A system and method for a context-sensitive extensible plug-in architecture. Specifically, an extensible plug-in architecture is described. The plug-in architecture includes a main application responding to at least one media object under a current context. A plug-in application is also included that extends capabilities of the main application. The plug-in architecture also includes an interface for sharing the current context with the plug-in application so that the plug-in application responds to the at least one media object under the current context.

Current methodologies for color image halftoning produce prominent halftoning noise. Brightness variations between color dots placed at neighboring locations are a primary cause of color halftone noise. To correct this flaw, an Ink Relocation Postprocess to halftoning algorithms relocates ink drops between neighboring drop locations in order to reduce local brightness variations. Due to the intrinsic blurring side-effect of ink relocation, some enhancement may be desired. Two application-specific enhancement procedures are presented. In the first enhancement, ink relocation is suppressed in areas of fine detail. In the second enhancement, edge sharpening is performed after ink relocation.

摘要:
Providing an incentive for including an item in content. The content is accessed and received from a first party. The content is searched for at least one item identified by a second party. The second party is notified in response to identifying the item in content. A mechanism is provided whereby the second party provides an incentive to the first party for including the item in the content.
摘要:
A process for correcting the time stamp of recordings such as photographs, obtained in many locations. An onboard clock records a time stamp for each photograph. GPS tracking data is obtained during movement of the camera. A time correction is sought, to account for an unknown error in the onboard clock, relative to the trusted GPS time data. To this end, an assigned location of each photograph is generated from the location tracking data and from an estimated time correction. Indicators of an appropriate time correction include clustering of the assigned locations, and correlation of the assigned locations to locations of reduced velocity. A GUI can be used to enable user assessment of clustering and/or correlation, and indication of a suitable time correction. Or, algorithmic assessment can be used. The determined time correction can be used to correct each photograph's time stamp.
摘要:
Media-driven browsing methods, systems, and machine-readable instructions are described. In one aspect, a context search is performed based on information associated with at least one media object. A context-sensitive search is performed based on results of the context search. Information derived from results of the context-sensitive search is presented.

摘要:
A method and system of synchronizing a clock in an electronic device having image capture capabilities includes receiving an image of a time keeping device from the electronic device with image capture capabilities, determining a current time using image analysis operations on the image of the time keeping device and setting the current time on a clock associated with the electronic device with image capture capabilities.
