Methods And Apparatuses For Determining And Using A Configuration Of A Composite Object

View page
US Patent:
20120117389, May 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/293257
Inventors:
Luis SARMENTA - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
NOKIA CORPORATION - Espoo
International Classification:
G06F 21/22
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
713190, 340 561
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining and using a configuration of a composite object. A method may include receiving information emitted by one or more tags in one or more objects of a composite object. The method may further include determining, based at least in part on the received information, at least a partial configuration of the composite object. The method may additionally include using the determined at least a partial configuration of the composite object as an input to alter an application state. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

Method And Apparatus For Providing Information Collection Using Template-Based User Tasks

US Patent:
20130159040, Jun 20, 2013
Filed:
Dec 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/328238
Inventors:
Luis Sarmenta - Menlo Park CA, US
Deepti Chafekar - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Nokia Corporation - Espoo
International Classification:
G06Q 10/06
A63F 9/24
US Classification:
705 715, 705 713, 463 43
Abstract:
An approach is provided for providing information collection using template-based user tasks. The collection platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of partial information for insertion into one or more task templates to cause, at least in part, creation of one or more user tasks to verify, to extend, or a combination thereof the partial information according to one or more system requirements for information. Next, the collection platform causes, at least in part, a distribution of the one or more user tasks based, at least in part, on the one or more system requirements, history information relating to participation of one or more users, or a combination thereof.

Methods, Apparatuses And Computer Program Products For Using Near Field Communication To Implement Games & Applications On Devices

View page
US Patent:
20120077593, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
Aug 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/211864
Inventors:
Luis Francisco Sarmenta - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
A63F 9/24
US Classification:
463 40
Abstract:
A game kit of components for playing an electronic game or application and an apparatus and method of using the components of the game kit is provided. The game kit may include a plurality of near field communication game pieces including one or more items of data. At least one of the near field communication game pieces is configured to enable transmission of the items of data, via a near field communication, to a device to enable the device to decode the data and translate at least one item of the data to at least one item of virtual data that is included in an electronic game or an application currently being displayed. The near field communication may direct the transmission of the data to the device in response to a detection of the device entering a proximity of the game piece.

US Patent:
20120077584, Mar 29, 2012
Filed:
Sep 24, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/889956
Inventors:
Luis Francisco Sarmenta - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
463 31, 463 40, 463 43
Abstract:
An apparatus for using Near Field Communication to facilitate implementation of an electronic game or application may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including receiving data from a device via a Near Field Communication. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine whether the received data was previously detected and translate the received data to correspond to at least one item of virtual data relating to the electronic game or the application in response to determining that the received data is being detected for the first time. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to enable display of the item of virtual data in a virtual world of the electronic game or the application. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

Crowdsourcing Translations

View page
US Patent:
20180052833, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Oct 5, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/726122

- Menlo Park CA, US
Luis Francisco Sarmenta - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/28
H04L 29/08
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing, by one or more of the computing devices, one or more translations for each text string of a plurality of text strings; determining, by one or more of the computing devices, a priority value for each text string of the plurality of text strings, wherein the priority value for the text string is based on one or more reliability-values of the one or more translations for the text string; selecting, by one or more of the computing devices, a particular text string from the plurality of text strings based on its priority value; and sending, to a client system, instructions configured to present a translation prompt comprising the particular text string.
