Abstract: A system is provided for remote control of electronic devices. An automation controller can be used to control electronic devices via a network. A communication port for the automation controller is used to provide control signals for at least one electronic device via the network. An analog receiver module receives analog video signals from analog sources. A digital display module can receive a digital control interface from the automation controller. The digital control interface can include automation graphical interface controls. A display module, coupled to the automation controller, is used to composite the digital control interface received from the digital display module into a composite image with analog video signals.

Abstract: A mobile information management system supporting the association of information items, such as, for example, one or more among files or portions of files (such as images), documents, videos, notes, location registrations, document markups, or the like with a particular location on a context-specific reference map, such as a floor plan. In some embodiments, uploaded files can be designated as reference maps, which, if desired, can then be assigned a coordinate system for display of one or more among registration pins, information pins, and current mobile device locations. Some applications provide for location-based notification and propagation of the associated information items to mobile devices on request, automatically, or both. At least a portion of the system is operable on and accessible from a mobile device, and can facilitate the real time, on-site association of one or more information items with a location on a map.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to enable distribution of media content across a network using physical verification. The system includes a media server configured to send media content across a local network. A storage device can be in communication with the media server, and the storage device may store media content having encryption and provide the media content to the media server. A media reader that is in communication with the media server can be checked by the media server to determine whether a recording of the media content on removable physical media is loaded in the media reader in order to allow the media server to distribute the media content previously stored on the storage device. An output device can be enabled to receive media content from the media server and to reproduce the media content for an end user.
