摘要： When a wireless two-way communications device that has a plurality of user interfaces (and where at least two of these interfaces comprise different interface modalities) receives (101, 201) non-user input regarding an operational constraint (such as, but not limited to, an environmentally-sourced or an internally-sourced operational constraint), an automatic determination (102, 202) will follow regarding a plurality of differing user interface operational configurations as will comply with the operational constraint. One or more of these operational configurations are then presented (103, 203) to a user of the device in order to prompt provision of a user instruction regarding use of such operational configurations. Upon receiving (104, 204) a corresponding instruction from the user, the corresponding operational configuration is used (105, 205) to thereby accommodate the operational constraint in a manner that is relatively satisfactory to the user.

摘要： A centralized interactive TV recording and reproduction system linking several “Quality of Service” (QoS) reproduction and control units (such as television and audio reproduction receivers), as well as high bandwidth non-QoS legacy devices such as PCs, via a Home Area Network (HAN) to a centralized media server, has novel traffic control to prevent non-QoS devices from establishing and maintaining high-bandwidth network connections during the real-time transmission of media (video and/or audio) information from the media server to the QoS devices. In the preferred embodiment, the media server also contains a gateway device for connecting the HAN to a Wide Area Network, Metropolitan Area Network, and/or the Internet, and the media server also receives video and audio signals from sources such as cable, satellite, terrestrial broadcast, etc. The media server also contains a network router. All traffic from non-QoS devices is routed through the media server, and the media server limits the delivery of packets sent from source non-QoS devices to destination non-QoS devices. As a further refinement to prevent interruptions in real-time transmissions of video and audio information to QoS devices, the information can be buffered at the QoS device level.

摘要： A Medium Access Control protocol software architecture which comprises a microcode component providing the protocol implementation level functions and an engine component providing hardware level functions. The Medium Access Control protocol and method for use in a network system allows for centralized management of all MAC-level services by a master device. The Medium Access Control protocol provides an improved protocol message throughput via the sequence retransmission request protocol scheme. The Medium Access Control protocol provides a reduced data transmission latency and provides dynamic allocation of data slots within a Time Division Multiple Access frame definition. The Medium Access Control protocol also provides a set of failure management functions and power control support.

摘要： The present invention provides a system and method for optimizing delivery of a content item from a content distribution network to a display device, where the content distribution network includes transcoding resources to convert the content item from a first format to a second format. A computing device receives a request to deliver the content item to the display device. The system selects, from the transcoding resources, an optimized transcoding resource based on an evaluation of metadata that describes the content item, a preferred technique for transcoding the content item, a state of the content distribution network, a predicted behavior for the user, and metadata that describes the display device. The system reserves the selected transcoding resource, and delivers the content item to the display device on a media stream that utilizes the selected transcoding resource.

摘要： A device is operable to determine location of a packet-switched device, and the location is used to provide location-based services for the packet-switched device. The device includes an interface receiving a message. The message includes a tag inserted by an access point between the packet-switched device and the device. A database stores a plurality of tags and a location for each tag. The device parses the received message to identify the tag, and performs a lookup on the database using the tag to determine a corresponding location for the tag. This location is an estimation of a location of the packet-switched device, and the location is operable to be used to provide a location-based service for the packet-switched device.
