| 20110313314 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING NEUROPATHY - The invention provides a system and method for detecting or monitoring neuropathy in an individual. The system of the invention includes a platform having a surface in which a plurality of stimulators is embedded. Each stimulator is configured to stimulate a region in a skin area when the skin area is applied to the platform. The stimulators may deliver thermal and/or vibrational energy to the skin region. In the method of the invention, a skin area is applied to platform and one of the stimulators is activated. A minimal stimulation is determined that is sensed by the individual in a skin region in contact with a stimulator. Neuropathy in the skin region in contact with the stimulator is detected if either the determined minimal stimulation is above a predetermined threshold, or if a stimulation is not sensed before a magnitude of the stimulation reaches a predetermined maximal magnitude. The process is then repeated with other stimulators. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20120019636 | Stereoscopic 3D Images and Video on a Non-Stereoscopic 3D Capable Screen - A method of providing a stereoscopic 3D image or video on a non-stereoscopic 3D screen. This includes receiving an alternating frame sequence of left and right images where a marker is embedded into the left or the right image. The alternating sequential frame with the embedded marker is output to the non-stereoscopic 3D screen. The markers outputted from the non-stereoscopic 3D screen are detected by an optical sensor. A synchronization signal is sent via a communication channel to an eye control device to synchronize the eye control device with the non-stereoscopic 3D screen, based on the detected markers displayed on the screen. | 01-26-2012 |

Embodiments may include a communication interface service configured to receive from a communication device a message indicative of a request to perform a task. The communication interface service may determine that the communication device is not registered with an existing account that provides information for performing said task. The communication interface service may obtain identification and authentication information for an existing account via a communication channel. The existing account may be an account for that is accessible via a network-based interface. The communication channel through which the identification and authentication information is received by the communication interface service may be any communication channel that does not include the network-based interface of the existing account. Additionally, the communication interface service may use the identification and authentication information for performance of the task using the existing account. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090248543 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESSAGE-BASED PURCHASING - Various embodiments of a system and method for message-based purchasing are described. The system and method for message-based purchasing may include a message-based purchase service configured to determine that a selection has been performed through a network-based interface. Such selection may be indicative of one or more items offered for sale via the network-based interface. The message-based purchase service may be configured to, in response to the selection of one or more items, send to a communication device, a message indicating a code corresponding to the selection. The message-based purchase service may receive from the communication device through a communication channel that does not include the network-based interface, a message including the code. The message-based purchase service may be configured to, in response to determining that the message received from the communication device includes the code, generate a purchase request for the one or more previously selected items. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100050082 | Interactive Video Insertions, And Applications Thereof - Embodiments of this invention relate to controlling insertion of visual elements integrated into video. In an embodiment, a method enables control of insertions in a video. In the embodiment, control data is received from a user input device. Movement of at least one point of interest in a video is analyzed to determine video metadata. Finally, a visual element is inserted into a video according to the control data, and the visual element changes or moves with the video as specified by the video metadata to appear integrated with the video. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110013836 | MULTIPLE-OBJECT TRACKING AND TEAM IDENTIFICATION FOR GAME STRATEGY ANALYSIS - A method for automatically tracking multiple objects from a sequence of video images that may extract raw data about participating elements in a sporting, or other event, in a way that does not interfere with the actual participating elements in the event. The raw data may include the position and velocity of the players, the referees, and the puck, as well as the team affiliation of the players. These data may be collected in real time and may include accounting for players moving fast and unpredictably, colliding with and occluding each other, and getting in and out of the playing field. The video sequence, captured by a suitable sensor, may be processed by a suitably programmed general purpose computing device. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110063415 | Hyperlinked 3D Video Inserts for Interactive Television - A viewer may directly interact with a 3D object that is virtually placed in a physical location in a video scene. Initially, the object appears as an integral part of the original video scene and does not interfere with the general viewer's experience of the program. A viewer may initiate interaction with the object using an input device. An interested viewer may navigate through the object's architecture based on the viewer's interest. For example, the viewer may drag the object to a new physical insertion point in the scene. The user may rotate the 3D object into different orientations and zoom in. Each orientation of the object, if selected by the viewer, may invoke a new linked object in the predefined architecture. For example, the viewer may walk through the linked objects in the predefined architecture or observe an object at an increasing level of detail. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110090344 | Object Trail-Based Analysis and Control of Video - Systems and methods for analyzing scenes from cameras imaging an event, such as a sporting event broadcast, are provided. Systems and methods include detecting and tracking patterns and trails. This may be performed with intra-frame processing and without knowledge of camera parameters. A system for analyzing a scene may include an object characterizer, a foreground detector, an object tracker, a trail updater, and a video annotator. Systems and methods may provide information regarding centers and spans of activity based on object locations and trails, which may be used to control camera field of views such as a camera pose and zoom level. A magnification may be determined for images in a video sequence based on the size of an object in the images. Measurements may be determined from object trails in a video sequence based on an effective magnification of images in the video sequence. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110135149 | Systems and Methods for Tracking Objects Under Occlusion - A method for tracking objects in a scene may include receiving visual-based information of the scene with a vision-based tracking system and telemetry-based information of the scene with a RTLS-based tracking system. The method may also include determining a location and identity of a first object in the scene using a combination of the visual-based information and the telemetry-based information. Another method for tracking objects in a scene may include detecting a location and identity of a first object and determining a telemetry-based measurement between the first object and a second object using a real time locating system (RTLS)-based tracking system. The method may further include determining a location and identity of the second object based on the detected location of the first object and the determined measurement. A system for tracking objects in a scene may include visual-based and telemetry-based information receivers and an object tracker. | 06-09-2011 |
