The invention concerns a method and an apparatus, such as a personal device, for presenting information to a user. The device comprises at least one processing core, a display, at least one sensor and a memory including computer program code. According to the invention, the location of the apparatus is determined by means of a sensor providing location information, and a query comprising an indication of the current location is transmitted from the apparatus to a thematic map database server. The apparatus is then updated with thematic maps related to the location by downloading thematic map data and storing the thematic map data in a memory. At least one downloaded thematic map as one of a suggested activity is presented to the user in a first display mode on said display, and an activity session is selected. A sequence is performed where

Apparatus and method for presenting thematic maps

The invention concerns an apparatus and a method for a personal device. The device comprises at least one processor with at least one processing core, at least one display, at least one sensor, at least one memory including a computer program code. The apparatus determine the location of the apparatus by means of a sensor providing location information to said at least one processing core and transmits a query to a thematic map database server. The apparatus is then updated with thematic maps related to the location by downloading thematic map data and storing the thematic map data in a memory. The user is presented on a display in a first display mode with least one downloaded thematic map as one of a suggested activity. A selected activity is initiated and displayed to the user in a first display mode performance-related information relating to physical performance of the user, then a first power-save mode may be entered by switching from the first display mode to a second display mode which displays to the user at least the time and a thematic map with reduced functionality relating to the activity. A second power-save mode may be entered by putting processing core in a hibernating mode and entering a third display mode, where a clock unit updates the display in predefined time intervals at least with the time. A return to the first power-save mode b) and second display mode may performed by activating a processing core from a hibernating mode, and toggling between the second and third display modes may be obtained until the activity session is terminated by the user.

Selecting the information displayed on a sports watch, the watch comprising an interface for receiving movement information from at least one sensor; a display; and at least two display modes, wherein at least one mode is a sport mode configured to display sport-specific data. The method according to the invention comprises detecting a sport event based on the movement information received from the at least one sensor; and selecting the sport mode according to the detected sport event.

Automatic information system

The invention relates to a system and method for remote activation of a storage operation of pictorial information. According to the invention, it involves a wearable sensor device, comprising at least one sensor, a processing unit, a memory unit, and a wireless signaling unit for communicating with external devices over a wireless link by means of one-way transmission of information. A second device comprises a recording apparatus adapted to be set in a mode of continuous capture of pictorial information, a memory, and a wireless signaling system for communicating with external devices over a wireless link. The processing unit in the wearable sensor device is adapted, based on sensor signals received from said at least one sensor, to send commands over the wireless link to the second digital device to trigger, in response to said commands, storage of at least part of said continuously captured pictorial information.

System and method for remote activation of a storage operation of pictorial information

A method, a sports watch, a computer program, a computing device and a system for creating an event accessible over a communications network, characterized by the method comprising receiving a first sport-specific data from a first sports watch; receiving a second sport-specific data from a second sports watch; comparing the first sport-specific data and the second sport-specific data; detecting a common context with the first sport-specific data and the sport-specific second data; and creating an event based on the common context.

System and method for creating ad-hoc events from sensed sport-specific data

The invention relates to a system, a method, a wearable digital device and a recording device for remote activation of a storage operation of pictorial information. According to the invention, it involves a first wearable digital device receiving instructions from a user and storing them as input values for a processing unit using said instructions, and a wireless signaling unit for communication with external devices over a wireless link. It also involves a second device comprising a recording apparatus adapted to be set in a mode of continuous capture of pictorial information, a memory, and a wireless signaling system for communicating with external devices over a wireless link. The processing unit in the first wearable digital device is adapted to issue commands to be sent over said wireless link to said second digital device for instructing storage of captured pictorial information in the memory of said at least one second device.
