Abstract: A system for executing, on a secondary screen device, interactive events linked to predetermined program content played on a main screen device. The secondary screen device has channel tuning capability for selecting channels to be played on the main screen device. The system includes an application service platform adapted to communicate with the secondary screen device for monitoring the channels selected to be displayed on the main screen device. The application service platform determines when the predetermined program content is played on the main screen device. The application service platform is adapted to send to the secondary screen device one or more of the interactive events linked to the predetermined program content.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a real-time wideband compressor for multi-dimensional data. The compressor comprises a plurality of compression engines for simultaneously compressing a plurality of data subsets of a set of input data vectors and providing compressed data thereof using one of SAMVQ or HSOCVQ data compression. Each compression engine comprises an along spectral vectors codevector trainer as well as an across spectral bands codevector trainer. The compression engines are programmable to perform either along spectral vectors codevector training or across spectral bands codevector training in combination with one of the SAMVQ or HSOCVQ techniques without changing hardware. The compressor further comprises a network switch for partitioning the set of input data vectors into the plurality of data subsets, for providing each of the plurality of data subsets to one of the plurality of compression engines, and for transmitting the compressed data.
