Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for providing an interactive broadcast of a video or TV content. The system preferably comprises means for displaying the content, an input device for receiving user inputs from a viewer, processing means for executing a computer program capable of marking candidate areas in images displayed by said display means, for processing inputs received from said viewer, and for providing indications responsive to said inputs, and an application server for broadcasting said content, said application server comprises means for indicating location(s) of key features within displayed images of said content, wherein said user inputs are predictions relating to said key features and said responsive indications indicate whether said predictions match said key features
Abstract:
Each copy of software (9) is assigned a unique identifying code pattern (27) which is printed on all documents (19) produced with that software (9) by a high resolution printer (17). The unique identifying code pattern (27) is a plurality of spaced apart marks having a size no greater than about 300 dpi, and is therefore, at best, barely noticeable to the human observer. The "invisible signature" is also reproduced on documents (19) made by unauthorized copies of software (9) which can therefore be traced. Preferably, the unique identifying code (27) is replicated multiple times (27>1 5 1 5 1 5

Abstract:
The present invention comprises a system and method for determining the familiarity of a subject with a given stimulus. The method is based on tracking eye movements of the subject when they are presented with these stimuli, for example by use of an eye-tracking camera adapted for this purpose. Differences in familiarity with a given stimulus will evoke different responses in subjects eye movements, and these differences are analyzed by a classification algorithm in order to determine familiarity with a given stimulus or lack thereof.
Abstract:
Each copy (19) of software, such as software used by a digital computer (3) to create a document and the software used by printers (47), facsimile machines (77) or digital copiers (61) to produce or reproduce documents, is assigned a unique identifying code pattern (27) which is printed on all documents (19) produced with that software by a high resolution printer. The unique identifying code pattern (27) is a plurality of spaced apart marks (29) having a size no greater than about 150 dpi and preferably about 300 dpi, and is therefore, at best, barely noticeable to the human observer. The "invisible signature" permits detection of documents (19) made by unauthorized copies of software or by unauthorized or improper use of authorized copies. Preferably, the unique identifying code (27) is replicated multiple times (271-275) over the document (19) using an error correcting code to assure that at least one replication will be clear of matter selected for printing by the software. A high resolution scanner (21) extracts and identifies the code patterns (271-275) printed on the document (19). In systems (1) where the software generates a print file (11) for the high resolution printer, print commands for the pattern replications (271-275) are interspersed with the other print commands making identification and removal of the commands very difficult and not worth the effort since the "invisible signature" does not prevent copying of the software or noticeably detract from the appearance of the finished document (19).
Abstract:
Technology is disclosed for preventing classification of objects, e.g., in an augmented reality system. The technology can identify a set of objects to be classified, determine whether context information for one or more objects in the identified set of objects to be classified is identified as not to be employed during classification, and during classification of two different objects, include context information for one object but not the other.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for tournament ticketing. A method of tournament ticketing includes: selling Nc tokens for each contestant c in a tournament, the tokens being redeemable for tickets to matches i of a particular contestant c in the tournament; and obtaining Ti tickets to each match i of the tournament.
