A system and method are provided for transferring data from a first mobile device to another device by determining a set comprising one or more items, initiating a first transfer of at least some data associated with at least one of the one or more items to the other device, detecting an interaction with the set, and enabling a second transfer of additional data associated with the set.

System and method for transferring data between electronic devices

A method and system are provided for determining a display orientation of a mobile device. The mobile device is configured to change the display orientation when an orientation of the mobile device satisfies one or more criteria. The method includes determining the orientation of the mobile device and providing an indicator of a proximity of the orientation of the mobile device to satisfying the one or more criteria.

System and method for determining a display orientation of a mobile device

A method and a device are disclosed, whereby the device can be a first electronic device. The first electronic device is adapted to be coupled to a second electronic device. The method comprises outputting, with the first device, a request to communicatively couple with a second device in response to a gesture performed with the first device. The second electronic device and method of operating it are also disclosed.

Devices and methods for establishing a communicative coupling in response to a gesture

Displaying information related to a message on a display screen of a handheld electronic device. In response to a movement of the handheld electronic device from an initial position to a first orientation, displaying on the display screen a first notice related to the message.

Handheld device with notification message viewing

A system and method are provided including an electronic device having a processor, a display coupled to the processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a short-range communication system coupled to the processor, a transducer coupled to the processor, and a communication module saved in the memory. The communication module configures the processor to execute a communication discovery process, the communication discovery process including sending information via the short range communication system to a pairable device, the information including data for executing a coordinated indication of pairability; receive an affirmative response via the short-range communication system from the pairable device; and perform the coordinated indication of pairability.

System and method for indicating pairing availability between devices

A method is described. The method comprising: receiving character data from the remote device in response to a user applying the character data to a displayed target; and supplying the character data to one of a plurality of components executable on a processor of a device based on one or more characters in the character data. A device is also described.

Device, system and method for processing character data

A method is described. The method comprising the steps of receiving character data from the remote device following a selection of character data for application to a target; and determining, based on one or more characters in the character data, one or more components executable on the processor for supplying the character data thereto. A device is also described.

A method in a portable electronic device for providing a user with an improved user interface is described. The electronic device includes one or more processors and memory including instructions which when executed by the one or more processors cause the electronic device to perform the method. While content in a user interface of a first application is displayed, a first user input is detected. In response to the first user input, at least a preview for a second application is displayed. In some instances, the second application is selected automatically at least partly in dependence on the content displayed in the user interface of the first application.

Method and apparatus for displaying a preview of an application to a user

A method at an electronic device including a touch-sensitive display for receiving touch input and a keyboard comprising a plurality of buttons, the method comprising: detecting actuation of a button on at least one of the plurality of buttons; detecting a touch input at the touch-sensitive display while the button is actuated; responding to the touch input, wherein response to the touch input while the button is actuated is different to response to touch input detected while the button is not actuated.

Keyboard and touch screen gesture system

A method is described. The method comprising the steps of detecting an electronic device being positioned at one of a plurality of discrete positions, and generating data pertaining to at least one application associated with the one detected discrete position for generating or modifying a display object on a display generated by a remote device. A device is also described.

Device and method for generating data for generating or modifying a display object

A system and method are provided for displaying a user interface using multiple electronic devices. The method comprises providing a first user interface framework on a first electronic device having a first display screen; the first user interface framework determining that a second display screen on a second electronic device is available via a connection between the first and second electronic devices; the first user interface framework using application logic from an application on the first mobile device to determine a first user interface portion to be displayed on the first display screen and a second user interface portion to be displayed on the second display screen; and the first user interface framework providing data associated with the second user interface portion to the second electronic device.

System and method for displaying a user interface across multiple electronic devices

A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a memory configured to store instructions, a plurality of keys configured to receive respective key inputs, and a screen. The portable electronic device also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions to detect a first key input at one of the plurality of keys, enable a preview mode based on the detected first key input. While the preview mode is enabled, the processor is also configured to a second key input at one of the plurality of keys, at least one of the first or second key input being associated with a content preview for one of a plurality of applications, and display on the screen the content preview for the associated one of the plurality of applications.

Electronic device and method for previewing content associated with an application

A method and system for rendering scenes in stereoscopic 3-D comprises identifying, or detecting, that a rate of change, of one or more elements of a scene to be rendered in stereoscopic 3-D, satisfies a criterion. The perceived depth of elements of the scene is then dynamically modified, and the scene is rendered. The method can reduce eye strain of a viewer of the scene, since the perceived difference in depth of objects or elements of the scene is reduced while the object is changing position or visibility dramatically.
