摘要： Described are methods and apparatus for encouraging viewers to pay attention to television programs, commercials in particular, by offering viewers some incentive to watch. In one embodiment, viewers are notified that they can receive frequent-flier miles for answering one or more simple questions at the conclusion of the commercial. To verify that the viewer paid attention to the commercial, the answer to the question may be based on the content of the commercial. A sponsor might ask, for example, that the viewer identify the name of the sponsor or the color of an announcer's shirt. A correct answer indicates that the viewer watched the commercial, and that the viewer is therefore entitled to some reward. For example, viewers who watch the commercial may be entered in a prize drawing, or may receive prize points, such as frequent-flier miles. In other embodiments, viewers may verify that they watched a given program by selecting an icon or pressing a button on a remote control.

摘要： “A portable MP3 player has two operation modes. In a first mode, the portable MP3 player operates independently. A controller in the MP3 player reads first MP3 files from internal memory and a MP3 decoder is utilized for decoding the MP3 files. In addition, the audio data are output to an earphone or a speaker. In a second mode, a ducking station is provided for placing the portable MP3 player, which has an extended memory device, e.g. CD-ROM, for storing second MP3 files. The controller of the portable MP3 player accesses the second MP3 files via interfaces that are connected when the portable MP3 player is placed on the ducking station. The MP3 decoder of the portable player is also utilized to decode the second MP3 files and the corresponding audio data are output through the ducking station.”

摘要： In a method for providing a secure communication between two devices, a first device generates a random key (Ci) and transfers this key to a second device in a first message encrypted using a public key. The second device decrypts the first encrypted message by means of a corresponding secret key to obtain the random key (Ci) and this random key is used to encrypt and decrypt all transmissions between these devices. In a decoder for a pay TV system, comprising a conditional access module and a smart card, this method is applied to provide a secure communication between the control access module and the smart card and/or between the decoder and the conditional access module.

摘要： A recording system that is automatically triggered in response to the detection of a triggering event to record a desired signal. In order to determine whether the triggering event is present in the input signal, the recording system of the present invention detects whether a recognized pattern in the input signal corresponds to a reference pattern maintained in memory. Alternatively, the triggering event may be detected by performing a predetermined logic operation on those recognized patterns that match at least one of the reference patterns. The present invention also employs a buffer for delaying the input signal by a predetermined duration. Once the triggering event is detected, a recording device is activated to record the delayed signal for at least the predetermined duration.

摘要： A system is disclosed for synchronizing a clock in a well containing a drill string with a clock located near the surface of the well. The system includes devices for transmitting and receiving a pair of acoustic signals between locations associated with each clock and processing those signals. The system determines the time of arrival of each acoustic signal by analyzing the shape of a function of the acoustic signal chosen from a group of functions suitable to determine a clock offset with millisecond accuracy.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing and tracking viewing behavior of home entertainment systems. A viewer event such as tuning to a selected television channel, occurs at a home entertainment system. The event is coupled with information describing the programming viewed on the home entertainment system and is stored locally. The information describing the programming is obtained from an electronic program guide. Subsequent viewer events are also coupled with information describing the programming viewed and stored locally. The resulting viewing behavior that is stored locally is transmitted to a remote clearinghouse for storage. The remote site receives a great diversity specific information from a plurality of home entertainment systems, which represents and describes, in any desired degree of specificity, the programming that the public is viewing, the origin of the programming, and the way in which the programming is being viewed.
