A telecommunications device sends and receives messages comprising data about telecommunications resources and resource state of proximate devices. The telecommunications device has a processor configured to determine a proximate resource pool using at least the telecommunication resources of the other devices, and the state of the telecommunications resources of the other devices, the proximate resource pool comprising a list of content streams being generated by, or potentially being generated by, specified ones of the other devices. The processor is configured to receive instructions from one of the other devices, the instructions being to add, divert or stop a specified content stream of the proximate resource pool within a telecommunications activity ongoing at the device. In various examples, the processor is configured to execute the instructions responsive to the instructions being from a trusted device, or responsive to user authorization.

A method is provided for reducing hand or pointing device occlusions of a display, particularly a touch screen or hover display. Detection of the position of a pointing object and eyes relative to a device display may be used to calculate an offset correction. Shifting a user interface component based on the offset correction may reduce pointing object occlusions of the display. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for reducing hand or pointing device occlusions of a display

An apparatus, including: a light source; a controller configured, in response to the occurrence of a first event involving the apparatus, to control the light source to produce a first, time-varying, illuminative effect that varies between maxima and minima of illumination intensity over a period of time following the occurrence of the first event, wherein the variation in the first illuminative effect is indicative to a user that the first event has occurred; and the controller being further configured, in response to the occurrence of a second event involving the apparatus, to control the light source to produce a second, time-varying, illuminative effect that varies between maxima and minima of illumination intensity over a period of time following the occurrence of the second event, wherein the variation in the second illuminative effect is indicative to a user that the second event has occurred.

Mobile communication apparatus and method for alerting users by light sources with time-varying illuminative effects

An apparatus including: a plurality of keys each having an in-use configuration and a stowed configuration, wherein a key when in the in-use configuration is configured to travel between a first relatively raised position and a second relatively lowered position under a user applied force and is configured to return to the first relatively raised position after removal of the user applied force and wherein a key when in the stowed configuration is unable to travel to the first relatively raised position.

Apparatus including a plurality of keys having in-use and stowed configurations

An apparatus including: an intermediate chassis configured to move in at least a first direction and configured to define a reaction surface; a movable chassis configured to move in at least a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and configured to define a follower wherein the reaction surface and follower interact to convert movement of the intermediate chassis and reaction surface in the first direction to movement of the follower and movable chassis in the second direction. Also, an apparatus including a first movable housing portion having side faces including one or more interface components; and a second housing portion; wherein the first movable housing portion is movable relative to the second housing portion between a compact configuration in which the one or more interface components are obscured by the second housing portion and an expanded configuration in which the one or more interface components are exposed.
