Abstract: An ad-hoc Adaptive Wireless Mobile Sound System comprises mobile phone nodes and a Master device for sending a query to the nodes, to verify whether they hold in their memory a specific song/track and to learn their music playing capabilities, for conveying to the nodes that do not have a specific file in their memory, a compressed audio stream of the file, for selecting, based on an answer to the query, an appropriate surround scheme that considers the mobile nodes capabilities, for publishing the surround scheme by which a playing role is allocated for each of the nodes, and for synchronizing the mobile nodes and to order them to play a stream audio file according to the surround scheme. In one embodiment, the Master is operable to select a compensating surround scheme when one of the nodes is found incapable of executing its allocated role during play time.

Abstract: A system for allowing the sharing of content available on the screen of a first user's mobile device with a second user, collectively comprises: i) A Screen Casting Engine, suitable to capture the screen of a first mobile device operating as a streamer device, and to send it to other mobile devices or computers over wireless network; ii) Stream Management Circuitry provided in said streamer device, which is suitable to direct the captured screens to multiple targets; iii) Key and touch injection engine, which is suitable to capture key events from a player mobile device or PC, and to send them back to the streamer; and, optionally iv) Social feedback software which allows two phone users to interact—one holding the streamer phone, and the other viewing his display by running a player.

Abstract: In a user interface a plurality of videos are simultaneously played for the purpose of allowing a user to select the desired video on the basis of a plurality of played frames.

Abstract: A method for enhancing voice conversations comprises providing a server interacting with two or more communication devices which carry out a voice communication, said communication devices being provided with software to simultaneously establish a TCP/IP connection between them, which is mediated by said server.

Abstract: A system for roaming TCP connections when the physical networks are changed, comprising a Virtual Network Interface Card (NIC) having a unique IP address.

Abstract: A method for providing location-based messages comprises locating a suitable placeholder for a message within a physical surrounding using a handheld device provided with image acquisition apparatus, and associating a written or visual or audio message, or a combination of two or more of them, with an image that identifies said placeholder, said association being carried out in a server adapted to communicate with said handheld device.

Abstract: System and method for visual pairing between wireless devices, according to which a first software component is installed on a first WCD with a display screen and a second software component is installed on a second WCD having a camera and then a request to establish an open WCC is sent from the second WCD to the first WCD. If the request is approved by the first WCD, an image with graphically encoded unique one-time information is generated on the display screen using the first software. The image is captured by the camera and the information is decoded in the captured image by using the second software component. This information is used to establish an open WCC between the second WCD and the first WCD.
