Systems and methods for providing and processing print-augmented broadcast signals

Patent number: 9021520
Abstract: A process for providing a print-augmented broadcast signal for transmission to one or more convention broadcast receiver includes receiving a broadcast signal comprising (i) standard content for a particular broadcast program and (ii) a non-content portion. Supplemental content which is associated with the standard content of the particular broadcast program is additionally received. Next, the supplemental content is combined onto the non-content portion of the broadcast signal to form a print-augmented broadcast signal, the print-augmented broadcast signal comprising the standard content, which can be rendered on a conventional broadcast receiver, and the supplemental content, which is printable on-demand at a destination conventional broadcast receiver substantially concurrently with the rendering of the standard content.

Patent number: 8560654
Abstract: A system for providing a change management service (CM) to at least one client therein is provided. The system includes a peer-to-peer (P2P) system imposed on the network system, wherein the at least one client is a peer in the P2P system, a syndication feed operable to provide a notification of the CM service to the at least one client, and at least one host operable as a source in the P2P system to provide the CM service to the at least one client through the imposed P2P system.

Patent number: 8254579
Abstract: Cryptographic keys are distributed to computer systems to be remotely managed by a management node. First secure channels are established between the management node and trusted computing platforms associated with the computer systems. Cryptographic keys are sent to the trusted computing platforms via the first secure channels, wherein the cryptographic keys are stored in the trusted computing platforms and retrieved from the trusted computing platforms by the computer systems. Second secure channels are established with the computer systems using the retrieved cryptographic keys. Commands are remotely executed on one or more of the computer systems via the second secure channels.

Patent number: 8108508
Abstract: A network device includes a web server chip that is connectable to a computer network. The web server chip includes an embedded processor that is programmable to function as a manageability web server, obtain manageability information about the network device and send the manageability to a network manager. The web server chip further includes an interface for communicating with an I2C bus in the network device. The embedded processor is programmable to obtain manageability information about devices connected to the I2C bus. The embedded processor is also programmable to control fan controllers, power supply controllers and other controllers connected to the I2C bus. This, in turn, allows a network manager to command the web server chip to remotely power up and power down the network device. Thus, the web server chip can perform network management functions without burdening the host processor of the network device.

Application number: 20090282430
Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting viewership data of television and radio broadcast programs. The methods include receiving an AV signal of a broadcast program and supplementary content which contains a tag identifying the broadcast program. The supplementary content is combined with the AV signal to form a data-augmented signal which is subsequently modulated with a carrier signal to form a transmit signal for broadcasting to receivers. Each receiver includes a decoder for extracting the supplementary content and recording the tag identity and time the tag is received. The recorded information is subsequently output to an electronic device or sent directly to a viewership data collection entity.

Application number: 20070237106
Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering program related contents to electronic devices using existing broadcast networks. The methods include receiving a program signal of a program content and supplementary content which is associated thereto, combining the supplementary content with the program signal to form a data-augmented signal which is subsequently modulated with a carrier signal for broadcasting to conventional broadcast receivers. At the receiver, the supplementary content is recovered and delivered to the electronic devices at substantially the same time as the program content is rendered at the receivers.

Patent number: 6571388
Abstract: A system for creating a custom environment for executing application programs in a target device. The system broadens the applicability of software environments like Java by providing custom pre-loaded classes for application programs and by customizing the procedures for class loading to the available resources in the target device. The system includes tools for generating a pre-load class list that specifies a set of classes needed to support the application program. The tools build the custom environment including a set of code for a virtual machine and a set of code for each of a set of pre-loaded classes specified in the pre-load class list. The virtual machine loads classes from the pre-loaded classes, a file system class library, and/or a networked class library using widely available network protocols.

Patent number: 6373841
Abstract: A chip for a device such as a computer includes a media access controller and an embedded processor. The embedded processor is programmed to function as a web server and provide network manageability information to a network manager. The embedded processor is also programmed to function as a LAN controller. When a packet is received by the media access controller, the embedded processor examines a destination address of the packet and routes the packet to an appropriate end point. Packets having a first unique destination address are routed to a host interface (and eventually to a host processor), and packets having a second unique address are routed to the embedded processor-functioning-as-web server. Thus, the chip allows network management and local area network communications to be performed over a single physical interface.

— this is how I used it in a demo —-

$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
headers: { ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’: ‘*’ },
url: “http://textbelt.com/text”,
data: “&number=” + “4086058889″ + “&message=” + “Occupancy has exceeded the limit”,
success: function(info) {
console.log(‘sms sent’ + JSON.stringify(info));
},
error: function(info) {
// Or log error if POST fails.
console.log(‘Ajax POST failed:’+JSON.stringify(info));
}
});

Arduino Ethernet

Dec. 23, 2008

Got the Arudino Ethernet board.  Attached it to Arduino Diecimila board.

Set the ip[]={ 192.168.1.77 };

Used the Arduino-12 software and ran the Sketchbook-Examples-Library-Ethernet-WebServer.

This responds to the web request by displaying the following:

analog input 0 is 301
analog input 1 is 316
analog input 2 is 312
analog input 3 is 299
analog input 4 is 311
analog input 5 is 321

Reloading the page, shows the new values of the ADC values.

Human Interruptibility

Reading up on more stuff on Sensors, detection and context

“Examining Task Engagement in Sensor-Based Statistical Models of Human Interruptibility” – James Fogarty, et. al.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/Web/People/jfogarty/publications/chi2005.pdf

This is a paper on interrupting at inappropriate times a office worker.  They discuss a way to automatically extract features from low level events (in a restricted work environment)

Related older paper (2003)

“Predicting Human Interruptibility with Sensors: A Wizard of Oz Feasibility Study”

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/Web/People/jfogarty/publications/chi2003.pdf
