Abstract: Technologies relating to system and method of real-time video overlaying or superimposing display from multiple mutually synchronous cameras. are disclosed. An example method of real-time video overlaying includes the steps of: synchronizing frame rates of a depth data, a face meta data, and a video data of a first camera video output captured by a first camera; determining a first depth between a user face and the first camera; using a cutoff depth to determine a user body contour; generating a binary mask of the user body contour based on the first depth and the cutoff depth; smoothing an edge of the binary mask; merging the binary mask with the first camera video output and generating a merged first camera video output; and overlaying the merged first camera video output onto a second camera video output.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus configured to provide a chart of content items to a plurality of user devices. The apparatus is configured to enable individual users to temporarily access one or more content items listed in the chart. The apparatus comprises a user device interface configured to communicate with user device applications and a permissions module configured to define user access permissions, including temporary user access permissions, relating to individual ones of the one or more items of content. The apparatus also provides a distribution module configured to implement permissions defined in the permission module in relation to user devices by making available one or more items of content listed in the chart to at least one user device application.

Abstract: A digital media content management apparatus and method for securely storing a content file on a computer readable medium and playing the content file from the computer readable medium is disclosed. The content file comprises control information readable by a content player and payload information including content data. The content file is deconstructed into at least one control information portion and at least one payload information portion being undetectable to a content player of a user device. The control information portion and the payload information portion are separately stored, and at least one of the portions is associated with packing data, and the packing data associated with at least one of the portions comprises a reference to the location of the other portion.

Abstract: An emergency alert device is adapted to be worn by a user and to automatically make a cellular phone call to an emergency services center upon activation by a user. The device automatically transmits its current location—derived from GPS, cellular telephone triangulation, or otherwise—via text message, if the emergency services center is equipped to receive text messages, or via a synthesized voice if the emergency services center is not so equipped. The user does not need to dial any phone numbers to activate the call. The device may be attached to, or incorporated into, a wrist watch. A text message is also automatically sent to a recipient who is pre-designated by the user. The text message includes the current location of the user. Repeated text messages are sent if the user's position changes by more than a threshold.
