20140298221 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESTRICTING USER OPERATIONS WHEN APPLIED TO CARDS OR WINDOWS - A user interface that displays a number of cards or windows is described where a user can move the cards in a horizontal direction freely. When a card resides in a locked zone, as defined by a user, the card will be able to be manipulated in a vertical direction, while cards that reside in a regular zone will not be able to be moved vertically. In addition, only cards that are in the locked zone can be subjected to a user action such as cutting content from the card, pasting content to the card, enlarging the contents of the card, or shrinking the contents of the card. | 10-02-2014 |

20090106209 | Method and system for distributing product information - A method and system of associating product codes with product characteristics, and using those product codes to send and receive information about those characteristics to destinations on a network when the values of those characteristics change. | 04-23-2009 |
20090113529 | Method and system for restricted biometric access to content of packaged media - A system, method, and user device for restricting access to the content of media over a network. Biometric information is collected and compared against pre-stored biometric information of a user to authenticate the identity of the user. The user then requests access to the content of a medium. Access is permitted to the requested content if the content is identified as content, or indicia identifying the content, that the user previously uploaded to the server. Access is denied to the requested content if the content is not identified as content, or indicia identifying the content, that the user previously uploaded to the server. | 04-30-2009 |
20100217800 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A CUSTOMIZED SELECTION OF AUDIO CONTENT OVER THE INTERNET - A method an apparatus is provided for providing selected media files, which are chosen from among a plurality of media files, to a user over a packet-switched network such as the Internet. The method begins by receiving over the packet-switched network a request from the user to receive media content. Next, a user profile associated with the user is retrieved from a database. The user profile reflects user preferences in media content to be received over the packet-switched network. The plurality of media files are ranked based at least in part on the user profile. At least one highly ranked media file is selected from among the ranked plurality of media files. At least one of the highly ranked media files is forwarded to the user over the packet-switched network. | 08-26-2010 |
20110302184 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE ACCESS OF PERSONAL MUSIC - In one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for storing audio files. The method includes: (a) receiving electronic files at a central location from a first device, those electronic files representing audio signals; (b) associating the audio files with identification information; (c) storing the audio files at the central location on at least a portion of a storage media, that portion being uniquely associated with the identification information; (d) receiving the identification information from a second device; and (e) transmitting the audio files to the second device upon receipt of the identification information. | 12-08-2011 |
20140074775 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A CUSTOMIZED SELECTION OF AUDIO CONTENT OVER THE INTERNET - A method an apparatus is provided for providing selected media files, which are chosen from among a plurality of media files, to a user over a packet-switched network such as the Internet. The method begins by receiving over the packet- switched network a request from the user to receive media content. Next, a user profile associated with the user is retrieved from a database. The user profile reflects user preferences in media content to be received over the packet-switched network. The plurality of media files are ranked based at least in part on the user profile. At least one highly ranked media file is selected from among the ranked plurality of media files. At least one of the highly ranked media files is forwarded to the user over the packet-switched network. | 03-13-2014 |

20140032361 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN MEDIA CONTENT - A unique identifier is used to identify products and services in media content in a method which includes receiving a request for information regarding a product or service identifiable in content being presented on a display, in response to the received request, determining a unique identifier for the product or service, determining if information for an alternate product or service should be returned in response to the request and if alternate product or service information should be returned in response to the request, determining a unique identifier for the alternate product or service. The process further includes searching for the unique identifier of the product or service in the original request or the alternate product or service in a database of unique identifiers to obtain product or service information for the product or service for which information is to be returned. The information retrieved can include sales information. | 01-30-2014 |
20140150023 | CONTEXTUAL USER INTERFACE - The present disclosure is directed towards having a user interface being selected for display on an input device to control the playback of a media asset or media service. A determination is made of the media asset or media service to be played and a lookup operation is performed to select the corresponding user interface for the input device. The user interface will change depending on the media asset or media service being selected for playback. | 05-29-2014 |

20140143713 | METHOD FOR LOCATNG REGIONS OF INTEREST IN A USER INTERFACE - The present disclosure is directed towards having a user interface that displays a number of cards or windows. A user can implement a command where the user interface will automatically change the position of the displayed cards to show regions of interest which are the parts of the cards that a user may have interested in. The user interest can be determined in accordance with user preference information. Optionally, cards which do not have regions of interest are removed from a display area and such cards are replaced with new cards that do have regions of interest. | 05-22-2014 |
20140298215 | METHOD FOR GENERATING MEDIA COLLECTIONS - A user interface is used for selecting a time duration for a media collection shelf. The media shelf can be populated with graphical elements corresponding to selected media assets, where the cumulative time duration of selected media assets should not exceed the time duration of the media collection shelf. When placed within the media collection shelf, a graphical element corresponding to a media asset is scaled in proportion to the time duration of the media asset as compared to the time duration of the media collection shelf. Optionally, selected media assets within the media collection shelf are played back in a particular order specified by a user. | 10-02-2014 |

20090241541 | PRE-TURBO EXAHUST FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - An air induction and exhaust system for a diesel engine provides particulate filtering upstream from a turbocharger assembly in the exhaust system. The air induction system provides for compression of the charge air, with an induction compressor being part of a turbocharger system. The exhaust and induction impellers are located outside of a vehicle engine compartment to aid thermal management. The exhaust system provides a diesel particulate filter which is located in the exhaust system in close proximity to an engine exhaust manifold and upstream from the exhaust impeller of the turbocharger. With the diesel particulate filter so located exhaust heat helps initiate carbon oxidation in the filter, and heat generated by oxidation in the filter contributes to turbocharger operation. | 10-01-2009 |
