  • Patent number: 7734313
    Abstract: A first mobile station (102) can be wirelessly linked to a second mobile station (104). A physical location of the second mobile station with respect to a physical location of the first mobile station can be determined. A first player (112) using the first mobile station can be presented an icon (402) representing a second player using the second mobile station. The icon can be presented from a perspective of an eye level view. At least one targeting icon (410) can be presented to the first player to facilitate targeting of the second player. A physical stimuli can be generated from the first mobile station and/or the second mobile station in response to a simulated weapon activation on the first mobile station. The physical stimuli can be a narrowly focused ultrasound beam (302) modulated to generate an audible sound when a propagation of the ultrasound beam is disrupted by a physical object.

  • Publication number: 20080155591
    Abstract: A system (10), device (14) and method (70) for providing advertisement content in multimedia content based on the viewing location of the multimedia content, e.g., the viewing location of multimedia content place-shifted from a video processing device to a communication device. The method includes providing the viewing location of multimedia content received by a video processing device to an advertisement content provider, such as multimedia content place-shifted from the video processing device to a communication device, and transmitting new advertisement content from the advertisement content provider to the video processing device based on the viewing location of the multimedia content, e.g., the place-shifted multimedia content. The method also includes inserting the new advertisement content into the multimedia content based on the viewing location of the multimedia content.
