Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for a remote controller communication network. The system may comprise one or more remote controllers communicatively coupled with a plurality of input and/or output devices, including but not limited to one or more display devices, peripheral devices, and/or switches. In some embodiments, a plurality of remote controllers may each be configured for initiating one of a plurality of activities that involve an overlapping subset of communicatively coupled devices. A determination as to whether a communicatively coupled device is available for a requested activity may be achieved through communication of status information between the remote controllers and/or other system devices.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for displaying an advertisement to one or more consumers in proximity to advertising space. The presence of the consumer(s) in proximity to the advertising space can be detected and information associated with the consumer(s) can be received or retrieved. Transaction information can then be transmitted to an auction environment where advertisers can evaluate the transaction information and make determinations as to whether to bid for the advertising space and how much to bid for the advertising space. The winning bidder in the auction may then select and/or transmit an advertisement for display at the advertising space that is tailored to the consumer. In this manner, an advertisement directed at an individual, a group, or a portion of a group may be displayed at the advertising space during a time in which the individual, group, or portion of the group can view the advertisement.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for translating an utterance into text for display to a user. The approximate location of one or more potential speakers can be determined and a detected utterance can be assigned to one of the potential speakers based, at least in part, on a temporal relationship between the commencement of lip movement by one of the potential speakers and the reception of the utterance. The utterance can be converted to text and, if necessary, translated from a source language to a destination language. The converted text can then be displayed to the user in an augmented reality environment such that the user can intuitively appreciate to which of the potential speakers the converted text should be attributed.
