摘要:
Internet connection may come through a single host computer and sent to appliance computers, as in a laptop or camera. This application intends to automatically connect the appliances to the Internet established by the host computer by means of either electronic communication or preprogramming both computers with the same network access information.

User-specific information such as the social networking cloud of relevant metadata is used to find real-time information and provide visual feedback to users regarding the presence of other users at particular locations. In one example, the information is displayed on localized map images, with visual indicators such as dots indicating the presence of other users having desired characteristics.
摘要:
A user of a user computer whose hard disk drive (HDD) is “fried” can press a special key to cause BIOS to automatically gather location information about the computer from its GPS receiver and gather information about the HDD, activate a WWAN transceiver, and automatically send the location and HDD information over the WWAN to a service computer, which may return a location of a nearest service center to the user computer and any other advice including recovery advice for the HDD that the service center might be able to divine from the information sent to it by the user computer.
摘要:
A camera system includes an image sensor and a processing apparatus receiving image frames from the sensor before and after receipt of a user picture signal. The processing apparatus discards frames that do not meet a quality criterion such as under-exposed frames. Also, the processing apparatus compresses only a subset of remaining frames, specifically, those that meet a compression amount threshold. The remaining frames are presented to a user, who can select a representative frame as the “picture” that was taken.

摘要:
A method and system for providing computer application support. The method comprises determining a set of installed applications on a source computer using a software manager module executing on a computer, generating a set of usage information for the set of installed applications on the one or more source computers, deriving a set of analysis results from the usage information using a software analysis module executing on a computer, generating a list of applications from the set of analysis results using the software analysis module, and providing the list to a destination computer.
摘要:
A user accesses a website to purchase a replacement computer. As part of the transaction an application is downloaded to an existing computer of the user and used to obtain personal files and settings of the existing computer, which are uploaded to an Internet server. The settings and files may be loaded onto the replacement computer prior to delivery or after delivery, over the Internet.
摘要:
Images are offloaded from a portable camera automatically to a network server at the time the images are taken, transparently to a user of the camera. The server executes processing functions on the images and returns the output of the processing over the network to the camera and/or other user-defined destination device to thereby relieve the camera processor of potentially complex processing chores.
摘要:
A method of searching for a material fated to generate an interband phase difference soliton includes the steps of generating an AC in a soliton candidate material, identifying a loss of AC magnetic susceptibility of the siliton candidate material due to a turn and a twist cut of a vortex line and judging whether or not the soliton candidate material is capable of generating soliton.
摘要:
A data entry device is provided. The data entry device includes a key having a first data entry value associated with depressing the key, and one or more additional discrete data entry values associated with deflecting the key in a predetermined direction, where a user-readable indication is provided for each discrete data entry value. The key is adapted for being depressed or deflected by a human fingertip.
