    摘要: A centralized resource manager for distributed networks manages resources available on the network, such as network bandwidth, CPU allocation, TV tuners, MPEG encoders and decoders, disk bandwidth, and input/output devices. The centralized resource manager also allocates the resources of network clients and a network-associated media server, in response to requests for media services via the distributed network. The centralized resource manager may include means for discovering when devices are added or removed from the network; a current, IR, or electromagnetic field sensing system for determining when video devices are turned off so that resources associated with any device not in use may be reallocated elsewhere; or a power switching system for controlling the ON or OFF state of such devices so that resources associated with any device in the OFF state may be reallocated elsewhere.

    摘要: A document management system including a repository for storing electronic documents, a portable display for displaying an electronic document stored in the portable display, a folder adapted to physically receive the portable display. The repository may include a digital representation of the folder. The system may link in the repository the electronic document with the digital representation when the portable display is received in the folder. The system takes advantage of the physicality of the folder and the display with an added indexing, i.e. filing, resulting from the insertion. The portable display may be an electronic-paper display. The repository may be arranged to store the at least one electronic document in the digital representation when the portable display is received in the folder. The electronic document may be sent to the repository for storage in association with the digital representation of the folder.

    摘要: A system, method, Application Programming Interface (API) and device for discovering a location of a device, for example, to provide location information for a Location Based Service (LBS). The device includes a memory, a display, and a processor operably coupled to the memory and the display. The processor may be arranged to provide a user interface (UI) on the display, retrieve location cues in response to a location request, forward location cues to a location server and receive location information back from the location server. The location information may be a location query page associated with a new place ID if the location cues do not correspond to the location server cues or the location information may be a previously discovered place ID associated with the server location cues if one or more of the location cues correspond to one or more of the server's location cues.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for providing privacy during video or other communication across a network. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed wherein digital video camera is coupled to a network via a processing server. The digital video camera generates one or more digital images that are processed by the processing server, including identifying and obstructing any artifacts (e.g., faces, hands, etc.) in the images. The processing also optionally includes the tracking of the artifacts in the images as they move within the image, as well as search for new faces that may enter the field of view. In another embodiment of the invention, video conferencing is performed over a network between two or more users. Images are generated by digital video cameras and processed by video servers. During the videoconference, one or more users may select a video (and audio) muting mode during which any artifacts of interest in the images (or portions thereof) are identified and obscured. Business methods utilizing these capabilities are also disclosed.
