Abstract: Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. In an example, a secondary television receiver receives audio data, converts the audio data into voice command data, and transmits the voice command data to a primary television receiver. In response, the primary television receiver transmits the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet, receives a command generated based on the voice command data, and transmits the command to the secondary television receiver. Based on the command, an operation of the secondary television receiver is controlled.

Abstract: A clinical information system comprises processing circuitry configured to: receive a user input from a user, wherein the user input instructs the performing of a first action on first medical data for a subject; determine based on the user input and/or the first action at least one input term; determine at least one further term that is conceptually related to the at least one input term; determine whether any stored action of a set of stored actions is associated with the at least one further term; and if a stored action is associated with the at least one further term: perform said stored action on second medical data for the subject; and provide to the user a notification of said stored action.

Abstract: Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. A primary television receiver executing a first operating system can receive audio data including human voice from a voice enabled remote control. The primary television receiver can transmit the audio data to a secondary television receiver executing a second operating system and that includes a voice command component. The secondary television receiver can convert the audio data into voice command data and transmit the voice command data to the primary television receiver. The primary television receiver can transmit the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet and receive, in response, a command generated based on the voice command data. The primary television receiver can transmit the command to the secondary television receiver. The voice command component can then control an operation of the secondary television receiver based on the command.

Abstract: A medical system comprises processing circuitry configured to: load medical images sequentially from a data store which stores a set of medical images, each having an associated location; receive a current location of a medical image that is currently displayed on the display; receive an input operation from a user; process the input operation to determine whether the input operation is of a first type or the input operation is of a second type, wherein the first type of input operation is intended to be less precise than the second type of input operation, and to determine a destination location in dependence on the current location and the input operation; perform a first display operation based on the destination location if the input operation is of the first type; and perform a second display operation based on the destination location if the input operation is of the second type.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for planning, executing, reviewing, and reporting the results of an advertising campaign to be run on TV. A demand-side platform receives ad slot opportunities from TV programming sources, and analyzes the ad slots to produce a prioritized list of placement opportunities for the advertising campaign to be presented to advertiser/clients. Each ad slot is analyzed with respect to past viewership data and with respect to desired targeting characteristics that may include conventional age and gender targeting, or additionally strategic targeting characteristics. Scores are established for each ad slot with respect to numbers of projected on-target impressions and/or a cost for projected on-target impressions. The scores are sorted to produce the prioritized list. Projected results can be viewed with respect to any or all of network, day, and daypart. After a campaign has completed, viewership data representing actual results is acquired, processed, and reported.

Abstract: Media content systems and methods are operable to detect sound using one or more microphones during presentation of a media content event. The audio content output is changed by a remedial action that is performed if the audio content detected by the microphones does not correspond to the intended audio content of the presented media content event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing a fused sample of viewership data to determine a behavior profile of online viewers who watched and/or didn't watch certain TV advertisements, where the TV advertisements are aligned with campaign targeting characteristics desired by an advertiser/client working with a demand side platform. Then, a campaign targeting plan is developed for dividing an advertising budget between digital media and TV impressions. The digital media portion of the campaign profiles Media Properties (MPs) contained in a historical database from past digital advertising campaigns across multiple digital formats and screens, and aligns digital ad placement with MPs having desired targeting characteristics. An optimized apportionment is automatically produced between TV and digital media spending based on an advertiser/client's goals of duplicating or not duplicating viewership of an advertisement between TV and digital media, or alternately based on cost alone.

Abstract: Media device systems and methods synchronize video content with audio content presented by a plurality of wireless audio headsets. In an exemplary embodiment, a first time delay corresponds to a first duration of time between communication of the audio content from the media device and presentation of the audio content by a first wireless audio headset. A second time delay corresponds to a second duration of time between communication of the audio content from the media device and presentation of the audio content by a second wireless audio headset, wherein the first time delay is greater than the second time delay. Video content communicated to a display is delayed by the first time delay. Audio content communicated to the second wireless audio headset is delayed by a time delay difference between the first time delay and the second time delay.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for allowing a user with a Smartphone to pair the Smartphone with another Bluetooth device to receive audio that is played to the user over headphones or through speakers on the Smartphone. Further, an audio processing module is used to modify the audio presented to the user, extract closed captioning text to be displayed to the user, find information relevant to the audio to be displayed to the user, and pause audio content sent to the Smartphone when phone calls or other Smartphone interruptions occur.
