Patent number: 7251697Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for streaming an XML document/content in a structured manner that allows the receiver to decode prioritized portions of an XML document. Document models, such as XML Schemas, are utilized in converting XML documents into prioritized portions that are transmitted according to a predefined scheme. Thus, the present invention allows the XML receiver to begin processing the most important XML portions of an XML stream first as well as in mid-transmission and allowing a user to end the transmission before lower priority XML portions are received.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2002Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20030085267Abstract: An Internet enabled remote tag-processing terminal is disclosed for facilitating commercial transactions using competitive information. A remote terminal reads/scans product tags or labels, and their content is transmitted to a service node to conduct an on-line search for competitive information on similar products. The service node then sends an information response to the remote terminal, which allow a user (1) to determine whether to complete a commercial transaction while in a retailer location, (2) complete an on-line commercial transaction in response to the received competitive information or (3) adjust the scanned tag or search parameters to conduct a new search.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2001Publication date: May 8, 2003Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20030081740Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a messaging arrangement allowing a user to remotely receive or download callerID information regarding a call made to the user's telephone/messaging system (MS), regardless whether the caller stored a message in a recipient's MS. The MS stores the caller's callerID information in a recipient's storage medium. Thereafter, the user or other authorized person, who has reached the user's MS, is provided access to the particular stored callerID information. The user can retrieve the callerID information, for example using a remote terminal, such as a wireless phone, or download the information to a PDA or a computer/Internet appliance via the Internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2001Publication date: May 1, 2003Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20030037329Abstract: An arrangement for the control of viewing of a video/television program in which a rating code and an alternative segment code are transmitted with the video/television signal. The codes are decoded and processed via a microcontroller. A viewer of the video signal is able to enter codes of permitted program ratings using a remote control unit. The rating codes are based upon the content of the video signal. Alternative segments for the video/television signal may be substituted for possibly objectionable content based upon a comparison of the received codes and the permitted program ratings segments of video/television signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2001Publication date: February 20, 2003Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Tony E.
