摘要:
Methods and apparatus for providing playback devices with trick play functionality are described. The system includes a playback device, e.g., without recording capability, and a gateway device with multiple tuner-demodulators and/or a cable modem and recording capability. During normal playback, in some embodiments, both the playback device and gateway receive content in parallel with the gateway recording content at the request of the playback device and supplying the content over the local network when a user of the playback device requests a trick play operation. A single gateway, with multiple tuner demodulator pairs and/or a cable modem, supports trick play functions. In some embodiments if the number of playback devices exceeds the number of tuner-demodulator pairs in the gateway, the playback device can stream content to the gateway for recording and to be returned via the local network in the event of a request for a trick play operation.

A method for providing interactive delivery of an electronic presentation to user computers associated with a plurality of users is disclosed. The method can include receiving a playback request from a first user computer to play the electronic presentation at the information display of the first user computer. The method can include receiving a collaboration request from the first user computer to enter a collaboration mode with a second user computer. The second user computer can display content other than the electronic presentation, and the collaboration mode can comprise synchronously displaying information associated with the electronic presentation as displayed on the information display of the first user computer on an information display of the second user computer. The method can include terminating the collaboration mode by at least terminating the synchronously displaying of the electronic presentation.

Embodiments of the innovation relate to a vehicle trailer, comprising a base having a set of base panels, each base panel of the set of base panels hingedly connected to an adjacent base panel of the set of base panels, the base configured to be coupled to a vehicle; and a trailer positioning assembly configured to be coupled to the vehicle and coupled to at least one base panel of the set of base panels, the trailer positioning assembly configured to position the base between a first, expanded position relative to the vehicle, and a second, compacted position relative to the vehicle while the vehicle trailer is coupled to the vehicle.
摘要:
A system and method of conducting a computer-based, simultaneous, multiple round, descending clock auction for basic generation services (BGS) includes receiving bids by an application server host application for processing bids according to auction rules, for tranche units of BGS products, calculating next round prices, and sending round results to bidders, the subsequent round prices and a notice of the number of tranches bid during the previous round and/or the amount of excess supply offered. Subsequently, an electronic withdrawal request to remove tranches from a product and reduce a maximum number bids the bidder can make in future rounds, and/or bidder exit price, is received, but may be partially or fully refused. When the number of tranches bid are equal to or less than a certain threshold for each of the products, the auction may end and bidders are awarded an ending price for each of the products won.

When a later round price is less than an earlier one an electronic switch request to switch a bid to another product is received. When the number of tranches bid are equal to or less than a certain threshold for each of the products, the auction may end and bidders are awarded an ending price for each of the products won.
摘要:
A novel graphical interface and input method is provided. In certain implementations, a touch screen interface is provided with a plurality of icons that each represent seats around a table in a restaurant. Each icon is associated with a unique account. Accounts can be easily merged and split by using touch and swipe interfaces with the icons.
摘要:
Embodiments of systems and methods for the aggregation, analysis, display and monetization of pricing data for commodities in general, and which may be particularly useful applied to vehicles are disclosed. Specifically, in certain embodiments, historical transaction data associated with a particular vehicle configuration may be obtained and processed to determine pricing data associated with the vehicle configuration. The historical transaction data or determined pricing data may then be presented in an intuitive manner.
