An apparatus comprising means for: obtaining a predicted breathing sequence of a user; obtaining a desired breathing phase for consuming a first media content; and causing rendering of the first media content to the user at a first time which is based, at least in part, on a predicted time in the predicted breathing sequence at which the desired breathing phase occurs.

Rendering media content based on a breathing sequence

An apparatus comprising means for, a method comprising, and a computer program that performs: preventing rendering, via the apparatus, of a message received at the apparatus; determining an association between the received message and an external, real object; and enabling rendering of the message via the apparatus in response to a change from a first physical relationship between a user and the external, real object to a second physical relationship between the user and the external, real object.

Rendering messages in response to user-object interaction

According to various, but not necessarily all, embodiments there is provided an apparatus comprising means for binocularly displaying visual content as a first image directed towards a first eye of a user and as a second image directed towards a second eye of the user. The first image comprises a first area in which a blue spectral component of the visual content is reduced as compared to a corresponding first area of the second image. The second image comprises a second, different area in which a blue spectral component of the visual content is reduced as compared to a corresponding second area of the first image.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device () for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device () comprises: a patient side () for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side () for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the surface of the patient side () and the surface of the user side () is at least partially formed of a material with variable contact characteristics configured to be controlled so as to regulate the lateral force distribution profile at the one or more of the surface of the patient side () and the surface of the user side () from a force applied to the device () by the user and transferred through the device () to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

According to an aspect, there is provided a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device () for enhancing the delivery of CPR to a patient. The device () comprises: a patient side () for engagement with the chest of the patient; and a user side () for engagement with the hands of a user delivering CPR to the patient. One or more of the patient side () and the user side () is at least partially formed of a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity of which is configured to vary in response to the application of energy so as to regulate a force distribution profile of the device () from a force applied to the device () by the user and transferred through the device () to the patient. According to other aspects, there is provided a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device and a computer program which, when executed on a computing device, carries out a control method for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, device.

An apparatus comprising means for performing: at a first time, controlling whether a user is granted access to a resource based on a response of the user to a first access task, and setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the resource based on the response of the user to the first access task; at a second time, controlling whether the user is granted access to the resource based on a response of the user to a second access task, different to the first access task, and setting one or more restrictions on granted access to the resource based on the response of the user to the second access task; and initiating a change from the first access task to the second access task, wherein the initiation of the change is causally independent of the response of the user to the first access task.

Resource access

An apparatus comprising means for: obtaining a predicted breathing sequence of a user; obtaining a first time when it is predicted that a first media content will be rendered to the user; obtaining a desired breathing phase for consuming the first media content; and causing at least one stimulus to be provided to the user, the at least one stimulus configured to cause a changed breathing sequence instead of the predicted breathing sequence, wherein the desired breathing phase in the changed breathing sequence is temporally shifted towards the first time as compared to the desired breathing phase in the predicted breathing sequence.

Causing a changed breathing sequence based on media content

An apparatus comprising means for receiving a token bid for an application to access a user-output resource of the apparatus; controlling access to the user-output resource of the apparatus in dependence upon at least the token bid for the application to access the user-output resource of the apparatus; and providing tokens for use in one or more token bids for the application to access the user-output resource of the apparatus wherein the number of tokens provided for token bids for the application is dependent upon at least a monitored behavior of the user.

Resource allocation

A method for evaluating a state of health (SOH) of an electric battery of an electric vehicle, said method comprising a step of: performing on said electric battery, under given conditions, a test, called proxy test, said proxy test including a partial charge and/or discharge action of the battery, comparing the results of the proxy test with data stored in a dataset, and estimating the SOH in function of the comparison result.
