The electronic device may include a sensing mechanism operative to detect the user's position relative a display of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may include a camera operative to detect the position of the user's head. Using the detected position, the electronic device may be operative to transform displayed objects such that the displayed perspective reflects the detected position of the user. The electronic device may use any suitable approach for modifying a displayed object, including for example a parallax transform or a perspective transform. In some embodiments, the electronic device may overlay the environment detected by the sensing mechanism (e.g., by a camera) to provide a more realistic experience for the user (e.g., display a reflection of the image detected by the camera on reflective surfaces of a displayed object).

A slot machine includes a reel assembly which has a transparent outer reel and a translucent inner reel disposed coaxially within the outer reel. The outer and inner reels are provided with first exterior surfaces on their periphery, and with second exterior surfaces on their side surfaces. The outer and inner reels are driven independently by a respective motor. In performing a first game, the side surfaces are horizontal so that first outer symbols and first inner symbols carried on each of the first exterior surfaces may be observable. In performing a second game, the side surfaces are perpendicular so that second outer symbols and second inner symbols carried on each of the second exterior surfaces may be observable. Symbol combinations are produced by synthesizing the symbols on the outer reel and the symbols on the inner reel.

[Object] It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily select a desired image from stored images in a terminal device with a display function such as a cell phone.[Constitution] If a display state is switched to a second display state after one of files is selected from a list of thumbnail images M5 in a first display state, a display controller 110 executes a comparison mode. In the comparison mode, the display controller 110 displays a magnified image M7 of the selected file on a first display area 11a at a size suitable for the number of magnified images M7 displayed on the first display area 11a at that time, i.e., at such a size that the magnified images M7 can just stay within the first display area 11a as large as possible.

In the palms of the user, the backside keyboard can be used with transparent viewing of the finger input. The sides of the keyboard are ergonomically shaped to position the hands properly, give better control of the keyboard while also making it easier to enter data.

Module adaptable to communicate with a suitable handheld devices or PDAs. Suitable devices include, but are not limited to, the Apple iPhone® or iPod®, Research in Motion Blackberry® smart phones, Motorola Droid smart phones, and Palm Pre smart phones. The module can be used without adding to the cost of the handheld device. This allows direct reimbursement for the replaceable meter module portion if payers choose to limit coverage for the full system, as well as the possibility of reimbursement for the entire system including the handheld device. Other solutions build the cost into the phone, which must be replaced to upgrade or replace the glucose function. Moreover, information from the glucose meter reading can be communicated from the PDA to a remote station for reporting the results. With an iPod-like approach, this could be accomplished without the need for a cellular signal or carrier, as long as a WiFi internet connection is available anywhere in the world.

A system and method are described for selectively providing display data to a display device dependent upon an optically detected proximity of a user's face to a camera. One embodiment of a computer system includes the camera, the display device, and a processing system. The camera produces image signals representing a first image and a second image of the user's face, wherein the first image precedes the second image in time. The processing system receives the image signals and analyzes the first and second images to determine the proximity of the user's face to the camera. More specifically, the processing system compares the first and second images to determine the proximity of the user's face to the camera in the second image relative to the proximity of the user's face in the first image. The processing system provides the display data to the display device dependent upon the proximity of the user's face to the camera. In order to determine the proximity of the user's face to the camera, the processing system may compare: (i) a size of the user's face in the first and second images, and / or (ii) a distance between selected facial features of the user in the first and second images. The processing system may provide more of the display data to the display device when the user's face is closer to the camera, and may provide less of the display data to the display device when the user's face is farther from the camera.

A system and method provides a tabbed user interface in which labels may be used to select one of a plurality of data elements, but only the selected label is displayed with a tab, the other labels being displayed without a tab. Feedback, such as by underlining a label when the user hovers the mouse over it, is provided to allow the user to identify that an action will occur if one of the non-tabbed labels is clicked.

Advertising segments are valued and placed on a platform based on competitive bidding. Publishers having available advertising space allow access to the space via an intermediary. The intermediary accepts bids from potential advertisers, ranks the bids and awards allocated segments to the bidders according to the rankings. Payments for the placement of advertising may be made on a per-display basis, on a per click-through or on a per transaction basis. Advertisers will have some level of access to the advertising space. The higher the bid amount, then the higher percentage of access is given to the advertising space for an advertiser's advertisements.

Mechanisms for a messaging application program (e.g., an e-mail or instant messaging application program) to render information on a display. A server may download different template sets (or the client may otherwise access such template sets) to different client computing systems. Each template is usable by the messaging application program at the respective client to render a display screen in accordance with the display capabilities and / or the user display preferences and settings of the respective client computing system. The messaging application program is allowed to stay the same, while variances due to different display capabilities and / or user display preferences and settings are accommodated by the different template sets.
