    摘要: A dynamic, flexible and intuitive task-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented on network accessible hand-held mobile devices. A mobile hand-held device is characterized by limited screen size and fewer input keys compared to a keyboard. In a home network environment, such mobile hand-held devices act as remote control devices for home devices. Typical examples of such remote control device are universal remote control and cell phone. In one implementation the GUI provides techniques for displaying large amounts of data using a small screen. The GUI also presents a technique for making the user aware of current abstract available options and smoothly guiding his current intention into a task selection that the remote control can understand and execute on.

    摘要: A task access system implements a methodology that facilitates one to explore and execute tasks possible in a network such as a home network environment. The system provides interfaces to access task information and supports several types of functionalities that help in customization of the task information based on the requesting user's state/context. The system supports composing a task request in different ways. It allows a task request to be composed and executed in an incremental fashion or at one-go, thus enabling user interface applications to be flexible. When a user requests to know the tasks available in the network, the system applies security policies and more user context information to customize and prioritize the tasks available for each user and ensures that the user interface application does not display tasks that are not executable by the user. Further, the system dynamically updates the user interface application based on the user input and any changes in the network environment, such as addition or removal of devices/services, thus ensuring only meaningful information is displayed to the user. In addition, the user is updated with the newly possible tasks and the ones no longer available. By dynamically updating the choices available for the user, the system effectively guides the user input.

    摘要: A method and system for providing persistent media across Web pages using only browser plug-ins. Media selected through a Web browser can play in a way that is embedded in the content, but the media can continue to play while Web pages transition. The content providers benefit from the flexibility of content use, while the user can enjoy playing media without interruptions. The media can stop persisting when the content provider so chooses.

    摘要: A method and system that implement a process for managing video information on a video recording device. The management process involves receiving a video input signal including a video stream, obtaining content information corresponding to the video stream, associating the content information with the video stream, and storing the video stream and associated content information in a database as a searchable index for the video stream. The searchable index includes location of the stored video stream and identifies the associated content information. Then, content information from an input signal corresponding to a video stream is captured for analysis and searching the index to identify stored video streams related to the video program for suggestion to the user.

    摘要: A synchronization controller in a network of devices, provides content synchronization between the available content in the network and the content on another device. When the synchronization controller identifies the device for content synchronization with the home network, the synchronization controller attempts to match the device's content with content available in the home network. When there is a mismatch, the content manager starts a content session to transfer content from the device to the home network, or vice versa. During this process, the device need not know which home device it synchronized to, nor does it need to know what kind of format the content is stored in.
