Abstract: A system for processing video segments is disclosed. The system includes a descriptor instantiator for creating a descriptor and ascribing at least one value thereto for a corresponding video segment. The system also includes a video constructor for assembling an output video production from at least two video segments, including means for selecting the at least two video segments according to values of at least one descriptor corresponding to the at least two video segments and means for sequencing the at least two video segments according to values of at least one descriptor corresponding to the at least two video segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods to implement a fitness network system are disclosed. A disclosed example system includes a first data terminal operatively coupled to an exercise machine. The first data terminal is configured to obtain fitness information associated with a fitness member from the exercise machine. The example system also includes a personal digital assistant wirelessly communicatively coupled to the first data terminal via a network. The first data terminal is configured to communicate a first message to the personal digital assistant based on the fitness information. The personal digital assistant enables a fitness trainer to communicate a message to the fitness member based on the first message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring quality of service for an exercise machine communications network are disclosed. A disclosed example system for monitoring a quality of service for an exercise machine communication network comprises a server and an exercise machine console communicatively coupled to the server via the exercise machine communication network and operatively coupled to an exercise machine. The exercise machine console is configured to communicate exercise machine usage information to the server, and the server is configured to determine network performance associated with the exercise machine network based on the exercise machine usage information.

Abstract: Systems and methods to implement a physical rehabilitation system are disclosed. A disclosed example system includes at a first location an exercise machine and a biometric sensor configured for use by a person. The example system further includes at a second location a computing device communicatively coupled to the exercise machine and the biometric sensor, wherein the computing device is configured to obtain fitness information from the exercise machine and the biometric sensor. The computing device is further configured to provide configuring data to the exercise machine, wherein the configuring data is determined by a medical professional in response to at least one of the obtained fitness information, a medical history of the person, or a medical status of the person.

Abstract: A smart interactive billboard for allowing or other devices implemented with the smart billboard to display electronic/computer-based information and become interactive includes a transceiver adapted to communicate interactively with a server and at least one or more client devices to allow users to be interactive with the implemented billboards or other devices. A CPU including software controls the implemented billboards or other devices. A memory stores information received or uploaded to the implemented billboards or other devices from the server and client devices, and a display unit displays the information on the implemented billboards or other devices.
