    摘要: A system for synchronizing data streams meant to be displayed concurrently at an end station, but delivered by separate delivery networks is disclosed. In one aspect, apparatus and methods for marking one of the data streams relative to the other are taught, including insertion of frame numbers in vertical and horizontal blanking intervals, the numbers referring to frames in the other stream and related to timing markers, and inserting such numbers by pixel data alteration. In another aspect, apparatus and methods are taught for receiving and re-synchronizing the data streams at a delivery point, including decoding of the relationship data inserted in one data stream referring to the other data stream. Re-synchronization is accomplished by controlling the separate data streams in separate buffer pipelines by a single controller. In a preferred embodiment one data stream is a live video data stream and the other is an annotation stream having added material to be displayed with the live video data stream.

    摘要: A tracking software module for tracking a moving image entity in a video display has an interface for receiving and processing a video data stream while the video presentation provided by the data stream is presented on a display as a series of bitmapped images having a moving image entity to be tracked. There is in the module a graphical user interface usable by an editor for creating, selecting and centering a predefined matrix of signature pixel positions on the moving entity to be tracked in a first frame of the video presentation, and for initiating a tracking process. A determination function determines the color values of the signature pixels in the first frame and stores the values as an image signature. An estimation function assumes a next position for the moving entity, and a test function determines the color signature of the signature pixels at the assumed position and at a plurality of test positions in the immediate vicinity of the assumed position and tests the determined values against the color signature recorded for the entity. Finally a recording function accepts the position wherein the pixel signature most closely matches the image signature; in each frame, and a data stream synchronous with the input data stream and having centerpoint coordinates frame-by-frame for the moving entity is provided as a result.

    摘要: A vertically integrated retail system includes an embedded storefront adapted to operate in a distributed manner through independent units embedded in different web sites or content in other host applications. Each unit of the embedded storefront enables a user to purchase goods, services, or other entities without leaving the host application. The units are modules that may be inserted into a web page, application, game, or other electronic media. Units can include product content such as video or animation, images, text, audio, music, or any other type of interactive or non-interactive electronic content. A user may receive virtual currency, virtual goods (such as virtual items or enhancements within a game application), or other rewards for completing transactions using the unit in the host application. Units may be embedded in host content via hyperlinks included in the content or through an application programming interface of a host content provider.

    摘要: A point-of-sale (POS) module and associated methods are described for performing a transaction involving a check. The POS module interacts with one or more add-in modules. Each add-in module is associated with a particular method for processing a payment using a check. Accordingly, the POS module can accommodate multiple different workflows by plugging in appropriate add-in modules.

    摘要: An email sending service embeds identifying information within emails sent on behalf of its service consumers. A recipient notifies their email provider that an email received from the service is a spam email (e.g., an unsolicited message). The email provider forwards a complaint, including a copy of the email, to the email sending service. The service utilizes the information embedded in the email to identify the responsible service consumer. The email sending service then takes corrective action as necessary to prevent or deter the identified service consumer from sending subsequent spam emails.

    摘要: A method and system that enables a service processor to program a system resource. The service processor uses a JTAG Bus to request a system processor to enter into probe mode. Once in probe mode, the service processor sends a signal with instructions to the system processor. Upon execution of the instructions by the system processor, the executed instructions are forwarded to the appropriate address through a host bus and a controller. The service processor may forward instructions to any system resource through the system processor.
