Title: Method and apparatus for targeting of interactive virtual objects
Inventor: HENDRICKS JOHN S
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2002-10-10
Granted: 2012-01-24
Abstract: A method and an apparatus are used to target interactive virtual objects to subscribers in a television delivery system. Programs are selected and virtual object locations are defined in the selected programs. The virtual objects (1265) available for targeting categorized and categories are correlated to subscriber information (1210) to determine the optimum targeting of the virtual objects (1260). The virtual objects may be targeted (1220) based on individual subscriber information (1210) or on information related to a group of subscribers. When a frame of program includes a virtual object location, a default or an alternate virtual objects is displayed. The virtual object location may change over space or time. The virtual object may be interactive, and may be used to link a subscriber to a remote location, such as an Internet web site. The television terminals record which virtual objects were displayed and report this information back to the headends and the operations center. The reported information is used to generate billing for commercial advertisers and to analyze viewer watching habits.

Abstract: Système et procédé qui limitent la transmission de rayonnement d'un dispositif électromagnétique sans fil à travers les fenêtres d'une enveloppe externe d'une plate-forme mobile. La plate-forme mobile comprend au moins une fenêtre sur une enveloppe externe. Une couche de blindage est appliquée à la fenêtre et mise à la terre électriquement à l'enveloppe extérieure. Au moins un moyeu émetteur-récepteur est situé à l'intérieur de la plate-forme mobile pour la réception et/ou l'émission de rayonnement du dispositif électromagnétique. Un dispositif de communication embarqué communique sans fil avec l'émetteur-récepteur moyeu. La couche de blindage atténue une partie du rayonnement entrant en contact avec la fenêtre. On peut donc utiliser seulement une voie de communication entre le moyeu émetteur-récepteur et le dispositif de communication intégré. La transmission et/ou la réception du dispositif sans fil par l'intermédiaire d'un trajet de fenêtre est bloquée efficacement par la couche de blindage, ce qui réduit le potentiel de perturbation des systèmes électriques à plate-forme mobile et d'interférence avec des systèmes de communication au sol.

Abstract: An approach is provided for supporting carrier synchronization in a digital broadcast and interactive system (100). A carrier synchronization module (302) receives one or more signals representing a frame that includes one or more overhead fields (e.g., preamble and optional pilot blocks and one or multiple segments separated by pilot blocks).  The module (302) estimates carrier frequency and phase on a segment by segment basis and tracks frequency-between segments. Carrier phase of the signal is estimated based upon the overhead field. Estimates earner phase of random data field are determined based upon the estimated phase values from the overhead fields, and upon both the past and future data signals. Further, the frequency of the signal is estimated based upon the overhead fields and/or the random data field. The above arrangement is particularly suited to a digital satellite broadcast and interactive system (100).

Abstract: Lorsqu'une opération de démarrage d'enregistrement est effectuée en mode d'enregistrement variable, ST44 sélectionne un signal de fréquence de trames variable pour un signal d'image à fréquence de trames de sortie prédéterminée comprenant une image à fréquence de trames variable en fonction d'un signal valable, et mémorise le signal dans une image. Lorsque ST46 juge que la différence de phase entre les positions d'écriture en mémoire et de lecture de mémoire a atteint le niveau de démarrage d'enregistrement, ST47 enregistre le signal mémorisé sur un support d'enregistrement. Lorsque ST48 juge que la différence de phase est réduite à un niveau d'arrêt d'enregistrement, ST49 arrête l'enregistrement sur le support d'enregistrement. Lors de l'opération d'arrêt, le signal en mémoire est enregistré sur le support d'enregistrement dans ST51 avant la fin de l'opération. Etant donné que les signaux sont sélectionnés lorsqu'ils sont enregistrés, la quantité de signaux est faible. De plus, lorsque la fréquence de trames est modifiée, l'effet vidéo ne peut être vérifié que par reproduction du signal enregistré.

Granted: 2013-04-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the data rate of a reverse link communication of an access terminal includes receiving a reverse activity bit (RAB) from an access point in the communication system, and passing the RAB to a digital filter to produce a filtered RAB. The reverse link data rate is determined based on the filtered value of the RAB. Furthermore, a processor in the access terminal may determine whether the access terminal is in an idle mode, and passing a non-busy state value of the RAB to the digital filter when the access terminal is in the idle mode. The filtered RA may be compared to a threshold to determine a mode of reverse link data rate determination. The mode defines a set of criteria for an aggressiveness level of increasing or decreasing the reverse link communication data rate. The processor, therefore, determines the data rate based on the filtered reverse activity bit in accordance with the determined mode.

Abstract: A lens for a wet environment lighting device that has a fixture with an interior that has an opening, and at least one light source located within the fixture interior. Light from the light source proceeds out through the opening. The lens is for location in front of the fixture and the light source located therein and the lens encloses the opening from the wet environment. The lens has a first light-directing area for directing light in a first beam pattern. The lens also has a second light-directing area, distinct from the first light- directing area, for directing light in a second beam pattern, distinct from the first beam pattern. The lens is positioned relative to fixture and light source therein to select from the distinct beam patterns based on the alignment of the light- directing areas relative to the light source resulting from a positioning of the lens.
