Abstract: Systems for controlling ablation procedures that include a user interface. The user interface can include a display; and a memory with a computer executable method stored thereon, the computer executable method adapted to cause to be displayed on the display a plurality of interactive elements for controlling one or more aspects of the ablation.

Abstract: Techniques segmenting a video using tags without modifying video data thereof are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, each tag is created to define a portion of the video, wherein the tags can be modified, edited, looped, reordered or restored to a create an impression other than that if the video was played back sequentially. The tags are so structured in a table included in a tagging file that can be shared or published electronically or modified or updated by others. Further the table may be modified to include one or more conditional or commercial tags.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating and displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed. The method includes displaying, via the GUI, a real-time video received from a camera disposed within an ablation catheter. The method further includes displaying, via the GUI, a graphical representation of a plurality of electrodes of the ablation catheter.

Abstract: Techniques to segment videos for instructions in conjunction with an exemplary musical representation are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a tag file is created to include a link to a source video and a plurality of tags. At least one of the tags is defined to correspond to a video portion of the source video to be associated with one or more notes in a music representation (e.g., music notes in a music score). The video portion is played back to show how the one or more notes are played whenever an area containing the one or more notes in the music representation is activated. The tag file is separate from the source video and video data representing the source video is never modified while video portions in the source video are segmented via the tag file to define pieces of the music representation, each containing one or more notes.

Abstract: Techniques segmenting a video using tags without interfering video data thereof are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, each tag is created to define a portion of the video, wherein the tags can be modified, edited, looped, reordered or restored to create an impression other than that of the video is simply played back sequentially. The tags are structured in a table included in a tagging file that can be shared with or published electronically to or modified or updated by others. Further the table may be modified to include one or more conditional or commercial tags.

Abstract: A computer system and method of operation thereof are provided that allow interactive navigation and exploration of logical processes. The computer system employs a data architecture comprising a network of nodes connected by branches. Each node in the network represents a decision point in the process that allows the user to select the next step in the process and each branch in the network represents a step or a sequence of steps in the logical process. The network is constructed directly from the target logical process. Navigation data such as image frame sequences, stages in the logical process, and other related information are associated with the elements of the network. This establishes a direct relationship between steps in the process and the data that represent them. From such an organization, the user may tour the process, viewing the image sequences associated with each step and choosing among different steps at will.

Abstract: Techniques for navigating a real world via interactive maps are disclosed. According one aspect, at least one or more databases are maintained in one or more servers. A computing device is caused to display a first portion of the interactive map generated from a logic process based on a first database, wherein the first portion of the interactive map represents a first part of a real world (e.g., a shopping mall) and includes one or more nodes, one or more branches, and one or more of hotspots in the real world, each of the hotspots represents a point of interest that is selectable to show details about the point of interest. Auxiliary data associated with the each of the hotspots is accessed when the user selects one of the hotspots, and subsequently displayed to show a visual effect about the hotspot so that the user understands more about the hotspot.

Abstract: Techniques for providing interactive maps are disclosed. According one aspect, a method for navigating an electronic map comprises: displaying an electronic map in accordance with an inquiry from a user, the electronic map including routes from one point to another point, wherein each of the routes includes one or more hotspots; displaying a navigation of the map with a selected route by the user; alerting the user when a hotspot is being approached; accessing auxiliary data associated with the hotspot when the user selects the hotspot, wherein the auxiliary data is not part of the electronic map being displayed but is obtained from an external source; and subsequently displaying from the auxiliary data an visual effect about the hotspot so that the user understands more about the selected hotspot.

Abstract: A computer system and method of operation thereof are provided that allow interactive navigation and exploration of spatial enviroments, both real and virtual. The computer system employs a data architecture comprising a network of nodes connected by branches. Each node in the network represents an intersection in the real environment that allows a user of the computer system to select which path to follow. Likewise, each branch in the network represents a path connecting physcial intersections in the real environment. The network is constructed directly from a map of the target environment. Navigation data such as image frame sequences, intersections between paths, and other related information are associated with the elements of the network. This establishes a direct relationship between locations in the environment and the data which represent them.
