for transcribing portions of a telephone conversation to text enables users to request transcription such as by pressing a button on a mobile device, with the request transmitted to a server including transcription software. The server transcribes some or all of the telephone conversation to text, and transmits the text to the mobile device. The text data may be scanned for selected information, and only the selected information transmitted to the mobile device. The selected information may be automatically stored in memory of the mobile device, such as in an address book.

Appl. No.:

12/580956

Inventors:

Diego A. Wilson - San Diego CA, US
Sean S. Rogers - San Diego CA, US
Per O. Nielsen - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345647, 345684

Abstract:

Methods and devices provide a user interface that provides visual cues when a document pan or scroll has reached an end or boundary by distorting the document image in response to further user inputs. The image distortion functionality may include shrinking, stretching, accordion expansion, or bouncing of a document image. The degree of image distortion may be proportional to the distance that a user input would have the document move beyond the encountered boundary. When a boundary of a document image is reached during a rapid pan or scroll, a bouncing image distortion may be applied to the document image to inform the user that the document reached a boundary during the movement.

Filed:

Jul 29, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/193250

Inventors:

Sean Rogers - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/235

US Classification:

348229100

Abstract:

A method and apparatus compensates for improperly exposed areas in a first digital image taken with a first aperture setting by rapidly and automatically capturing a second digital image of the same scene using a second aperture setting. If a portion of the first image is properly exposed, then image information for the portion is used in a third adjusted image. If the portion is improperly exposed, then image information for the portion is combined with image information for a corresponding portion in the second image, thereby generating a composite portion used in the adjusted image. The manner of combining can be based on the luminance of the portion in the first image. In another example, one image is captured. Improperly exposed portions are adjusted using a screening process. The adjusted image is stored as a file with an indication in the file header that the image has been adjusted.
