20090119718 | MENUING SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING CONTENT DELIVERY WITHIN A VIDEO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A menuing system for a video distribution system provides an interactive display to allow a user to select and control the delivery of program material. A central host computer processes initial request for service from users and maintains a database of currently available program materials and other system resources. In response to a user's request for service, the central host computer assigns one of a plurality of assignable computing devices (ACDs) to communicate with the user. The ACD reads the database and presents an interactive menu to the user on the user's audiovisual display monitor. Using a graphical user interface (GUI) the user may then respond to the menu by selecting an item for viewing. The menuing system may have a number of levels that the user may parse through to allow the user to select desired program material. Upon selection by the user, the ACD passes the request on for further programming. | 05-07-2009 |

20080273803 | System, method and article of manufacture for decompressing digital camera sensor data - The present invention includes a system, method, and article of manufacture for decompressing a bit stream of compressed data representing a plurality of image blocks. This includes a two-step method of processing both a DC code and a plurality of AC codes. With respect to the processing of the AC codes, a plurality of bits of compressed input data relating to the AC codes are first retrieved from the bit stream. A first decoding operation is then executed based on the obtained compressed input data in order to generate first output data. It is then determined whether sufficient space is available for the first output data. If it is determined that there is sufficient space for the first output data, the first output data is outputted. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is insufficient space for the first output data, an alternate second decoding operation is executed in order to generate second output data. In order to carry out the foregoing decoding operations, a data structure is provided in a look-up table for being employed by the AC decoder during use. Such data structure includes a plurality of data segments each having a payload and a pointer. The payload includes a plurality of bits in one of a plurality of coding schemes. Further, the pointer corresponds to a routine which is capable of processing the coding scheme of the payload associated with the pointer. The first decoding operation first includes the step of performing a look-up in the look-up table based on the obtained compressed input data. The pointer is then retrieved from one of the data segments that corresponds to the obtained compressed input data. Next, the routine corresponding to the retrieved pointer is executed. The payload is then processed in the executed routine in order to generate the first output data. The foregoing routine that processes the payload of the data segment in order to generate the first output data may take many forms. | 11-06-2008 |

20140052854 | CONTENT DELIVERY WITH LIMITED FREE SERVICE BASED ON PARAMETERIZED BEHAVIORAL MODEL - A user is allocated a first period of limited free access to content; the user's activity during the first period is monitored; and the user is assigned to a particular cohort based on the user's activity during the first period. Each cohort prescribes one or more conditions governing additional free access by users assigned to that cohort. The user is allocated a usage allowance based on the conditions prescribed in the cohort to which the user was assigned; and the user's actual usage is enforced according to the conditions prescribed in that cohort. After a time period prescribed by that cohort, the user is given an opportunity to become a subscriber to the system. If the user does not become a subscriber then the user's usage allowance is adjusted based on conditions prescribed in that cohort. | 02-20-2014 |
