A method and apparatus for alerting groups of user devices to similar video content of interest based on role. The method includes providing a first video to groups of user devices, each having an associated user role, receiving viewing metrics indicative of levels of viewing interest for the first video from a first group of user devices associated with a particular user role, and when a level of viewing interest is above a predetermined threshold, classifying one or more corresponding first video frames of the first video as frames of interest. The method further includes receiving a second video, determining, using the frames of interest, that video content of the second video is of interest to a second group of user devices having the particular user role, and providing an alert to the second group of user devices.

A mobile communications device with a private zone and a non-private zone and methods of displaying communications in the same. In one embodiment, the mobile communications device includes a display having a private zone in which viewing is relatively more restricted and a non-private zone in which viewing is relatively less restricted. The mobile communications device further includes a transceiver to transmit and receive communications and an electronic processor electrically coupled to the transceiver and to the display. The electronic processor is configured to receive a message and determine whether the message is private. The electronic processor displays the message in the private zone when the message is private.

A stationary interface control knob includes a body having a fixed substantially-cylindrical surface with a first axis, and a flexible touch panel sensor having a sensor surface at least partially in cylindrical form with a spaced relationship from the fixed substantially-cylindrical surface. The sensor surface has a second axis coinciding with the first axis. The flexible touch panel sensor senses a user interaction with the fixed substantially-cylindrical surface and generates an interface signal in response thereto. Also discloses are method of controlling the stationary interface control knob.
