Abstract: A network device for enhanced mobile device network connectivity to wireless networks is provided that includes a user interface, a hardware processor, and a non-transitory memory configured to store one or more programs. The hardware processor executes the one or more programs to store a map of wireless networks, calculate a route of travel for an electronic device, and determine a list of wireless networks connectable to the electronic device. A schedule is created for connecting the electronic device to the wireless networks on the list and connecting the electronic device to a first one of the wireless networks on the schedule along the route. The electronic device switches sequentially from the first one of the wireless networks to a next one of the wireless networks in the schedule so the electronic device is connected to at least one of the wireless networks on the schedule while moving along the route.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a descriptive video service track for a video asset. Different scenes and/or scene transitions are detected in a predetermined version of the video asset via automated media analysis. Gaps in dialogue are detected in the at least one scene via automated media analysis. Objects appearing in the at least one scene are recognized via automated media analysis, and text descriptive of at least one of the objects appearing in the at least one scene is automatically generated. An audio file of the text descriptive of the at least one of the objects appearing in the at least one scene of the predetermined version of the video asset is generated and used as part of a descriptive video service track for the video asset.

Abstract: A method is provided for presenting a program having a selected program rating when a user request is received through a client device to present a program at a selected program rating level. A version of the program is selected from among a plurality of different versions which corresponds to the selected program rating level. The selected version of the program is caused to be presented on a display device associated with the client device.

Abstract: A device is provided for use with a viewing device that operable to display a video. The device includes: an image receiver to receive image data; a closed caption receiver to receive closed caption data; an image decoder to decode the image data into image display data; a closed caption decoder to decode the closed caption data into closed caption display data; a packaging component to generate a first content package based on the image display data and the closed caption display data; an output port to output the first content package to the viewing device to display a first video image over a first period of time; an instruction receiver to receive a closed caption modification instruction and to output an image modification signal based on the closed caption modification instruction; and a closed caption modifying component to generate modified closed caption display data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for patent claim visualization that automatically generate a visual claim hierarchy graph from a listing of the claim text. Rejection information may be added automatically by lexically analyzing an Office Action. Additionally, the user of this system can then provide additional information, including descriptions of the claim elements, and any rejections applied to the claims. Embodiments of the present invention can generate a visual representation of each claim, as well as indicating references and technical issues applied against those claims as part of the office action. In an exemplary embodiment, the visual information is presented in an HTML page, such that it may be viewed with a conventional HTML browser, and may be interacted with by the user to quickly see the rejections applied to any given claim. Embodiments of the present invention also provide different symbols for rejected versus non-rejected claims.
