A method for providing an embellishment representation of a noise information is discloses. The method comprises measuring a level of the background noise information, wherein the measured level is indicative of a number of people causing the background noise information; determining at least one background noise information characteristic based on the measured background noise information; selecting a dominant one of the determined at least one background noise information characteristic; associating the selected background noise characteristic with a predetermined representation of the selected background noise characteristic; determining a level of the dominant characteristic within the measured level of the background noise information; enhancing the predetermined representation of the selected background noise characteristic based on the determined level of the dominant characteristic within the background noise information; and transmitting the enhanced predetermined representation of the selected background noise characteristic and suppressing the background noise information.

A method, system and computer program product for improving accuracy and experience of a game. Signals are sent from a computer system to appropriate sensors based on a player's or game object's position to activate connected light-emitting fibers that are blended with grass on a playing field. The light-emitting fibers are activated in such a manner to display light to indicate an infraction (e.g., a player was in an offside position), a successful play (e.g., team made a first down), appropriate maneuvers, boundaries for a play, etc., thereby ensuring the game is fair and accurate and enhancing the experience of the game.

Identifying abandoned shopping carts, including: providing shopping carts with locators; associating store areas with zone identifications, and providing store aisles with readers for the locators; associating carts with at least one zone; identifying carts and determining that carts entered new zones; determining an amount of time carts are in zones, and when carts are in an unassociated zone for a specified time, designating carts as abandoned and alerting personnel.

A method, system and computer program product for compensating the environmental motion in handheld devices. A sensor unit is affixed to an object in the environment to detect and measure environmental motion. Upon measuring any detected environmental motion, the sensor unit transmits a value corresponding to the measured environmental motion to one or more handheld devices. Alternatively, the sensor unit may transmit the value corresponding to the measured environmental motion to a unit configured to retransmit the value to one or more handheld devices. Upon receiving the value corresponding to the measured environmental motion, the handheld device cancels this environmental motion from the motion it measured thereby taking into consideration only the motion inputted by the user of the handheld device.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to virtual world management and provide a method, data processing system and computer program product for conversation detection in a virtual world. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for conversation management in a virtual world data processing system can include detecting a sequence of statements from at least two avatars in a virtual world, and locating the avatars in the virtual world, computing a temporal proximity of the statements. The statements can be grouped in the virtual world if the avatars are geographically proximate to one another in the virtual world and if the statements have occurred within a threshold temporal proximity of one another. Thereafter, the grouped statements can be persisted in the virtual world as a conversation.

A computer-implemented method of interlacing responses within an instant messaging (IM) system can include, responsive to a request from a user in an IM session, storing an IM message fragment input by the user and associating the IM message fragment with a message selected from an IM session transcript. The method can include recalling the IM message fragment and outputting, at least in part, the IM message fragment in response to the message.
摘要:
In V2V or other networks in which multiple video feeds are available to a participant, the participant's ability to select a particular video feed for display can be eased through the use of guided scanning. A guided scanning strategy is built based on operator inputs and used to select a particular set of video feeds that are initially shown as a video “slideshow” on the display used by the participant. Each video feed appears only for a limited period of time to enable easy participant review. Once the participant sees a particular video feed of interest, that video feed to can be selected for persisted presentation on the display.
摘要:
Methods and systems of managing feed items may involve receiving a feed item and determining an estimate of an amount of time to read the feed item. In addition, the feed item can be prioritized in a feed aggregator based at least in part on the estimate of the amount of time to read the feed item.
摘要:
An application includes functionality for dynamically modifying controls based on readme documentation content after the development of the application is substantially complete. A developer marks up a documentation file to include references to graphical user interface controls. The application generates a registry that stores associations between the documentation content and the affected controls. The application then modifies the properties of the affected controls to alter presentation or at least one behavior of each affected control. When the application creates an instance of an affected control, the control includes the modified presentation or behavior.
