20130290557 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CENTRAL UTILIZATION OF REMOTELY GENERATED LARGE MEDIA DATA STREAMS DESPITE NETWORK BANDWIDTH LIMITATIONS - A computerized method for integrating media streams from a multiplicity of media systems over at least one network into a single media product at high media technical quality, the method comprising the steps of, at certain media systems from among the multiplicity thereof: a. Generating a low volume (LV) media stream representation from a high volume media stream, where the low volume stream's bit-rate is different from the high volume stream's bit-rate; b. streaming the low volume media stream to a content generation center via a data communication network; c. Maintaining high volume local data as a high volume media stream in a storage medium coupled to at least one of the media systems; and d. maintaining mapping information between the low volume stream and the high volume local data for enabling access to media portions in the high volume media stream storage, which correspond based on LV stream time. | 10-31-2013 |

20130041795 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PAYMENT STRUCTURES IN THE PURCHASE AND DISTRIBUTION OF CONSUMABLES, INCLUDING HEATING OIL OR PROPANE - A new ecosystem may comprise a central system operable to monitor the consumption of a commodity at the premises of a consumer, interface with suppliers and retailers of the commodity and perhaps tank monitors, process data collected therefrom, and implement a payment structure that can alleviate the burden of consumers having to pay for an entire delivery of the commodity—the consumer is only responsible for paying for the amount actually consumed during a time period at a prevailing price during that time. The payment structure can also significantly reduce a retailer's working capital required to float the purchase of the commodity before it is paid by its consumers. The central system may provide a web based user interface through which a consumer can lock in a price to pay for the commodity. Alternatively, the price may be fixed when the commodity was delivered to the consumer's tank. | 02-14-2013 |
20130041815 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FINANCING PURCHASES OF CONSUMABLES, INCLUDING HEATING OIL OR PROPANE - A system operable to monitor the consumption of a commodity at the premises of a consumer may comprise a billing system interfacing with suppliers and retailers of the commodity to facilitate the purchase and distribution of the commodity. The billing system may include a payment structure that can alleviate the burden of consumers having to pay for an entire delivery of the commodity—the consumer is only responsible for paying for the amount actually consumed during a time period at a prevailing price during that time—as well as significantly reduce a retailer's working capital required to float the purchase of the commodity before it is paid by its consumers. Such a billing system and payment structure may eliminate or reduce the need for a retailer to borrow against receivables to pay for such purchases. | 02-14-2013 |

20160112833 | LOCATION-BASED CONTROL OF MOBILE DEVICE RING MODE - A system for location-based control of a ring mode of mobile communication devices includes a server configured to communicate with the devices via a network. The server is also configured to receive from a device an indication to change a zone designation of a geographic region at a current location of the device to a silent zone. Any previously received indications for the change of zone designation from other devices are retrieved. If a criterion for implementing the indicated change is met, a change of the zone designation to a silent zone is recorded. The ring mode of a mobile communication device that is located within that geographic region is automatically switched to silent mode. | 04-21-2016 |
