20080274733 | Wireless Telecommunications System For Accessing Information From The World Wide Web by Mobile Wireless Computers Through A Combination of Cellular Telecommunications and Satellite Broadcasting - A hybrid cellular telephonic and satellite radio broadcast system for enabling a wireless mobile computer to rapidly and effectively access information from the Web. The combination of a mobile wireless receiving computer, with wireless cellular telecommunication associated with the receiving computer for transmitting a request for data from the receiving computer to the Web, an implementation for accessing the requested data from the Web, a satellite transponder, wireless communication for transmitting said accessed requested data to the satellite transponder, an implementation on the satellite transponder for broadcasting the accessed requested data and apparatus in the mobile wireless receiving computer for receiving the broadcast data. | 11-06-2008 |
20080278290 | Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) System for Dynamically and Automatically Establishing Communication Between A Mobile Wireless Communicating Device and A Processing System - RFID tags to provide a relatively low power and power conserving wireless communication system to dynamically and automatically transfer all preselected data developed in designated digital devices to a centralized data processing system. Inclusion, in the target mobile wireless devices from which data is to be transferred, of an RFID tag, preferably passive, to minimize power consumption that is conventionally recognizable by a short range RF transceiver in the computer system to which data is to be transferred. Thus, each mobile wireless device being tracked includes a short range RFID tag, a short range RF transceiver and storage means for the digital data developed by the device that is to be transferred. The data processing system to which the transfer is to be made should include a short range RF transceiver for identifying all RFID tags within this short range boundary; and means, responsive to the system RF transceiver identifying the RFID tag in the mobile wireless device within said short range boundary, for transmitting a signal to said mobile device to trigger the mobile device transceiver to transmit stored digital data to the data processing system. | 11-13-2008 |
20080300026 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HARNESSING PROCESSOR POWER OF MOBILE DEVICES - A system for utilizing the processing power of a mobile device. It is determined whether an energy source within the mobile device is recharging. In response to determining that the energy source within the mobile device is recharging, it is determined whether the mobile device is sending or receiving transmissions. In response to determining that the mobile device is not sending or receiving transmissions, a task is requested from a server via a network. In response to receiving the task from the server, the task is routed to a processor of the mobile device to process the task and return a task result. Then, the task result is sent to the server via the network. | 12-04-2008 |
20080310376 | Method and System for Routing Packets in an Ad Hoc Wireless Network - A system for routing packets in an ad hoc wireless network. In response to entering the ad hoc wireless network, location data is broadcast to other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. Location data is received from the other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. The received location data is recorded in a routing table. In response to determining that one or more packets need to be transmitted, a best route is calculated to transmit the one or more packets within the ad hoc wireless network using data in the routing table. Then, the one or more packets are transmitted to a node within the ad hoc wireless network based on the calculated best route. | 12-18-2008 |
20090102953 | PERFORMANCE DIGITAL IMAGE SENSING - Systems and media to capture a digital image are disclosed. Embodiments include hardware and/or software for taking multiple color data readings with a series of sensing elements in one collecting location during a single exposure, associating the collecting location with a pixel, and calculating a color value for the pixel based on the multiple color data readings. The hardware or software may also direct light successively to the sensing elements of the series of sensing elements within one exposure via reflective optics, and may determine that a sensing element of the series of sensing elements is defective. The hardware or software may redirect light to align a non-defective sensing element of the series of sensing elements with the collecting location. The non-defective sensing element and the defective sensing element may be associated with the same color. | 04-23-2009 |
20110060743 | Locating and Retrieving Data Content Stored in a Compressed Digital Format - A method and apparatus is provided for locating and retrieving specified data content in a database. The data comprises compressed digital audio or video data files associated with the recorded speech. Retrieval of the specified content requires decompression of only a portion of the compressed data. A method for locating specified content of the above type is provided. A compressed audio file comprising recorded speech is converted into a corresponding text file. A searchable index is constructed from the text file. One or more specified search arguments are used to search respective elements of the searchable index in order to detect one or more text segments. The identifiers of respective detected segments are then used to locate the specified content in the audio file. Only portions of the audio file that contain specified content require decompression, in order to retrieve the content. | 03-10-2011 |
20120327264 | Real-Time Adjustment Of Illumination Color Temperature For Digital Imaging Applications - An approach is provided to adjust illumination color temperature at a flash unit of a camera. Data that corresponds to the ambient light of a physical environment is collected, such as at a color temperature meter included in the camera. The ambient light has a distribution of color temperatures that cycle over a fixed time period. When a flash request is received, a time is calculated at which the flash unit will flash. One of the color temperatures is identified from the distribution of color temperatures with the identified color temperature being the predicted color of the ambient light that will be present in the physical environment when the flash unit flashes. The color temperature of the flash unit is set to the identified color temperature. | 12-27-2012 |
