  • Publication number: 20170134451
    Abstract: Personalized content delivery using a dynamic network may include, using a processor, continually receiving, from each of a plurality of mobile devices, a location of the mobile device and a list specifying at least one RF device detected by the mobile device while at the location; and, estimating, using the processor, location information for the RF devices according to the locations and the lists. Using the processor, a determination may be made that a first RF device from the lists is proximate to a stationary presentation device. Responsive to the determining and using the processor, content may be provided to the stationary presentation device. The content may be selected, at least in part, according to the location information of the first RF device.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6738964
    Abstract: A graphical solutions development system using placement of blocks representing hardware/software functionality on a computer screen drawing and connecting the blocks by wires representing data and control flow to create application programs and/or hardware design. The blocks are instances of development components that include intelligence for optimization within a detected environment. This permits effective programming of digital signal processors and system design by users not expert in digital signal processing programming and system design.
