A method comprises receiving an indication of a bending force in excess of a first predetermined threshold being applied to a communications device, and responding to receipt of the indication of the bending force in excess of the first predetermined threshold by causing a message to be transmitted from the communications device to a remote receiver, or responding to subsequent receipt of an indication that the bending force has subsequently fallen below a second predetermined threshold by causing a message to be transmitted from the communication device to a remote receiver.

Techniques for expanded content tag sharing include determining that a first user is associated with content provided by a different second user. Data is recorded that indicates the first user is authorized to associate a different third user with the content provided by the second user, without further input by the second user. In some embodiments, the data that indicates the content provided by the second user includes data that indicates a plurality of contents. Some techniques include determining a message received from a first user indicates a portion of content associated with the first user, and a second user. The portion of the content is rendered on an apparatus of the second user. The second user is prompted for associating, with the portion of the content, an item identifier, such as text or another user, for the portion of the content.

Method and apparatus for expanded content tag sharing

An apparatus, a method and a non-transitory computer readable medium is provided. The apparatus includes: at least one processor; and at least one memory storing computer program instructions configured, working with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: detecting bending of a flexible auto-stereoscopic display comprising a parallax barrier arrangement; and compensating for movement of the parallax barrier arrangement, caused by the bending of the flexible auto-stereoscopic display, by adjusting one or more characteristics of the flexible auto-stereoscopic display in dependence upon the bending of the flexible auto-stereoscopic display.

A method of simultaneously determining a DC offset and a channel impulse response from a received signal in a mobile communication system. The received signal comprising a set of training sequence bits that have been modulated prior to transmission. The modulated signals experience a certain phase shift and are rotated by a certain angle. The received signal may also comprise a DC offset component that needs to be removed By manipulation of the received signal samples with the knowledge of the original training sequence and method of modulation used, it is possible to simultaneously estimate the communication channel's impulse response and the DC offset by finding the Least Squares solution to a linear equation, such that the energy of the noise term introduced into the communication channel may be kept to a minimum. An improved technique utilising a priori information is also described.
