Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide the capability to identify a specific object being interacted with that may be cheaply and easily included in mass-produced objects. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for object identification may comprise receiving a signal produced by a physical interaction with an object to be identified, the signal produced by an identification structure coupled to the object during physical interaction with the object, processing the signal to form digital data representing the signal, and accessing a database using the digital data to retrieve information identifying the object.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for precise target positioning in geographical imaging are provided. The system includes: a sensor including a camera and a telemetry information provider; and a simulated image mechanism for simulating an image of the view from the camera generated from an orthophotograph. A display displays a geographical image of a view from the camera and simultaneously displaying the simulated image. A selection component is provided for selecting a location on the simulated image. This is done by reference to a target in the geographical image. A world coordinates calculating component accurately calculates the world coordinates for the selected location from the simulated image.

Abstract: A method comprising using at least one hardware processor for: receiving an aerially-captured video and metadata associated with the video; receiving deviation data indicative of an amount of inaccuracy in the metadata; and overlaying, on the video, a geographic annotation descriptive of an object of interest having known geographic coordinates, wherein the geographic annotation is of a size and a shape representative of the amount of inaccuracy.

Abstract: A method and system for display of a video file are provided in which multiple time segments of the video file are displayed simultaneously to enable small changes to be identified in less time than viewing the entire file in a single playback. The method includes dividing a first portion of a video file into multiple segments each of a same time duration and sending each of the multiple segments of the first portion of the video file to be played simultaneously in multiple windows of a display device. The method then includes dividing a second portion of a video file starting at the end of the first portion, into multiple segments each of a same time duration and sending each of the multiple segments of the second portion of the video file to be played simultaneously in multiple windows of the display device. The method is repeated for subsequent portions until the entire video file has been played.

Abstract: System for transmitting one or more presentation data streams from a presentation workstation. In response to receiving an input to open a presentation application, operating parameters are obtained for a presentation to provide presentation operating parameters for the presentation. One or more selected presentation data streams are captured based on the obtained presentation operating parameters. Then, the one or more captured presentation data streams are transmitted based on the obtained presentation operating parameters directly from the presentation workstation to one or more viewing devices via a network without utilizing an intervening server.

Abstract: A method for querying an electronic dictionary using letters of an alphabet enunciated by a user includes accepting a speech input from the user. The speech input includes a sequence of spelled letters enunciated by the user that spell a query word. The speech input is analyzed to determine one or more sequences of the letters that approximate the sequence of spelled letters. The one or more sequences of the letters are post-processed so as to produce a plurality of recognized words approximating the query word. The electronic dictionary is queried with the plurality of recognized words so as to retrieve a respective plurality of dictionary entries. A list of results including the plurality of recognized words and the respective plurality of dictionary entries is presented to the user.

Abstract: A method for adapting a game session on a first device for continued play on a second device, the method including establishing a game session on a first device, scaling the functionality of the game within the game session, and continuing the game session with the scaled game functionality on a second device.
