Electronic device including display; memory storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute stored instructions to identify event for enabling display; in response to identification of event, identify, based on display setting, whether timing of identification of event is within first time period of a day or second time period of the day; in response to identifying that timing of the identification of the event is within the first time period of the day, control the display to display a first color through the display enabled by the event, based on the display setting; and in response to identifying that the timing of the identification of the event is within the second time period of the day, control the display to display a second color representing a temperature lower than a temperature of the first color through the display enabled by the event, based on the display setting.

A method of controlling a converged communications device. The method includes executing a first call between the converged communications device and a first network using a first communication modality, audibilizing the first call with one of an earpiece speaker and a loudspeaker, receiving a second call from a second network having a second communication modality different from the first communication modality, sensing an action by a user in response to receiving the second call, and audibilizing the second call with the other of the earpiece speaker and the loudspeaker based on the action and based on the second communication modality. Also discloses is a converged communications device performing the method.

A rotatable case for holding an electronic device during video conferencing or gaming. The case includes a device-surrounding frame, a main body component with a lower planar surface, a rotatable bottom, an upper surface, one or connecting sidewalls and a groove in which an axially tilting rod can be locked in place. That rod includes spaced fingers for holding the framed device and preventing it from being accidentally pulled down, knocked over or removed from its locking fingers. The case also includes means for securing the main body component to a planar surface.

The present invention provides a portable device includes a control unit; a first and a second image capturing device coupled to the control unit; a wide angle image generating module coupled to the control unit to activate the first and the second image capturing device, simultaneously for taking a first picture by the first image capturing device and a second picture by the second image capturing device respectively; a stitching module coupled to the control unit to combine the first picture and the second picture to form a wide view angle image; and a display coupled to the control unit for displaying the wide view angle image.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of terminals, and particularly relates to a method and device for terminal-based object recognition, and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a function instruction for simulated magnifier input to a terminal by a user; activating a camera of the terminal according to the function instruction for simulated magnifier; determining an object to be recognized based on an object photographed by the camera; acquiring a physical distance between the object to be recognized and the camera, and acquiring a preset focal length corresponding to the physical distance; generating, according to the preset focal length, a first image corresponding to the object to be recognized, and displaying the first image; performing image processing and image recognition on the first image; and displaying information of the object to be recognized at the terminal according to a result of image processing and image recognition.

A virtual meeting attendee includes a scheduling interface operatively coupled to a computerized meeting platform and configured to enable the virtual meeting attendee to be scheduled into meetings as a participant by users of the computerized meeting platform. The virtual meeting attendee also includes a content preparation machine configured, when the meeting attendee has been scheduled into a meeting as a participant, to receive meeting-associated content from computing devices of other participants scheduled into the meeting and output the meeting-associated content for display via a display device associated with the virtual meeting attendee.

An electronic device according to one example of the present invention comprises: a proximity sensor for generating proximity information on an object which approaches the electronic device; an iris sensor for detecting an iris; and a first processor for controlling the electronic device, wherein the first processor can be set to: determine the distance between the electronic device and the object on the basis of the proximity information generated by the proximity sensor; detect the iris by using the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is greater than a first reference value; and inactivate the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is less than or equal to the first reference value. In addition, other examples are possible.

Methods and systems in which a portable electronic device can be voice activated are disclosed. The portable electronic device can be a multi-function electronic device. The voice activation can be robust and context sensitive. The voice activation can also be utilized without any preparatory user action with respect to the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device can also interact with a media system.

The invention provides a method for securely inputting an access code to an input interface of a mobile end device. During an input time period covering the process of inputting the access code, at least one or some sensors of the end device that are uninvolved in the input of the access code, said sensors being respectively arranged for capturing sensor variables by sensor, are hindered from capturing and/or passing on the respective sensor variable. Possible sensors are acceleration sensors or a digital camera. The method prevents the access code from being spied out by means of the deactivated sensors.

Disclosed herein are an electronic device and method for activating a camera. It is identified whether the illuminance received by a second camera is below a threshold. When the illuminance received by the second camera falls below the threshold a predefined function is performed such as activating a first camera.
