Abstract: Aspects concern a system and method for determining a state of an electronic device comprising a processor arranged in wireless signal communication with the electronic device to obtain a first wireless signal associated with the electronic device, convert the first wireless signal to a first signal measurement, and compare the first signal measurement with a first threshold; wherein if the first signal measurement is less than the first threshold, the processor is operable to obtain a plurality of successive wireless signals associated with the first wireless signal and corresponding signal measurements over a predetermined period to determine a gradient measure, and if the gradient measure is negative over the predetermined period, the processor determines that the electronic device is in a first state.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for detecting movement of a user, comprising a portable device, database, and controller, portable device including a sensor assembly and processor, the sensor assembly having a sensor configurable to perform a first measurement, the processor configurable to compare the first measurement to a threshold value, and also configurable to transmit a code when the processor determines, based on the compare, that the first measurement is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the controller being configurable to receive a communication signal having the code and the controller also configurable to obtain, from the received communication signal, the code, and further the controller also configurable to display, on a graphical display, a notification message which includes at least an identification of the portable device user.

Abstract: A system for uploading, showcasing and selling news footage on the internet, comprising an upload control manager configured to receive an upload request from a wireless module on a recording device, the upload request including an identification number and a plurality of FTP servers, the upload control manager configured to select at least one FTP server from the plurality of FTP servers to service the upload request and receive the recorded news footage from the wireless module. The system further comprises a database server configured to receive the news footage from the FTP servers and for showcasing the footage on the internet to allow customers to preview and purchase the footage, wherein the at least one FTP server to service the upload request is selected based upon the upload control manager determining the least loaded FTP servers amongst the plurality of servers and user privileges tagged to the identification number.

Abstract: A memory card is described, the memory card having a wireless transceiver module, a central processor, and a storage module. The memory card when physically and operably engaged in and with a digital camera, is configured to wirelessly transmit digital data to an external device through the wireless transceiver module substantially in real time, and wirelessly receive digital data from the external device through the wireless transceiver module substantially in real time.

Abstract: There is provided a memory card capable of allowing a plurality of wireless communication devices to access digital files stored on the memory card. The memory card is configured to be electrically connected when inserted in a digital camera which has an inbuilt processor incapable of independently exporting digital files externally of the digital camera. There is also provided a method for allowing access to digital files on a memory card.

Abstract: Disclosed is a memory card having a central processor, a wireless transceiver module operatively connected to the central processor, a storage module operatively connected to the central processor, and a movement sensor operatively connected to the central processor. The movement sensor is configured to provide operational signals to the central processor as a result of a detection of movement of defined characteristics.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to convert digital data using a memory card operatively engaged with an apparatus such as a digital camera having control buttons but that does not have a keyboard or keypad. The memory card comprises a central processor, a conversion module and a storage module. The method includes placing the apparatus in a predetermined mode; activating the conversion module in the memory card; selecting at least one file stored in the memory card; and converting the selected at least one file.

Abstract: A data storage device 5 having a storage capacity of at least 8 Mbyte is surrounded by a housing including a stylus portion 23, having a tip 25 for indicating a position. The stylus includes a position sensing device for generating position data indicative of the position of stylus. The stylus further includes wireless communication means for transmitting and/or receiving data for storage, and also transmitting the position data. The position sensing device may be an accelerometer. Alternatively, it may be a laser-reading head 243, for generating a signal based on received reflections from an emitted laser beam 245. The data storage device may further include an audio sensor 142, 242, and be arranged to distinguish vocal commands in the output of the audio sensor 142, 242.
