Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080198923CONTENT SIGNAL MODULATION AND DECODING - Methods and systems for content signal encoding and decoding are described. A message to be encoded into a content signal may be accessed. The content signal may include a plurality of frames. One or more symbols to be encoded for the message may be derived in accordance with a message translator. A particular symbol of the one or more symbols may be embedded into at least one frame of the plurality of frames by altering a total pixel variable value of the at least one frame.08-21-2008
20090141793DUAL CHANNEL ENCODING AND DETECTION - Methods and systems for dual channel encoding and detection are described. In one embodiment, Auxiliary data may be encoded in an audio portion of one or more frames of a content signal based on an audio encoding technique. The auxiliary data may be encoded in a video portion of the one or more frames based on a video encoding technique. The encoding of the auxiliary data in the audio portion and the video portion may produce a modulated content signal. The modulated content signal may include one or more dual encoded frames. The dual encoded frames may include the auxiliary data encoded within the audio portion and the video portion of the one or more frames. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.06-04-2009
20100248687METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING AUDIO SIGNALS - Methods and systems for encoding and decoding audio signals are described. In one embodiment, a first DTMF tone in an audio signal may be identified and decoded. A second DTMF tone in the audio signal may be identified and decoded at a time delay from the first DTMF tone. A requested action is determined for an electronic figurine associated with the first DTMF tone and the second DTMF tone. The second DTMF tone is different than the first DTMF tone. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.09-30-2010
20100261514HAND-MANIPULABLE INTERFACE METHODS AND SYSTEMS - Methods and systems for a hand-manipulable interface are described. In one embodiment, a manipulable interface device may have a movable portion and a non-moveable base portion. A position sensing subsystem may be deployed in the manipulable interface device to detect a user interaction based on movement of the movable portion relative to the non-movable portion. A control unit may be coupled to the positioning sensing subsystem to translate the user interaction into an instruction on the manipulable interface device and generate a visual display on the manipulable interface device based on the instruction. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.10-14-2010

20080305876METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESPONSE AUTHORIZATION - A method and system for response authorization. In one embodiment, authorization data and response data may be received over a paging network on a user device. The authorization data may be compared against a device identifier of the user device. A response indicated by the response data may be triggered on the user device based on a comparison of the authorization data to the device identifier.12-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100141836METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED MODULATION OF VIDEO SIGNALS - A method, apparatus and system for signal modulation. A plurality of pixels are selected in a pattern such that a first pixel group of the plurality of pixels is unpaired with a second pixel group of the plurality of pixels throughout the pattern in a portion of a video signal. The intensity of the plurality of the pixels is altered at a constant magnitude in the portion of the video signal pursuant to the pattern in a substantially invisible way.06-10-2010
