| 20090252039 | LEAST COST ROUTING - A system includes a communications device configured to selectively allow communications in a plurality of communications protocols, and a router configured to receive a communications request from a user. The router may determine a preferred communications protocol from the plurality of communications protocols, based on at least a portion of the received communications request. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090275308 | CONFIGURABLE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE - A communications device is configured to receive an input from a user device when the communications device is positioned proximate the user device. The user device includes a data store having at least an identifier. The communications device is configured to adjust at least one operational setting within the communications device upon receiving the input. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100043003 | SPEEDY EVENT PROCESSING - A method for event positioning includes categorizing events into event groups based on a priority level, buffering the events in each event group into a group event queue, and determining an optimized position for events within each queue based, at least in part, on a processing time and an expected response time for each event in the group event queue. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100079670 | MULTI-VIEW CONTENT CASTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - In an exemplary method, a plurality of video feeds carrying data representative of a plurality of event views is transformed into at least one video signal. The at least one video signal is distributed over at least one television carrier channel associated with a television programming channel and is received and processed by a receiver, including selectively providing one of the event views for display. In certain embodiments, user input is received with the receiver and different ones of the events views are toggled between for display in association with the television programming channel and in response to the user input. In certain embodiments, the event views include a plurality of player views associated with a multiplayer video game session. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100246802 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPENSATING AUDIO SIGNALS DURING A COMMUNICATION SESSION - An approach is provided for compensating audio signals during a communication session by receiving audio signals from parties to the communication session, sampling the audio signals to determine signal level and noise floor, and compensating the audio signals to bring each signal to approximately an equal level based on the determination. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100293566 | ANALYZING MEDIA CONTENT INTERACTION - A method includes receiving a transport stream, the transport stream including a content identifier associated with an instance of media content. The method further includes receiving a monitoring request that specifies at least one instance of media content. The method further includes determining if the specified instance of media content is currently being experienced by a user. If the specified instance of media content is currently being experienced by a user, then the method includes developing a set of interaction data by analyzing the user's interaction with the specified instance of media content in part by monitoring commands received from a control device, and providing the set of interaction data to another device. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110167274 | PROVIDING SERVICES TO DEVICES USING A ZIGBEE NETWORK - A network device may receive two different sets of authentication information from a user device over a ZigBee network. The network device may authenticate the user device based on the received two different sets of authentication information and permit, in response to authenticating the user device, the user device to obtain a service by exchanging information between the network device and the user device over the ZigBee network. | 07-07-2011 |
