摘要： Methods for implementing shared experiences using mobile computing devices comprise capturing audio waves associated with a media using a built-in microphone of a mobile computing device, the mobile computing device including a processor, a memory, a display screen, a built-in battery to power the mobile computing device, and a built-in communication module to enable wireless communication. A signature is generated from the audio waves captured by the microphone. Based on the signature being recognized as a known signature, the signature and positioning information are transmitted to an audio server using the wireless communication. The positioning information identifies a specific moment in the media that a user of the mobile computing device is listening, the audio server and the mobile computing device connected to a network. Activity information is received from the audio server. The activity information is related to the media and associated with a third party server connected to the network. The user of the mobile computing device is enabled to use the activity information to interact with the third party server.

摘要： An integrated development environment (IDE) feature is described that provide relevant information regarding the various purposing masks in an intuitive manner. A user selects one or more target media types for the content being worked on in the IDE. When these target media are selected, masks corresponding to the selected target media are displayed over the content. The IDE monitors the position information identifying a display location of each mask. When the user performs some kind of information event associated with an identified display location of one of the masks, the IDE detects this event and displays an information box that contains media type information regarding the target media related to the specific mask at the identified display location.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a system and method which allow for the automatic cropping and file generation of images from an existing image for display on multiple devices. An image, such as a video image, is provided to an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Next a mask or plurality of masks representative of different displays are applied to the image. The mask can be moved such that the content author can display an area of interest in the desired device. Once the mask is in place a crop is generated based on the mask. As frames are advanced the mask may be moved as the area of interest moves. Again a crop is made based on the mask. Once completed a file of the images is generated for each device represented by the mask that is displayable for the device.

摘要： A method of and apparatus for efficiently rendering a complex transparent scene. In furtherance of one embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises the step of determining a minimum number of overlapping translucent polygons required to substantially occlude an object or a surface in the scene; and culling away the object or the surface if the object is hidden behind more than the minimum number of overlapping polygons. Objectives of the present invention are achieved as processing efficiency is increased when substantially occluded objects are not further processed. In one embodiment of the invention, a Z-stack comprising a plurality of Z-maps is utilized to store depth information of potentially occluding polygons. A bounded volume approximation method may be used to determine the Z-values of the potentially occluding polygons to be stored in the Z-stack. Thereafter, potentially occluded polygons are tested against the Z-stack. Visibility is determined based on a comparison of the Z-values of the potentially occluded polygons and the Z-values in the Z-stack.

摘要： Methods for automatically recommending hash tags for use with comments generated by the comment authors comprise analyzing existing comments to determine reach and influence of authors of the existing comment, and hash tags and keywords that are included in the existing comments. The methods further comprise using the comment and linked content of links included in the existing comment to determine concept information associated with the existing comments, where the concept information is determined using a server computing system configured with an Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) application, and where the concept information, the reach and influence information, the keywords and the hash tags are stored in a hash tag database. The methods further comprise analyzing new comments as they are being generated by authors of the new comments where the new comments and any linked content associated with the new comments are analyzed by the server computing system configured with the IDOL application to determine related concept information, and recommending possible hash tags to the authors of the new comments using the concept information of the new comments and the information stored in the hash tag database.
