20120216123 | ENERGY AUDIT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An online energy audit system poses and collects responses to a list of survey questions regarding a subject house from a remote occupant via a survey UI. Survey responses are stored in an energy-use profile associated with the subject house and are used to populate model inputs to an energy-use software model, from which an energy-efficiency score is derived. To help a remote occupant choose appropriate answers and to facilitate completion of the survey, the survey UI includes question-specific house-feature images associated with some or all questions. Survey questions are designed to be easy for a homeowner to understand, and the survey is kept short. The energy-efficiency score of the subject house is presented to the remote occupant in comparison with comparison energy-use data together with an action message to encourage the remote occupant to improve the energy score of the subject house. | 08-23-2012 |
20120240050 | INTERNET PRIVACY USER INTERFACE - A method and system that provide an intuitive user interface and related components for making Internet users aware of Internet cookie-related privacy issues, and enabling users to control Internet privacy through automatic cookie handling. Default privacy settings for handling cookies are provided, and through the user interface, the privacy settings may be customized to a user's liking. Further, through the user interface, for each individual site that forms a page of content, the site's privacy policy may be reviewed and/or the privacy controlled by specifying how cookies from that site are to be handled. To make users aware, the user interface provides an active alert on a first instance of a retrieved web site's content that fails to include satisfactory privacy information, and thereafter, provides a distinctive passive alert to allow the user selective access to privacy information, per-site cookie handling and cookie handling settings. | 09-20-2012 |

20130315404 | OPTIMUM BROADCAST AUDIO CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM - The OPTIMUM BROADCAST AUDIO CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM (“OBAC”) transforms selection request, video feeds, and, audio feeds inputs via OBAC components into synchronized and optimum video and audio outputs. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented method for capturing optimal audio in sports broadcasting is disclosed, comprising: receiving real time data from a first instrumented camera situated in a venue; processing the real time data to determine a first field position in the venue; activating a first microphone from a plurality of microphones in a first microphone array based on the first field position; and sending a first audio selection from the first microphone. | 11-28-2013 |
20140029922 | TECHNIQUES TO PROVIDE AN ENHANCED VIDEO REPLAY - Techniques to provide an enhanced video replay are described. A processor component controls a video interface module, a replay clip editing module, a replay clip selection module, and a broadcast feed module. The video interface module may receive a first and a second video stream of an event in a first and a second video resolution. The replay clip editing module may determine a time period within the second video stream that contains a scene of interest and create multiple video clips in the first video resolution. The multiple video clips each represent of a portion of the field of view of the second video stream. The broadcast feed module may interrupt a broadcast feed of the first video stream and insert the selected one of the multiple video clips into the broadcast feed. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 01-30-2014 |
20140152832 | TECHNIQUES TO PROVIDE A MICRO-BROADCAST OF AN EVENT - Techniques to provide a micro-broadcast of an event are described. Video data streams of a live event at a venue may be captured in one or more wireless camera devices. The data streams may be sent to one of a network of wireless access points where they are relayed to a control center. A computer system in the control center may select one of the video data streams to be broadcast as a micro-broadcast. The selected video data stream may then be formatted for the micro-broadcast before a micro-broadcast transmitter broadcasts the formatted selected video data stream. | 06-05-2014 |
