Abstract: Multiple different social networks are aggregated and placed together on a timeline. The timeline is arranged such that at any given time the user can see what information from each of the social networks was provided. The timeline is arranged in a two-dimensional grid, with the horizontal grid showing time, and the vertical grid showing the type, where the type can be video, text, wall posts, and photos. The user can select which of their friends information to appear on the timeline and can also select which of multiple different social network type sites provide content to the timeline.

Abstract: A smart card capable of performing more than one function, said smart card comprising a first memory means comprising a first set of data to access a bank account, a second set of data to access a credit card account, a third set of data representing the identification of a holder of the smart card, and a fourth set of data to access telephone communication services. The smart card further comprises a microprocessor, said microprocessor being in electrical communication with a second memory means, and a location tracking means for determining a location of the smart card.

Abstract: Medical device that scans medical parameters and communicates via a cell phone. The cell phone can communicate the parameters to a remote location and/or or can analyze them. The medical device can be powered by the cell phone or can be wireless. A relatively large area for a pad that forms the surface area that determines the medical information can thus be obtained.

Abstract: Image or video from a cell phone is processed to expand the image in a way to display it on a high definition video screen.

Abstract: A computing system can be a cell phone that communicates with a social network. The social network can be a website that stores connections between people, and uses the user's login credentials to communicate with said social networking website. The processor automatically obtains event information about friends of the user from said social networking website, and displays said event information on said display. The user can purchase at least one digital gift for a recipient who is one of said friends having an amount and being redeemable for goods and/or services. That purchase is communicated to at least one of the friends, and automatically posted on the social networking website in a way that is shown to users of the social networking website other than the user and the recipient.

Abstract: The sprocket shaped menu accepts selections of information from the menu, where selecting an item in the menu causes other parts of the look of the menu to change. In one embodiment, this can cause a break in the menu which shows a preview. In another embodiment, touching an item on the menu can cause an automatic update of the other items unless those other items have been automatically updated within a predetermined time before, such as within 15 minutes.

Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and Methods for immersive advertising on a wide area network, such as the Internet or World Wide Web. Immersive advertisements are customized presentations developed and imbedded within the body of web content. They can take the form of non-static images imbedded within a configurable primary image model or they can be a non-configurable, highly stylized, and animated component imbedded within the content of a web page.

Abstract: Techniques to follow objects in a video. An object detector detects the object, and an object tracker follows that object even when the detectable part cannot be seen. The object can be tagged in its display. The object can be individual team members in a video showing sports. A color filter that is based on colors of a uniform of a team of the team member can be used to restrict an area of said automated object detection.

Abstract: A transmedia mapping system

Abstract: Video clips are stored and converted on a website into different formats which are compatible with different cellular phones. The source for the video can be sources such as DVDs, other cellular phones, or broadcast television. The system can automatically store profiles from multiple different phones and automatically carry out a conversion based on information stored in the profile.

Abstract: A target object is found in a target image, by using a computer for determining an orientation field of at least plural pixels of the target image, where the orientation field describes pixels at discrete positions of the target image being analyzed according to an orientation, and location. The orientation field is mapped against an orientation field in model images in a database to compute match values between the orientation field of the target image and orientation field of model images in the database. The match values are thresholded, and those match values that exceed the threshold to are counted to determine a match between the target and the model.

Abstract: A cellular multiscreen system forms an image which can be a frame of a video or still image, divides that image into a number of parts, and sends each part to a different cellular telephone. The cellular telephones which receives the images collectively can display the images so that one can see the original image by looking at the multiple different cellular telephones. A game can also be played by determining which of the cellular phones receive which portion of the image.

Abstract: A system of communicating over cellular telephones using symbols in place of language parts. The symbols are downloaded as part of the lookup table. A user can enter a message in text, and that message is converted into the symbols. The symbols can then be sent to a different interactive device, which can read those symbols, and convert them into text in a different language. The user sees the symbols and begins to learn meanings of the symbols. In addition, the symbols are language independent.
