A method and apparatus for navigating a media program is disclosed. Viewing data for segments of the media program are monitored and used to compile statistics that are presented to the user in a histogram, so that popular portions of the media program can be identified and navigated to. One embodiment includes a searchable transcript of the media program that is synchronized with the histogram.

A method and apparatus for navigating a media program via a searchable transcript of the dialog of the media program is disclosed. In one embodiment, a textural transcript of the dialog is generated, wherein the textural transcript comprising a plurality of portions wherein each portion is associated with a segment of the media program, a command is accepted to display the transcript and in response to that command, user interface data is transmitted to the client computer for presentation in a user interface, wherein the user interface comprising a concurrently presented media program player and the textural transcript.

A method and apparatus for embedding a media program with a randomly user selected thumbnail is disclosed. The user can scan a media program to identify one of a plurality of media program frames, select the frame of interest, then designate it as the thumbnail to use in connection with the embedded media program.

A method and apparatus for sharing viewing information is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an designation of a second user from the first user; and transmitting the first user viewing information to the designated second user. The shared viewing information may comprise the identity of a currently viewed media program, a list of scheduled media program viewings, or the media program itself.

摘要:
In many applications such as automobiles on busy highways, if a lot of vehicles on road are equipped with Doppler radars to help improve driving safety, no matter human-driven or auto-driven, if the radars use same frequency band, avoiding interference between them is a hard task. Assigning distinct frequencies is one of the solutions, however not only it wastes expensive spectrum resource, but also the task itself to dynamically assign frequency to vehicles randomly come together becomes a hard one to do. The disclosed invention of Doppler group radar will allow radar devices to work together using shared frequency band without interfering one another, without sacrificing performance, and without much increase in costs.

In many applications such as automobiles on busy highways, if a lot of vehicles on road are equipped with Doppler LIDARs to help improve driving safety, no matter human-driven or autonomous-driven, when multiple LIDARs are simultaneously illuminating an object, the LIDARs signals will interfere with each other. Avoiding interference between them is a hard task. The disclosed invention of “Doppler group LIDAR” will allow LIDAR devices of this kind to inherently work together in “physical layer” without interfering one another, without sacrificing performance, and without having to rely on higher layer protocols to achieve these goals, so that all LIDARs of this kind interoperate easily and reliably.

A mixed reality system and method for determining spatial positions of dental instruments without having a fixed intra oral reference point is disclosed. An intra-oral image sensor-based positioning device including at least two cameras is provided to sense and track the movements of dental instruments being used. The three-dimensional coordinates relating to the movement and orientation of the dental instruments are obtained for real time or delayed use in a mixed reality environment.
