Although it sounds absurd, but innovation is something that characterizes the technology, Microsoft has filled out the forms to get the patent for "to turn the virtual page."

So, with the number 20100175018 in the Patent and Trademark Office, Microsoft seeks patent animation when you flipped the page in a virtual book, using the appropriate flick on the screen. That's how Microsoft describes it in his attempt to patent:

"A gesture of turning the page is directed to the page displayed and it is recognized. Responding to that recognition, he turns the page on the touch screen device ... The virtual page is folded in a part of the page to show progressively the other side of the page and go showing also, increasingly, the front of the subsequent page ... A page-turning gesture can turn quickly to two or more pages. "




And this is what it is: it is essential that the animation is when, for example, are used Apple iBooks for IPAD and the iPhone, Kindle or a device with touch screen, Stanza on the iPhone, Aldiko in Android and presumably others.

Turn your finger to move forward or backward on a page. This type of animation simulating a book has been done many times. What we have not seen is the ability to move several pages at a time, for example. Microsoft's vision in this regard is the ability to move in multiple pages by moving your finger down on the right. "Thus, the relationship between speed of the gesture and the resulting speed of page turning may be linear, exponential, or any other suitable type of relationship," the form of the patent.

The patent, which was filled in January 2009 but was released just last Thursday, may have been the result of Microsoft's work in his Courier, the tablet computer, which Redmond eventually close in April. When this happened, a spokesman for Microsoft, Freank Shaw said: "In every moment we are looking for new ideas, researching, testing, incubating them."




If "a virtual page-turning" is an example of a "new idea" by Redmond, years of Ballmer at the company are not showing the latest in the 35-year history of Microsoft.

There are, of course, a slight possibility that this patent is granted, which would make Microsoft put an any kind of problems Apple, Amazon and others who have already animations of this nature in their applications, though this is remote.

Note that Microsoft states, on page 11 of the form, that the discussion of methods to provide information to the device, "could use other sources than to run your fingers around a page to another." We leave the reader the implications of this potential capacity to your imagination.

Kinect




Sometimes it is better to hang out the enemy to fight with him, is that after checking the constant hacking Kinect has suffered since its release, Microsoft has decided to bring its developer tools to Windows 7.

It really is a story that I knew and anticipated, but it is good to know that the tools will officially operating system from Microsoft in spring as a free download as we read on his official blog.


Imagine that with the support of Microsoft and an environment as widespread as Windows, Kinect opportunities will multiply. We must bear in mind that when you release the libraries, the development and use are reduced to a personal level, but the really interesting news is that it will become a commercial product in the not too distant future.

A gestural possibilities Windows will provide us Kinect cameras, but also voice recognition technology, both details that can charge a special interest in a complex operating system, and who knows if in the future will develop an interface adapted to peripheral.

The invention of the Israelis PrimeSense think will go a long way in the coming years, I remember that Asus also opted to bring the technology to PC with Wavi Xtion, opting to give importance to the development tools.

We also know that there are anonymous agreements with major manufacturers to get televisions and other devices in the room. As curiosity I remember that technology passed earlier by the hands of Apple, but no agreement was reached, the rest of the story we already know ...

books e-books amazon Authors alliance was slow digital libraries Digital





Authors of books announced a partnership in direct opposition to virtual libraries of the famous browser.

Although the authors and publishers are no longer opposed to the digital library from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Amazon announced on August 21 the formation of the Alliance Open Book.
And they decided to accuse the form of anticompetitive practices in the federal courts of the United States, these companies plan to stop the project and cancel the agreement had been reached.

In addition to these large companies a growing group of critics has complained about the legal agreement of Google, but none had the strength that apparently could have the Partnership's most famous technology companies in the world.
In 2005, shortly after the company announced its plans, received a demand from the Association of American Publishers and the Authors Guild, for violations of copyright.
The court did not decide whether the companies were guilty or not, because after years of negotiations, the companies agreed to pay 125 million dollars in exchange for the right to publish excerpts from books.

The arrival of the case to court will get to know the arguments on both sides, that for now only known in outline:
From Google's point of view, the proposed service will make more people have access to more books and thereby increase their knowledge. But from the standpoint of the other three companies, the deal could eliminate competitors in the young market for digital books.
The agreement between Google and booksellers associations will be reviewed by U.S. District Judge Denny Chin on 7 October in New York City.
