    摘要: A Mixed Media Reality (MMR) system and associated techniques are disclosed. The MMR system provides mechanisms for forming a mixed media document that includes media of at least two types (e.g., printed paper as a first medium and digital content and/or web link as a second medium). In one embodiment, an MMR document is retrieved based on recognition of a paper document. Responsive to the comparison of the paper document and the virtual multimedia document, an action is performed. For example, the media of the matching MMR document can be displayed, or an action associated with the matching MMR document can be performed.

The MMR system provides mechanisms for forming a mixed media document that includes media of at least two types (e.g., printed paper as a first medium and digital content and/or web link as a second medium). In one particular embodiment, the mixed media document may also include hotspot images that uniquely identify a user associated with the mixed media document. Such individualized mixed media documents are used to identify users of the mixed media document, when orders for products or services are made using the mixed media documents through the MMR system.

    摘要: A Mixed Media Reality (MMR) system associated techniques are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the MMR system includes a MMR brokerage network having a customer, an MMR broker, an MMR service bureau and an MMR clearinghouse. The MMR brokerage network allows these entities to interact to provide a unified point of business access for the customer who wants to add MMR functionality to a document. Furthermore, the MMR system of the present invention facilitates business methods that take advantage of the combination of a portable electronic device, such as a cellular camera phone, and a paper document. The present invention also includes a number of novel methods including: a method for operation of a MMR brokerage network, a method for layout independent MMR recognition, a strip fragment candidate generation process, and a page candidate accumulation process.

    摘要: A system for providing insurance associated with a lost-and-found service, according to which a person and/or item (the “insured”) is covered by an insurance policy that provides compensation in the event of at least one of loss, theft, damage, and/or destruction of an item, and in association with said insurance, also receives one or more services that facilitate the return of the item if it is lost or stolen. The insurance policy pays for the facilitation of the return of an item if it is lost by the insured and subsequently found and reported to a lost-and-found service provider. The insured pays the insurance provider a deductible for the return of the previously insured and/or lost item. Also, a lost-and-found service provider is reimbursed by the insurance provider when an item is lost in exchange for providing the services of identifying the insured using unique markings contained on a lost item owned by the insured, contacting the person associated with the item, contacting the insurance service provider (which may or may not be the same as the lost-and-found service provider), and/or facilitating the return of the lost item to the owner or insurance provider. Registering for an insurance policy also facilitates registering for the services of a lost-and-found service provider.

    摘要: An apparatus and system for returning an object which has been lost to its proper owner. A protective shipping container is sent to a person who has found a lost object (“finder”) at the address specified by the finder. Upon receiving the shipping container, the finder inserts the found object and removes a separable portion of the shipping container on which the finder's address is identified. In doing so, address identifying information of the object owner, which is pre-printed and/or pre-affixed to the shipping container, is exposed which facilitates the sending of the shipping container containing the found object to its owner. The separable portion of the shipping container also contains a reward which is provided to the finder as an incentive for returning the item. The finder seals the shipping container so that it may be sent via a courier such as the U.S. Postal Service or Federal Express.
