摘要:
The present invention relates to an object perception method, for use by a perceiving device that is adapted to perceive at least one object in an environment comprising a plurality of objects. Each object of the plurality of objects is adapted to provision meta-information characterising the corresponding object. The perceiving device includes at least one object of the plurality of objects in a selection by varying a perspective of the object perceiving device. The perceiving device perceives this at least one object of the plurality of objects included in the selection and captures a representation of the at least one object included in said selection in a snapshot. The perceiving device further perceives meta-information corresponding to the at least one object in the selection and additionally the meta-information corresponding to the objects of said plurality of objects not included in the selection. The perceiving device then captures in the snapshot additionally to the representation of the at least one object included in the selection, the meta-information corresponding to the at least one object in the selection, said meta-information corresponding to said objects not included in said selection.
摘要:
An interactive digital television system (iDTV) with a personalization module (PM) for injecting signals towards a small user-groups. The iDTV system comprises a broadcast operator (BO) for sending to subscriber units (SB: SB1-SB3) a downstream digital broadcast stream (BS) received from an interactive digital television provider (ITVP), and also comprising an interaction return channel operator (RCO) for providing interactivity between the subscriber units and the interactive digital television provider by means of a bi-directional interaction return channel (IC). The personalization module (PM) is coupled to the bi-directional interaction return channel (IC) and allows intercommunication between the subscriber units. As a result, a user can escape the limitations of the current linear TV programs and is transformed from a pure spectator into a producer and director of a collective or individual iDTV experience. In this way, when implicit or explicit groups of users are created, a user of the group may send control or data signals to the other users of the group. Data signals may be multimedia data to display and control signals may be recommendations of switching all together to another broadcasted channel. Preferably, each subscriber unit comprises a set-top box (STB) coupled to a server-side logic (L1) of the interactive digital television provider (ITVP) via the personalization module (PM) and this personalization module comprises an application logic proxy (L1′) able to interpret signals sent over the interaction return channel (IC) between the set-top box and the server-side logic in order to forward selected ones of these signals to other parts of the iDTV system. The personalization module (PM) comprises some or all the following modules: the application logic proxy (L1′), a content-reflector and forking module (L2), a community support module (L3), a presence module (L4), a terminal capability module (L5) and a broadcast data collector module (L6), interconnected through a routing/forwarding layer or link (RFL).

Terminals (1) comprising transceivers (2) for exchanging messages (8,18) with further transceivers (12) of further terminals (11) are provided with negotiation modules (5) for exchanging negotiation messages (33,34) with further negotiation modules (15) of the further terminals (11), to increase the flexibility. The negotiation messages (33,34) define proposal actions for activations and/or deactivations of terminal capabilities and proposal reactions to the proposal actions. As a result, it is no longer necessary that each terminal has the same entire application and that each terminal is treated the same way. Individual possibilities of different terminals are used and are allowed. Capability modules (4) exchange capability messages (31,32) with further capability modules (14) of the further terminals (11). The capability messages (31,32) define terminal capabilities such as human machine interfaces (7a-7d). Application modules (6) for exchanging application messages with further application modules (16) of the further terminals (11) define at least a part of an application. Application interface modules (6a-6d) for interfacing the application modules (6) are activatable and/or deactivatable in response to proposal reactions.
摘要:
A multimedia telecommunication system with a telecommunication service provider (TSP) to broadcast a multimedia composition signal (CS) from a multimedia content provider (MCP) to a user station (US). The multimedia signal comprises several multimedia signal components such as for instance audio signals (AU), video signals (VD), subtitles data (ST) and/or logo data (LG). The multimedia content provider (MCP) comprises a first signal composer (CP) for combining the multimedia signal components into the multimedia composition signal. The user station is provided with a multimedia recorder (VCR) and a user interface set (TV), generally a television set associated to a Set-Top-Box. The multimedia recorder (VCR) comprises a signal decomposer (DU) for receiving and decomposing the multimedia composition signal into its multimedia signal components, a storage device (REC) for storing at least some of the multimedia signal components received from the signal decomposer, and a second signal composer (CU) for combining at least some portions stored in the storage device into a replay signal (RS) transmitted to user interface set (TV).

A scheduler is modulating the QoS based on service usage and user-behavior just-in-time. It relates to a method for efficient use of network resources by just-in-time modulation of quality of service based on real-time service-usage and user-behavior comprising steps recording events, generating a synthesis of user-behavior for a QoS user profile according to QoS user preferences, predicting required QoS demand based on current user behavior and user QoS profile, according to QoS user preferences, deriving and propagating QoS demands and allocations, and co-ordination of QoS request of a manifold of users, based on requests, QoS user profiles, QoS user preferences and resources. Further it relates to computer software product, client terminals, a scheduler server, a network element, and a network.

The present invention relates to a method for Service provisioning in a communications system that comprises a plurality of communications devices, each including a tag reader for reading a tag-identifier from a tag attached to an object and for forwarding this tag-identifier to a service provisioning server. This service provisioning server is coupled to the communications devices over a communications network and the tag having a unique tag-identification. The service provisioning method further includes the steps of forwarding by a communications device of the plurality of communications devices a trigger message including trigger-information at reading the tag-identification of the tag towards the service provisioning server. Subsequently, a service-description of a service based on the trigger-information associated with the service stored in a service-list is determined followed by the executing of the service determined by the service provisioning server based on the retrieved service description.

The invention relates to a method for providing to an end device access to a service in accordance with a specific profile. The method including the steps of: sending information identifying the specific profile and identifying the end device to a transfer server, the transfer server obtaining the specific profile from a database based on that information, the transfer server identifying a service manager able to provide the service based on said specific profile, the transfer server requesting the service manager to provide to the end device access to the service. The information is obtained by proximity based interaction between the end device and a mobile device, and it consists of a first part identifying the end device and of a second part identifying the specific profile. The second part is stored in the mobile device.
