Abstract: A single device that receives communications, resources, data, and/or other information intended for a user having multiple contact addresses is provided. The single device can receive various information intended for multiple telephone numbers, email aliases, screen names, aliases, other means of contact, or combinations thereof. The device can selectively forward the information to the user based on a current user role, user preferences, contact information, or based on other criteria. If information is to be forwarded to the user at substantially the same time as receipt, automatic means of notifying the user of the role for which the communication is intended are provided.

Abstract translation: 提供了接收用于具有多个联系人地址的用户的通信，资源，数据和/或其他信息的单个设备。 单个设备可以接收针对多个电话号码，电子邮件别名，屏幕名称，别名，其他联系方式或其组合的各种信息。 该设备可以基于当前用户角色，用户偏好，联系人信息或基于其他标准来选择性地将信息转发给用户。 如果在与接收的基本相同的时间将信息转发给用户，则提供通知用户该通信所针对的角色的自动装置。

Abstract: A pluggable file-based DRM (digital rights management) API (application program interface) layer for applications and engines. The invention defines a pluggable file-based DRM API layer such that mobile operators can choose to use any file-based DRM (FDRM) engine in their final product. An FDRM engine can be content agnostic (e.g., can range from an executable to a media file or ring-tone). In accordance with the invention, an application can become DRM aware by calling the novel file-based DRM APIs. Any FDRM engine can be plugged into the novel API layer such that applications can use the protected content. The API layer of the subject invention can be designed such that applications that are DRM aware by using the file-based DRM API layer can be DRM engine agnostic.

Abstract translation: 用于应用和引擎的可插入文件的DRM（数字版权管理）API（应用程序接口）层。 本发明定义了基于可插入文件的DRM API层，使得移动运营商可以选择在其最终产品中使用任何基于文件的DRM（FDRM）引擎。 FDRM引擎可以是内容不可知的（例如，可以从可执行文件到媒体文件或铃声）。 根据本发明，通过调用基于新颖的基于文件的DRM API，应用可以变得DRM感知。 任何FDRM引擎都可以插入到新颖的API层中，以便应用程序可以使用受保护的内容。 可以设计本发明的API层，使得通过使用基于文件的DRM API层来DRM感知的应用可以是DRM引擎不可知的。

Abstract: Multimedia content is streamed over a network system from a server computer to a client computer. The client allows a user to enter a variable playback speed and varies the speed at which the multimedia content is rendered at the client. Time-scale modification technology is used to maintain the original pitch of any audio content, thereby maintaining its intelligibility.

Abstract translation: 多媒体内容通过网络系统从服务器计算机流式传输到客户端计算机。 客户端允许用户输入可变播放速度并且改变在客户端处呈现多媒体内容的速度。 使用时间尺度修改技术来维持任何音频内容的原始音调，从而保持其可懂度。

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention provides peripheral awareness of information to a user. The information to be provided is either determined automatically, or specified by the user. Once the information to be provided is determined or specified, it is automatically tracked or watched via at least one conventional communications interface for accessing one or more conventional communications sources. Current information is then automatically dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which minimizes any potential distraction to the user. Determining or specifying, tracking or watching, and providing the information is accomplished using at least one customizable dynamic encapsulated object, a “ticket,” that when paired with a “viewer,” provides peripheral awareness of information to the user. Further, in one embodiment, the tickets are sharable among users, and may be copied, cut, pasted, saved, transmitted, dragged and dropped from web pages, etc., like any other electronic file using conventional techniques.

Abstract translation: 本发明的系统和方法向用户提供信息的周边意识。 要提供的信息是由用户自动确定或指定的。 一旦要提供的信息被确定或指定，则通过至少一个常规通信接口来自动跟踪或观看信息以访问一个或多个常规通信源。 当前信息随后自动动态地提供在交互式外围显示器中，这最小化了对用户的任何潜在的分心。 使用至少一个可定制的动态封装对象（“票证”）来确定或指定，跟踪或观看和提供信息，当与“观众”配对时，向用户提供信息的周边意识。 此外，在一个实施例中，票据在用户之间可共享，并且可以像使用常规技术的任何其他电子文件一样从网页等复制，剪切，粘贴，保存，传送，拖放。

Abstract: A plurality of user-selected annotations are used to define a playlist of media segments corresponding to the annotations. The user-selected annotations and their corresponding media segments are then provided to the user in a seamless manner. A user interface allows the user to alter the playlist and the order of annotations in the playlist. The user interface identifies each annotation by a short subject line.

Abstract: A program distribution system includes a plurality of set-top boxes that receive broadcast programming and segmentation data from content and information providers. The segmentation information indicates portions of programs that are to be included in skimmed or condensed versions of the received programming, and is produced using manual or automated methods. Automated methods include the use of ancillary production data to detect the most important parts of a program. A user interface allows a user to control time scale modification and skimming during playback, and also allows the user to easily browse to different points within the current program.

Abstract: Members working on the same project can access similar resources at substantially the same time to facilitate active participation in the project. A meeting associated with the project can be given a unique identifier that can allow the project members to access a meeting or other content and view similar documents or other content as it is discussed in the meeting. As information is edited, modified, created, etc. the members can selectively be presented with the information. A common repository can provide the members with an area or platform in which the project material can be accessed, discussed or other functions performed by the project members, allowing for collaboration of the project details.

Abstract: A system and method for teleconferencing and recording of meetings. The system uses a variety of capture devices (a novel 360° camera, a whiteboard camera, a presenter view camera, a remote view camera, and a microphone array) to provide a rich experience for people who want to participate in a meeting from a distance. The system is also combined with speaker clustering, spatial indexing, and time compression to provide a rich experience for people who miss a meeting and want to watch it afterward.

Abstract: Audio/video programming content is made available to a receiver from a content provider, and meta data is made available to the receiver from a meta data provider. The meta data corresponds to the programming content, and identifies, for each of multiple portions of the programming content, an indicator of a likelihood that the portion is an exciting portion of the content. In one implementation, the meta data includes probabilities that segments of a baseball program are exciting, and is generated by analyzing the audio data of the baseball program for both excited speech and baseball hits. The meta data can then be used to generate a summary for the baseball program.

Abstract: Architecture that monitors interaction data (e.g., search queries, query results and click-through rates), and provides users with links to other users that fall into similar categories with respect to the foregoing monitored activities (e.g., providing links to individuals and groups that share common interests and/or profiles). A search engine can be interactively coupled with one or more social networks, and that maps individuals and/or groups within respective social networks to subsets of categories associated with searches. A database stores mapped information which can be continuously updated and reorganized as links within the system mapping become stronger or weaker. The architecture can comprise a social network system that includes a database for mapping search-related information to an entity of a social network, and a search component for processing a search query for search results and returning a link to an entity of a social network based on the search query.
