  • Patent number: 8606301
    Abstract: A method and system for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate way points within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network are disclosed. Users carry or transport interface devices for communicating over the network and are able to record and view messages at specific coordinate locations while traveling in the network. The location of the device is calculated by the device or by the network while the device is powered on and within the physical boundaries of the network, or through a combination of both. Messages can be made available to network subscribers when their interface devices come within an area centered about a physical coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the boundaries of the network. Access of information about an asset is facilitated when a technician comes within a physical proximity threshold relative to the asset.

  • Publication number: 20080208844
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various implementations for locating industry profiles representing members of an entertainment platform community. The software can query a plurality of industry profiles with a first set of search criteria associated with a target member of the entertainment platform community and generate a first cache of industry profiles based on the first set of search criteria, the first cache a subset of the plurality of industry profiles. Further, the software can query the first cache with a second set of search criteria, wherein the second set of criteria are mutually exclusive from the first set of criteria, and generate a second cache of industry profiles based on the second set of search criteria, the second cache a subset of the first cache of industry profiles. The software can then present information from at least one industry profile represented in the second cache to an interface.

  • Publication number: 20020118284
    Abstract: This invention involves the use of a body worn mobile computer with a video camera to allow image alignment. Quite frequently a video camera user cannot look directly into the camera because of some obstruction. In these cases, in order to be sure the camera is pointed in the right direction and toward the object to be captured by the image, a head mounted display worn by the user and connected to a computer can simplify this process. An example of where this system can be used is when the camera operator is located in the rear of a crowd watching a parade. He or she can hold the camera viewer above the crowd and view the image in their head mounted display thereby moving the camera viewer in the desired direction. The visible image can then be simultaneously displayed to the viewer (or user) and stored or recorded on the wearable computer or even transmitted via the computer peripherals to a remote location.
