Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to Bluetooth beacons and more particularly to methods and system for locating nearest Bluetooth beacons. In one embodiment, a method for locating a nearest Bluetooth beacon within a plurality of Bluetooth beacons is disclosed. The method includes identifying a latest highest Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value Bluetooth beacon associated with a highest RSSI value from within a set of latest scanned Bluetooth beacons. The method further includes computing at least one average RSSI value for a predefined number of RSSI value detections associated with at least one Bluetooth beacon within a latest and previous set of scanned Bluetooth beacons. Thereafter, the method includes identifying a highest average RSSI value Bluetooth beacon from within the latest and previous set of scanned Bluetooth beacons.

Abstract: A system comprises a first module and a second module, connected by a transmission line comprising first and second wires. The first module includes common mode voltage circuitry, for imposing a common mode voltage onto the first and second wires. The first module includes signal generation circuitry, for generating a signal voltage in response to first data, and for imposing the signal voltage as a differential signal onto the first and second wires during periods when the first module has first data to transmit. The second module includes current generation circuitry, for generating a signal current in response to second data, and for injecting the signal current as a differential current onto the first and second wires during periods when the second module has second data to transmit. The first module includes respective resistances connected to the first and second wires.

Abstract: Provided is an image editing device that enables a user to easily assign images to a plurality of pages of an album or the like so as to satisfy editorial restrictions. The image editing device acquires a plurality of pieces of image data; determines, based on respective photographed times of the plurality of pieces of image data and a reference time interval, details of an assignment of the plurality of pieces of image data to each of the plurality of pages so that an interval between photographed times of pieces of image data to be assigned to the each of the plurality of pages is the reference time interval or smaller; and outputs image output data on the each of the plurality of pages based on a result of the assignment.

Abstract: Provided is an image editing device that enables a user to easily assign images to a plurality of pages constituting an album or the like so as to satisfy editorial restrictions. In the image editing device: image data acquisition means (42) acquires a plurality of pieces of image data; page assignment means (43) determines, based on respective photographed times of the plurality of pieces of image data and a reference time interval, details of an assignment of the plurality of pieces of image data to each of the plurality of pages so that an interval between photographed times of pieces of image data to be assigned to the each of the plurality of pages is the reference time interval or smaller; and page image output means (44) outputs image output data on the each of the plurality of pages based on a result of the assignment.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, a method can include determining resource time data for an update contact data record corresponding to a state of a given resource in a distributed contact center system. A repository can be queried for conflicting data records associated with the given resource based on the resource time data. Any inconsistency for the resource time data can be resolved based on results to the querying and the update contact data record.

Abstract: A method for video playback uses only resources universally supported by a browser (“inline playback”) operating in virtually all handheld media devices. In one case, the method first prepares a video sequence for display by a browser by (a) dividing the video sequence into a silent video stream and an audio stream; (b) extracting from the silent video stream a number of still images, the number of still images corresponding to at least one of a desired output frame rate and a desired output resolution; and (c) combining the still images into a composite image. In one embodiment, the composite image having a number of rows, with each row being formed by the still images created from a fixed duration of the silent video stream.

Abstract: There is described a method, apparatus and a memory storing a computer program that operates to back-up data on a computer readable memory; and responsive to receiving a restore request to select a subset of the stored back-up data for restoring to a device based on operational capabilities of the device. In various embodiments, the operational capabilities can be determined from device capability indications received from the device which are used to select individual files of the back-up data set; security hashes on individual files can be generated, and sent to the device for each file of the subset; and/or the stored backup data is from a first device and the subset is restored to a second device based on operational capabilities of the second device which differ from those of the first device (for example, language capabilities of a multi-lingual software package).
