| 20100061405 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SYNCHRONIZATION - A method of operating a system of devices comprises receiving content to be rendered, receiving augmentation data for controlling one or more effects devices, rendering the content at a first device, controlling the or each effects devices according to the augmentation data in synchronization with the content rendering, monitoring the synchronization of the augmentation data, and adjusting the controlling of one or more effects devices if the synchronization of the augmentation data is determined to be in doubt. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100135384 | CREATION AND HANDLING OF A BITSTREAM COMPRISING VIDEO FRAMES AND AUXILIARY DATA - A method of creating a bitstream comprises receiving video data, receiving auxiliary data, translating the auxiliary data according to a defined scheme, encoding the translated auxiliary data as one or more video frames, each frame substantially consisting of the encoded translated auxiliary data, and combining the video data and the encoded video frames into a bitstream. A device for carrying out the creation of the bitstream is disclosed, along with a corresponding handling method and device arranged to receive the bitstream. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100318201 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING EFFECT OF LIGHTING DEVICE - A method comprises transmitting an operate signal from a control system to an effects device, operating the effects device according to the operate signal, detecting an effect of the effects device, assigning a location to said effect, and storing the location of said effect. The effects device can comprise a lighting device, and the method can be repeated for multiple effects devices. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20080263620 | Script Synchronization Using Fingerprints Determined From a Content Stream - A content stream ( | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080297654 | Script Synchronization By Watermarking - A watermark is embedded into a content stream including at least a clock value that relates to a time of embedding the clock value and an initial clock value representing the start of the content stream. A receiver extracts from the content stream the embedded watermark including the clock value. The receiver retrieves a portion of a script that corresponds to the content and the clock value. The script is utilized to produce one or more sensory effects that are output in an effects signal for an effects controller. The effect signal is produced in synchronization with the rendering of the content stream. In one embodiment, a content identifier may be embedded into the watermark. The receiver extracts from the watermark the content identifier and retrieves a script that corresponds to the content identifier. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090240825 | DELIVERING STREAMING DATA - A method of delivering streaming data to a user device comprises delivering a first data stream supplied by a data server to a user device via a router, and receiving a change request from the user device, the change request being indicative of a second data stream required by the user device. A data server having the second data stream available for delivery to the router is identified, and the second data stream is delivered from the identified data server to the router. Delivery of the first data stream to the user device is ceased, and, after such cessation of delivery of the first data stream, delivery of the second data stream to the user device commences. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100225810 | METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A CONTENT STREAM AND A SCRIPT FOR OUTPUTTING ONE OR MORE SENSORY EFFECTS IN A MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM - A method for synchronizing a content stream ( | 09-09-2010 |
| 20120057755 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING LIGHTING - A method is provided to control the lighting ambience in a space by means of a plurality of controllable light sources ( | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120066144 | MAP GUIDANCE FOR THE STAFF OF A SERVICE-ORIENTED BUSINESS - Guidance is provided to a staff of a service-oriented business when catering to a guest on the premises of the service-oriented business. A signal is received from a presence detector on the premises. The signal is representative of a presence of the guest at a pre-determined location on the premises. A length of a time period is determined, during which the guest has been present at the pre-determined location. On a display monitor, a visual indication is generated of the presence at the pre-determined location. The visual indication has an attribute that changes with the passing of time. | 03-15-2012 |
