Abstract:
A system for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the system comprising satellite feeds (2003) broadcasting means (2002, 2004), a set top box (2005), a Smart-IB box (2006) capable of sending and receiving data/content, a central server capable of interpreting received data/content from Smart-IB, a communication network having interactive means coupled with world wide web (2008), a display screen (2007) having display means operable to display data/information. A method for remote control of live TV capability for TV screens, the method comprising the steps of receiving a schedule to record and/or relay set top box content, forwarding desired frequency to remote signal inducing means (RSIM), generating infrared (IR) signal, interpreting infrared (IR) signal by set top box, changing audio-video (AV) output as per the schedule list, recording/relaying audio-video (AV) output.
Abstract:
A video layer effects processing system which receives normal video and special effects information on separate layers has been presented. The system selectively mixes various video layers to transmit a composite video signal for a video display such as a television, or a virtual reality system. Special effects include spotlights, zooming, etc. Additional special effects such as shaping of objects and ghost effects are created by masking and superimposing selected video layers. The selective mixing, for example, to enable or disable, strengthen or weaken, or otherwise arrange special effects, can be directed from a remote source or locally by a user through real-time control or prior setup. The video layer effects processing system can also be incorporated into a set-top-box or a local consumer box.
Abstract:
A system and method for tagging of content/data for display on a display screen, the system comprising World Wide Web connected to a central server through connecting means, smart IBs capable of sending and receiving data/content, a display media device having interactive means in as short range wireless network, administrators system to schedule data/content.
Abstract:
A system and method for inserting a regional advertisement and a local television content under centralized control. The system includes a user interface for receiving a media plan from an advertiser. The system also includes a media server including a memory and a processor to insert at least one of a local television content and a regional advertisement from a centralized studio. Further, the system includes one or more edge devices for fetching and inserting at least one of the local television content and the regional advertisement into a central network feed for a pre-determined time period. The method includes fetching a local television content from a local storage device, specifying a pre-determined time period within the central network feed and inserting the local television content for the pre-determined time period into the central network feed. The system implementing the method is implemented for radio content and advertising.
Abstract:
System and method for creating networked short range zone through remote delivery of short range proxy server on a remotely located machine, the method comprising the steps of registering with the system network, receiving a unique ID, accessing the server for further processing, downloading the relevant application with enabling means, connecting a device to short range dongles, running the application and registering the device using the unique ID, entering the location based and/or other relevant information, enabling the device for creating networked short range zone.
Abstract:
A system and method for implementing an interactive session between a display equipment and a handheld electronic device is provided. The system has a display screen operable to display a data/information, a telecommunication network coupled with a local area network and a world wide web, a smart-IB box capable of sending and receiving a data/information, a system server capable of interpreting the received messages from the Smart-IB and a user's mobile phone. The method involves detecting a request by a mobile phone, initiating a user preferred schedule for pushing a data/information in response to the request, determining the installation of an interactive interface to access the various options available through the menus, receiving and processing the request, sorting the request for a scheduled data/information, relaying and displaying the scheduled data/information in accordance with a preferred schedule.

Abstract:
Methods and systems of selection of content based on demographics and/or psychographics of a group from a remote central location through local commands on an input device from content that is sourced from the internet and/or a central database are provided. The system comprises Internet (101), central server (102), plurality of connecting means (103), plurality of smart IBs (104), plurality of screen IDs (105) and plurality of engagement means (106). The system initalizes display media screens with IDs (105), initalizes database with content stored in central server (102), receives information fed through the engagement means (106), updates the database according to the information and schedules data/content according to psychographic and/or demographic content stored in the database for a different region.
Abstract:
A video processing system includes at least one video source, a region selecting unit, a subtracting unit and a display unit. The region-selecting unit selects the user-defined region of interest from the video source. The subtracting unit subtracts the required region, selected by the region selecting unit. The output of the subtracting unit is provided to the display unit, which displays the required output. In one embodiment, when video data is received from a plurality of video sources, the selecting of user defined regions of interest from the video sources is supported. The region subtracting unit can be used to subtract the required region of interest from video data and it is displayed on the display unit. In other embodiments of invention, the display unit displays on overlay of two unrelated video streams.
