Abstract: A method of dynamically managing software functionality of a plurality of non-general purpose computing devices via a network including receiving a management request, storing an identification file and a modification package, accessing the identification file with a management agent in response to the reception of the management request, establishing communication between the management agent and a corresponding deployment agent of the selected ones of the plurality of non-general purpose computing devices via the interface and receiving a status designation from each of the selected ones of the plurality of non-general purpose computing devices via a corresponding deployment agent, delaying the transfer of the modification package with deployment agents currently indicating a status of processing a previously initiated management request and initiating transfer of the modification package with deployment agents currently indicating an available status.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed that automatically interject brain activations into video imaging activities or other activities of daily living. During a video game, for example, an interrupt causes a pause in the game and a commencement of an activity involving but not limited to bilateral portions of the body, the peripheral vision of the game-player, and a visual pursuit-type and saccadic-type action on the video screen. Alternatively, the brain activation can be merged into the content of the video game so as to be generally indistinguishable to the user. Automatic feedback from the system encourages more frequent brain activations when performance is determined to be diminished and less frequent brain activations when performance is determined to be enhanced. The combination of events in the activity is believed to engage the frontal lobes of the brain as well as other brain structures and stimulate brain health.
