    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a controller such as a cable television company receives a survey including survey questions from a client desiring to have a survey conducted. The controller creates respondent questions based on the survey questions. The controller also selects one or more respondents from a group of respondents requesting to participate in a survey. The respondent questions are transmitted to the selected respondents via a television transmission network, e.g., a cable television transmission network. Responses corresponding to the respondent questions are received. The controller applies an inconsistency test to the responses to generate an inconsistency test result. The inconsistency test determines if the responses originate from computers or humans not paying attention to the questions. Based on the inconsistency test result, a fraud signal may be generated. The fraud signal may result in several actions, such as the controller ignoring the responses received from the corresponding respondent, reducing or eliminating payment to the respondent, transmitting a message of reprimand to the respondent, and/or barring the respondent from future participation in surveys.

    Abstract: User interface systems access media data stored in a database through a server that presents to the interface a selection menu for selecting media data. Upon selection of media data the server accesses the data from the database and transmits it to an in-room system. The media data may be transmitted by downloading the data to an intermediate system, playing the data at the intermediate system and outputting the data to the in-room system through a communications line. The media data may also be transmitted by streaming the data to the in-room system through a communications line. The server may present to the in-room system a purchase menu through which media data may be purchased, an activation menu through which communication between the in-room system and the server may be established for a fixed period of time and a radio menu through which programmed media-data channels may be accessed.

    Abstract: A plurality of media data, including audio data or audio/video data, are stored in a central database. A plurality of in-room, user interface systems access the media data through a central server. The central server presents to the in-room system a selection menu through which at least one of the media data may be selected. Upon selection of a media data by the user interface, the central server accesses the selected media data from the central database and transmits it to the in-room system. The media data may be transmitted by downloading the data to an intermediate system, playing the media data at the intermediate system and outputting the played media data to the in-room system through a communications line. The media data may also be transmitted by streaming the media data to the in-room system through a communications line. The central server may present to the in-room system any of a number of additional menus including a purchase menu through which the selected media data may be purchased, an activation menu through which communication between the in-room system and the central server may be established for a period of time, a radio menu through which any of a plurality of programmed media-data channels may be accessed and a mood menu through which the brightness of the image displayed on the in-room system video monitor may be affected.

    Abstract: Information providers act as sources of information consisting of a plurality of variable length messages and issue control packets, enabling/disabling packets and data packets. Each data receiver has a unique address as a permanent attribute. The enabling/disabling packets selectively enable or disable a specific data receiver or a specific group of data receivers. Therefore to avoid that the loss of the enabling/disabling packet leads to the loss of the corresponding whole set of packets, each data receiver stores data packets for later use in the re-establishment of the entire set of transmission packets. However, only data packets provided by any FRIEND information provider (i.e. information provider from which the data receiver is authorized to receive information on a selective basis) are managed by the data receiver. Then when, during a re-transmission, a enabling/disabling packet related to the information stored into the data receiver is received, such information is immediately made available to the user of the data receiver, without waiting for its complete re-transmission.

    Abstract: A message output controller (103) which receives continuous pre-recorded advertising messages from a master message playing device and console (101). The system incorporating several controllers (103) and a single console (101) is intended to be installed in a fuel service station, to provide advertising at fuel dispenser pumps. The console (101) plays messages continuously with a tone or the like between each message. The console (101) may include other features such as a public address (PA) system (111 and 113). The controllers (103) each receive the messages, but the messages are not played until a person is proximal, indicated by sensing (141) the nozzle being lifted in the fuel dispenser pump, and the tone or the like indicating a transition between messages being decoded (137). The result is that only complete messages are played at the controller (103). A local message playback device (105) may be included in the message output controller (103), to play a welcome message immediately the nozzle is lifted.

    Abstract: A control information message is communicated from a control information generator and encoder (3) in a server installation (1) to one or more computer installations (2) by encoding the message into a single sequence of a relatively short duration, which is incorporated into an overall audio or video information carrying signal and transmitted to the user computer installation through a wired or wireless transmission media. In the user computer installations the received signal sequence is retrieved from the overall signal and decoded into the original message which is then used to initiate an action controlled by a prestored program in the user computer installation (2).
