  • Patent number: 11922464
    Abstract: A system and method facilitate digital marketing for sponsors of live television broadcasts. The system allows a user, using an application on a computing device while a piece of sponsored content is being broadcast, to express an interest in the broadcast piece of sponsored content and the interest of the user is communicated to a backend system that selects an endpoint destination associated with the broadcast piece of sponsored content wherein the endpoint destination is a pointer to further digital information about the broadcast piece of sponsored content. The system and method may periodically change the selected endpoint destination based on an event in the sponsored piece of content.

  • Publication number: 20240029115
    Abstract: A method and system for digital marketing and the provision of digital content allows a user to express, using an application executed on a computing device while a piece of content is being broadcast using an analog or digital signal by an analog or digital radio or television station system, an interest in the broadcast piece of content that is communicated to a backend system. The backend system selects an end point destination that is a pointer to further digital information associated with the broadcast piece of content and communicates the end point destination for the broadcast piece of content to the user who can access the digital information.

  • Publication number: 20080101256
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring data transmission activity through a port of a switch device interconnecting nodes of a storage area network, the port transmitting data as words of predetermined length, one data word indicating idle port activity. The method includes steps of counting a number of transmitted words received from the port in a first counter device; and, for each word counted, comparing that word with a predetermined word indicating no (idle) port transmission activity. In response to the comparing, a number of matches are counted in a second counter device. In this manner, a ratio of a number of counted matches with a total amount of words counted indicates available bandwidth for transmitting additional data over that link. Preferably, this available bandwidth information is included in a link state record that the switch communicates to other switch devices interconnecting that link.

  • Publication number: 20050246590
    Abstract: An error logging and analysis system is used to detect a type of error condition, assign a numeric value corresponding to the severity of the error condition, record the time of the error condition, and determine the frequency between subsequent error conditions of the same type. A weighted error rate is generated as a function of the severity of the initial error condition, the frequency of subsequent error conditions, and a percentage of any preceding weighted error rates. These weighted error rates are compared to a predetermined threshold to determine if the error condition is statistically significant.
