Generating synchronized interactive link maps linking tracked video objects to other multimedia content in real-time

InactiveUS20090083815A1Facilitate product advertisingGreat product awarenessTwo-way working systemsSelective content distributionPattern recognitionComputer graphics (images)
The method, system and computer program product generate online interactive maps linking tracked objects (in a live or pre-recorded video sequence) to multimedia content in real time. Specifically, an object tracking and link generation (OTLG) utility allows a user to access multimedia content by clicking on moving (or still) objects within the frames of a video (or image) sequence. The OTLG utility identifies and stores a clear image(s) of an object or of multiple objects to be tracked and initiates a mechanism to track the identified objects over a sequence of video or image frames. The OTLG utility utilizes the results of the tracking mechanism to generate, for each video frame, an interactive map frame with interactive links placed in the map frame at a location corresponding to the object's tracked location in each video frame.

Systems and methods that use search queries to identify related lists

Information retrieval systems and methods are disclosed for presenting items of interest to a user of a computer-based data repository, where the items are presented in the form of lists generated by other users. Users of a data repository may generate lists of items from the repository that are accessible by other users. In various embodiments, users generating lists may add supplemental commentary about the items and other personalizing information. The information retrieval systems and methods store the user-generated lists for future presentation to other users. When a user of the data repository submits a search query, items returned in the query's results are interpreted to be items of interest to the user, and in response, one or more lists determined to be similar to the items of interest are presented to the user.

Methods and systems for indicating invisible contents of workspace

Techniques for displaying contextual information in clipped views of two-dimensional workspaces are provided. A method for indicating an object includes: providing a workspace having a viewed space and a populated space, the viewed space being delineated by a border; determining an object in the populated space; determining a direction of the object from the viewed space; and indicating the object with an indicator on the border of the viewed space in the direction of the object. The distance of the object may determine the appearance of the indicator. The indicator may also show a user's interest. An object indicating system includes: an object determination circuit that determines an object in a populated space and a direction of the object from a viewed space; and an indicator mapping block that indicates the object with an indicator on a border of the viewed space in the direction of the object.

Intelligent multi-channel targeted telecommunications advertisement campaign manager

The present invention is a system and method to enable advertisement subsidized telecommunications services, which can deliver a campaign comprised of multiple advertisements, each advertisement using a different format (text, audio and video), to user's different terminals (cell phone, soft phone, PDA, PC, etc.) by using different telecommunications channels (text message, phone call, multimedia message, ring tone) simultaneously. The system is comprised of three layers: a campaign manager to manage campaign state, a service logic, which determines the user population and the channel best matching each advertisement's content and format, and a channel manager which emulates a confederation of service applications to simultaneously tap into various telecommunications channels through a Service Delivery Platform (SDP), or by directly attaching to the operator's network.

Articles of apparel providing enhanced body position feedback

ActiveUS20090133181A1Heightened tactile feelEnhances wearer 's “ feel ”UndergarmentsProtective garmentSensory FeedbacksMuscle memory
Articles of apparel include: (a) a garment structure having one or more fabric elements structured and arranged to provide a close fit to at least one predetermined portion of a body (e.g., area(s) of the body for which enhanced position sensing and / or feedback are desired); and (b) a body position feedback system engaged with or integrally formed as part of the garment structure. The body position feedback system may apply higher tensile or constricting (compressive) forces to selected portions of the wearer's body and / or stretch resistance, which can help stimulate or interact with nerves and deep tissue receptors located in various portions of the body. The increased forces at selected locations of the body give the wearer sensory feedback regarding the position or orientation of these parts of the body and can improve or accelerate development of “muscle memory.”

Information retrieval systems and methods that use user-defined lists to identify related offerings

Information retrieval systems and methods are disclosed for presenting items of interest to a user of a computer-based data repository, where the items are presented in the form of lists generated by other users. Users of a data repository may generate lists of items from the repository that are accessible by other users. In various embodiments, users generating lists may add supplemental commentary about the items and other personalizing information. The information retrieval systems and methods store the user-generated lists for future presentation to other users. The online activities of a user of the data repository are monitored, and, in response to the user indicating an interest in an item, one or more lists determined to be similar to the indicated item are presented to the user.

Vehicle wash control system

A control system for vehicle wash bays, including one or more controllers, control lines to plural wash bays, and one or more communication links to a common communication hub (e.g., an Ethernet hub) for said controllers. The controllers communicate with plural pay stations for the plural wash bays over the communication links using the common communication hub, and the controllers control the plural wash bays using the control lines responsive to communication with the pay stations. In some embodiments, a computer also communicates with the controllers and with the pay stations over the communication links using the common communication hub.

Bandwidth estimation

A bandwidth estimation in a resource of a data communication system. After a data unit in a data flow has been received, a recent pulse density for the data flow over a period that includes the received data unit and starts from a time point that precedes the received data unit in the flow is computed. An overall pulse density is computed based on the computed recent pulse density and a previous overall pulse density computed earlier for the data flow. The computation of the overall pulse density is based on values of the computed recent pulse density and the previous overall pulse density. The values are weighted relative to each other. The used bandwidth is estimated based on the weighted overall pulse density.
