  • Publication number: 20190222876
    Abstract: A method for a media environment driven content distribution platform includes obtaining synchronization data derived from the content and ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data derived from the content, and communicating the synchronization data derived from the content and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data derived from the content to the content synchronizes the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content to the content.

  • Publication number: 20190208236
    Abstract: Coordinates as ancillary data in a media environment driven content distribution platform may include obtaining synchronization data and ancillary data that identifies a set of coordinates representing a location within a visual portion of the audiovisual content, the ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data, and communicating the synchronization data and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data to the audiovisual content synchronizes the set of coordinates representing the location within the visual portion of the audiovisual content.

  • Publication number: 20190082234
    Abstract: Curating ancillary data to be presented to audience members of a visual program content may include a) creating a timeline rule that correlates ancillary data objects to respective visual program content features, the visual program content features correlated to respective instances on a timeline of the visual program content, b) creating an environmental rule to correlate the ancillary data objects to respective environmental features of an audience member; and c) indicating that the ancillary data objects are to be presented to the audience member when both the timeline rule and the environmental rule are met such that the ancillary data objects may be presented to the audience member when both a) the respective ones of the visual program content features appear in the visual program content during playback by the audience member and b) the respective environmental features are present.

  • Patent number: 9807726
    Abstract: A management system for a plant facility is disclosed. The system includes a server, a mobile terminal, and beacon transmitters. The beacon transmitter is attached to or embedded into a field device in the plant facility and broadcasts a beacon signal including an identifier of the field device. The server includes a display, a storage that stores process data corresponding to the identifiers, and a controller that receives wireless signals including the identifiers from the mobile terminal and identifies the process data corresponding to the identifiers received with the wireless signals. The mobile terminal includes a display, a beacon receiver that receives the beacon signals, and a controller that transmits the wireless signals to the server with the identifiers received with the beacon signals. At least one of the displays of the server and the mobile terminal displays the process data identified by the controller of the server.

  • Publication number: 20170205795
    Abstract: A system, method, and an apparatus relating to automatically setting up pre-upset warning conditions for entire systems based on drifting parameters. The drifting parameters may provide monitoring to operate the process so that the upset condition is never reached, by allowing the operator can take actions so that the process remains in a stable state. The aim is to monitor and limit variations in parameters to enable the operator to achieve a much tighter control on the process and not allow the alarm to occur in the first place. Additionally, the important values may be displayed in context, and the operator may directly manipulate the values through a variety of touch input.

  • Patent number: 9548894
    Abstract: A system and method for a Graphic User Interface used as the human machine interface (HMI) for Industrial Automation (IA) systems. The system and method use a peer-to-peer session framework between a console with one or more physically connected displays within a control room environment and a companion device. One or more embodiments of the disclosure relate to control of a console, or first device, in a control room by means of a companion device, or second device, through a peer to peer session framework. The use of the second device may provide additional capabilities beyond the pre-purposed capability provided by a dedicated Operator keyboard of the console server.

  • Publication number: 20150355787
    Abstract: A system and method for sending of data to a specified device without needing to preprogram a dedicated key of a human interface device. One embodiment provides for selection of a display where the display does not need to be programmed ahead of time. A user interface (UI) which allows the user to select the display is arranged in a similar configuration as the configuration of the physical display. In some embodiments, a method using another human interface device may be used. One embodiment may include the sending of data to a server, or first device, by means of a companion device, or second device. One embodiment provides for the sending of data to specific output devices for printing or manufacturing.
