Abstract: A product is traditionally experienced in XR mainly through sight that accounts for about 80% of sensory inputs, thereby impeding an immersive experience of a product. In the present disclosure, an object's form factor guides a user's gestures in carrying out actions on an augmentation. A suitable physical object marker mimics physical touch interaction with a virtual product. Leveraging the sense of touch, the user gains deeper understanding of the virtual product, since the product responds to the user's natural gestures. In accordance with the present disclosure, transform data in the form of a position, an orientation and a scale associated with the physical object and user's hands handling the physical object are recorded to identify an associated gesture. Utilizing gesture to action mapping, the user's action is translated to the virtual product. The augmentation is modified in real time to provide an immersive experience.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for addressing issues caused by interruptions that may occur while operating under the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 35.1 standard. A method, according to one implementation, includes obtaining PM data during a current Measurement Interval of an ongoing PM session in accordance with MEF 35.1. The PM data can be locally stored as a current dataset and reported at the end of the current Measurement Interval for storage in a history database. Following an interruption event that interrupts at least the current Measurement Interval, the method detects a recommencement event that clears the interruption event and allows a PM session to resume. The method further includes determining a number of Measurement Intervals affected by the interruption event based on an end time of a last-reported Measurement Interval and then inserting the number of affected Measurement Intervals into the history database after the last-reported Measurement Interval.

Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for providing closed-loop Information Technology (IT) issue remediation. At least one host state change is discovered. Events to be generated and persisted as a result of discovering the at least one host state change are calculated. The events are sent to a user for approval by the user or to be declined by the user. For each event one of an approval of the event or a rejection of the event is received. A workflow is executed for the approval or rejection of the event.

Abstract: A system to provide personalized promotional content using a broadcast television signal is described. Broadcast television content contains an information band called as ticker band (38) that carries promotional information along with a video signal. This promotional content is captured and stored as several images that correspond to information sets (40). This captured content that is image based is played out in the television optionally with original promotional content, thus providing a personalized promotional information band. This system enables capturing and recalling promotional information reliably for both over the air and terrestrial television broadcasts and works with existing television receivers without needing upgrades to video distribution networks.

Abstract: A BYOD solution using a combination device is described. This combination device is comprised of an employee owned smart mobile device (31) and an accessory device (32) used together using a wireless local area network (46). Mobile device (31) is an employee owned device that is used as a remote display of display output of enterprise certified applications (49) executing at accessory device (32). Accessory device (32) is comprised of a general purpose processor, optional graphics processing unit, one or more local wireless area network interfaces that connect the mobile device (31) to accessory device (32), and one or more Internet network interfaces (52) that connect accessory to enterprise network. The BYOD accessory device acts as a secure hardware gateway to connect the mobile device to corporate network. The BYOD accessory device also acts as a secure execution environment of corporate applications in addition to providing secure storage of corporate data.

Abstract: A binary data transfer system is described to transfer data from data source (31) to data destination (32). The system partitions placement and type data from binary data to be transferred as independent data streams and retains binary format of data source (31) including type information, padding information and endian information for the network transfer. This eliminates data parsing overheads at a data source (31) and reduces data parsing overheads required at a data destination (32). In this system, data destination (32) decodes transferred binary data using software code (47) transferred from data source (31). This transferred software code (47) optionally decodes base sixty four encoding and uses the type information, padding information and endian information to extract data from binary data stream at data destination (32). This system is applicable to any binary data transfer system between any data source and destination like a web browser client that accesses a server on the web.

This is achieved by organizing data at interactive content cache server (42) such that data and corresponding meta data about said data can be viewed and interacted with by mobile device (32) users. This enables users to download alternate content associated with other users that may be related to their interest thereby improving the cache hit rate exponentially.

Abstract: A method to transmit local area radio broadcast signals (38) that is coupled to wide area radio broadcast signals (39) is described. Local area radio broadcasting is used to transmit audio content from personal audio players into the audio of an automobile. Local area radio broadcast signals (38) are coupled to wide area radio broadcast signals (39) using time based or algorithm based time slot allocation methods. A personal audio player such as a smartphone (32) or a music player is enabled with a local area broadcast radio signal transmitter (53) that transmits radio signals into a desired channel (35) which may be occupied by a wide area transmitter (68). The local area transmission may be mutually exclusive or overlapping with wide area transmission. When overlapping, signal cancellation techniques may be used such that a signature signal from wide area broadcast station may be cancelled by local area broadcast.

Motorists are tracked using their cellular device to check if a reward can be given or not, based on travel undertaken in the allotted time slot.

Abstract: A mobile device (31) capable of processing radio broadcast signals (36) is described. Broadcast radio signals (36) are received by said mobile device (31) and converted to desired digital audio content format (52) and then combined with output of software applications (54) running at said mobile device (31) to create a combined radio broadcast signal (55) that can be received by a automobile broadcast radio receiver (83). Said radio broadcast signal (55) is transmitted to a automobile broadcast radio receiver (83) to enable a user to interact with audio content using software applications (54) of said mobile device (31). Transmission of combined radio broadcast signal (56) is done on a different radio broadcast frequency with low power signal.

Abstract: A smart download system is described that enables partitioning of data downloads from internet into a mobile device (31) using multiple hardware data interfaces in mobile device (31). In this system, a hyper text transfer protocol proxy server (36) is coupled to a download scheduler (37) in the mobile device (31), so that a user can schedule downloads based on certain conditions and associate these conditions with one or more data interfaces in the mobile device (31). When a condition is satisfied, the interface associated with this condition is activated to begin downloading of data and store the data in storage in the mobile device or pass it directly to an application that can consume internet data such as a browser application. The ability to configure data downloads to one or more data interfaces based on conditions enables efficient download of internet data across different interfaces and hence improves the overall efficiency of the system.
