An apparatus for automatically suggesting information layers in augmented reality may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including providing layers of information relating to virtual information corresponding to information indicating a current location of the apparatus. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine that a layer(s) of information is enabled to provide virtual information for display. The virtual information corresponds to locations of real world objects in or proximate to the current location. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine other information layers associates with content for the current location based on the number of items virtual information for the enabled layer being below a threshold and automatically suggest one or more other layers of information for selection. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

An apparatus for grouping content in an augmented reality environment may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including receiving a detection of real world objects, of a current location, that are currently displayed. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine whether one or more of the real world objects are located along a line of direction and determine virtual objects that correspond to the real world objects located along the line. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to display an item of visible indicia signifying a group, associated with the virtual objects, that is positioned so as to correspond to at least one of the real world objects located along the line. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

An apparatus for providing a constant level of information in an augmented reality environment may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining a first number of points of interest associated with a first set of real world objects of a current location(s). The first set of real world objects is currently displayed. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine whether the first number is below a predetermined threshold and may increase a view range of a device to display a second set of real world objects. The view range may be increased in order to increase the first number to a second number of points of interest that corresponds to the threshold, based on determining that the first number is below the threshold. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

A method including detecting a communication call attempt in a portable communication device, determining whether the portable communication device is outside of a communication network coverage area, determining a location of the portable communication device where the communication call attempt is detected if outside of the communication network coverage area with a position determining module of the portable communication device and storing the location in a memory of the portable communication device, determining at least one route from the location of the portable communication device where the communication call attempt is detected to at least one communication network coverage area with a navigation module of the portable communication device and presenting the at least one route on a display of the portable communication device.

Delayed emergency position determination and transmission

This invention relates to a method for establishing a data link layer connection enabling data communication between a plurality of modules in a system connected to an IC&#x2122;-bus. The modules may be a mobile communication device such as a cell or mobile telephone, and peripherals such as a functional cover, a camera or the like. In addition, this invention relates to a data package configured according to the IC&#x2122; specification and according to a data link layer protocol.
