摘要： A multi-modally grippable housing construction of improved ergonomic efficiency is disclosed, the construction including a head and a generally elongated handle assembly having a proximal portion coupled to a rear wall of the head to define a neck grippable by thumb and index fingers of an operator, the head having an exterior configuration extending rearwardly from the front end and being sized and shaped for facilitation of the cupping and holding of the head by an operator. Gripping of the housing about the neck, according to one preferred manner of gripping the housing, or cupping of the head according to another mode of grasping the housing construction, permits the operator, in the case of a symbology reader or imager, to address with ergonomic efficiency symbologies positioned, respectively, in vertical or horizontal orientation with respect to the operator.

摘要： An approach to enable users to control and direct video from streaming video sources uses target devices for displaying video selected on control devices. The switching and control path is provided in the cloud, i.e., by the streaming video source. Further described is an approach to mirror the content displayed on the control device to the target device. In this way, viewers other than the operator of the control device can view available video lists and thus take part in the video selection process.

摘要： An omni-directional wireless infrared transceiver and system for communicating electronic data. Each transceiver comprises a receiving lens capable of detecting infrared signals of low power and low incident angle, an LED transmitting element or array, signal peak detection circuitry with dynamic threshold adjustment, signal processing circuitry, and means for electronically connecting the transceiver with a device. The transceivers can communicate without requiring a line-of-sight or obstacle-free communication path. The system is ideally suited for infrared connections in a local environment between portable computers and peripherals such as modems, printers, and keyboards. The transceivers may be embodied with removable connectors or may be integrated permanently within a device. Further, an operator may configure the system for directional data communication in situations where omni-directional communication is undesirable.

摘要： A method and system for capturing, storing, and streaming over the air broadcasts based on user requests is disclosed. The system and method utilize an antenna system that receives all the different frequency channels simultaneously. The received signals are then amplified and a series of filters are used to filter the signal to differentiate the different frequencies. The signals are then decoded and duplicated for each user based on user requests.

摘要： Idle video-on-demand (VOD) and/or other streaming media channel capacity is used to deliver promotional content to selected set-top boxes (STBs) in a cable television network. Commercial segment cues are used to instruct a set-top box to switch away from a broadcast program to the streaming media channel during a commercial segment, and then switch back again to the original broadcast program at the end of the segment.More particularly, a promotion server determines an asset to be distributed such as a targeted promotion item (e.g., a commercial), and a list of STBs that are to receive it. The promotion server causes the video promotion content to be stored in VOD/streaming media servers located at the head ends. A scheduler process then delivers schedule messages to head end message servers which identify each promotion asset, and an STB which is to receive it. The head end message server notifies its associated VOD/streaming media server which then cues the asset by loading the asset, starting the asset, but pausing it. Prior to the occurrence of a commercial slot in a broadcast program, an asset trigger is inserted into the broadcast stream at the head end. This asset trigger contains general information concerning the asset to be sent, and an idle VOD/streaming media channel number. The STB receives the asset trigger and readies itself to tune to the VOD/streaming media channel when cued for at the beginning of a commercial segment, but does not yet tune to the VOD/streaming media channel. Upon detection of a commercial cue tone in the broadcast channel, the head end message server sends a tune away trigger to the STB, and also instructs the VOD/streaming media server to start playing the cued promotion. When the STB receives a tune away trigger, it switches from the broadcast channel being played to the selected idle VOD/streaming media channel, and the promotion is viewed.

摘要： A system and method is provided for event data collection and processing in a multimedia network. The server can include an event collection manager that receives messages containing event data from plural settop devices. Upon message receipt, the event collection manager accesses a database to identify a data aggregation group for the set top that sent the message and anonymously stores the event data in association with the data aggregation group. The data aggregation group can be associated with a policy that specifies anonymous storage of event data based on event type. For example, the data aggregation policy may specify storage of individual event types with personal identification information. Conversely, the aggregation policy may specify anonymous storage of individual event types anonymously excluding personal identification information. Aggregate reports can be generated from the stored event data by aggregation group.

摘要： A scalable messaging system for data transmission between the network devices, such as set top boxes, and a central system server, such as a server which maintains a database of event logs for the network. Individual routers at the data center broadcast an announcement packet indicating that they are available to accept messages from the network devices. The announcement message contains at least an identification of the router and the manner in which messages may be sent to it, e.g., one or more connection socket numbers and/or network addresses. The frequency at which availability messages are sent by the routers is preferably dependent upon the relatively loading of the individual router. Thus, the more heavily loaded a particular router becomes, the less often it will broadcast an availability message; the more lightly loaded it becomes, the more often such messages are broadcast. The network devices then transmit messages to the data center only in response to having received such a router availability announcement. The information in a router availability message can be used in various ways to construct a payload message back to the data center, such as by using ports numbers, persistent identification numbers, or Media Access Control (MAC) layer addresses, depending upon the topology of the data network. This protocol thus permits control over the generation of messages, such as connection request messages, which might otherwise flood a network with large numbers of end node devices.
