Abstract:
A technique is used for providing additional information about a broadcast presentation that allows a user interested in the additional information to acquire it easily, using a selective call device or a television remote control device to easily acquire an information address during the broadcast when a prompt is presented during the broadcast. An advertiser can send the additional information over a wide area radio selective call communication system or can post it at a universal resource locator of a computer network. The information address is used to acquire the additional information. The information address can be stored, selected and deleted in the selective call device or remote control device. The prompt can be disabled or enabled manually or based on location.

Abstract:
A technique is used in a selective call communication system ( ) and in a broadcast communication system ( ) to provide additional information about a broadcast to a selective call device ( ). A broadcast receiver ( ) receives a broadcast that includes a prompt ( ), such as a FLEXâ logo, and an information address signal ( ), such as an inaudible portion of the sound portion of the broadcast. The prompt indicates that additional information is available in a message to be transmitted by the selective call communication system. The selective call device receives the information address signal when activated to do so in response to the prompt. The selective call device receives and decodes an information address from the information address signal and uses it to recover the message at a protocol position indicated by the information address. The additional information is then recovered from the message.
The wireless communication system ( ) uses a method of improving diversity gain by utilizing a first network ( ) operating with a first protocol and at least a second network ( ) formed from a plurality of cooperative wireless devices ( and ) operating with a second protocol and at least the,first protocol. The method includes the step ( ) of receiving a signal using the first protocol at one or more of the plurality of cooperative wireless devices intended for a targeted member of the plurality of cooperative wireless devices and the step ( ) of processing the signal cooperatively among the plurality of cooperative wireless devices in order to increase diversity gain of the signal to the targeted member.

International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
382118, 382165
Abstract:
A method carried out at a transmitter ( ), of limiting visual information that can be stored or transmitted captures a visual image ( ). Whenever a control signal is detected ( ) at the transmitter ( ), at least a portion of the visual image is obscured ( ) to produce an obscured visual image. This obscured image is then stored and/or transmitted ( ). The image can be obscured by any number of techniques including replacement of the image with a substitute ( ), blurring, distorting or reducing the resolution of the background ( ), substitution of backgrounds ( ) or removal of the background ( ).

Abstract:
A system ( ) for dynamic process assignment among a plurality of devices ( ) includes an initial coordinator ( ), a requesting device ( ), and a resource device ( ). The initial coordinator ( ) includes a list of available resources ( ) for each device of the plurality of devices ( ). The requesting device ( ) requests the use of a desired resource. In response to the request from the requesting device ( ), the initial coordinator ( ) identifies an available resource associated with one of the plurality of devices ( ) for use by the requesting device ( ) as the desired resource.

Abstract:
A wireless communication system () having portable communication devices (, and ) capable of establishing direct terminal ()-to-terminal () communication (and ) and indirect terminal ()-to-terminal () communication (and ) through another terminal () without having a fixed base station. A portable communication device () used as a terminal is capable functioning as a router for communication (and ) between other portable devices (and ) in the system. While functioning as a router, the portable device () is capable establishing and maintaining a separate direct communication (and ) with another portable communication device (). A wireless communication system() utilizing predetermined cell- and location-specific communication parameters () and non-repeating propagation patterns () for portables communication devices in the system for establishing communications.
