Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of methods and apparatuses for a wearable augmented reality system for fitness. The embodiments may include producing an avatar in the field of vision of the wearer, wherein a perceived position of the avatar may be controlled to aid the wearer in fitness training by establishing a controllable pace for the wearer. The embodiments may further include an optical system that produces the avatar such that it may be perceived by the wearer of the wearable augmented reality apparatus as a virtual running partner.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of methods and apparatuses for an augmented reality system wherein a wearable augmented reality apparatus may efficiently manage and transfer data and approximate the position of its wearer and the perceived position of a virtual avatar in space. The embodiments may include methods of using data from various external or embedded sensors to estimate and/or determine fields related to the user, apparatus, and/or the avatar. The embodiments may further include methods by which the apparatus can approximate the perceived position of the apparatus and the avatar relative to the user when no predefined path is specified. The embodiments may further include methods by which information about a user's path is compressed and transferred.

Abstract: In general, aspects of the invention relate to the automatic distribution and storage of digital media. Specifically, the invention relates to the automatic distribution and storage of digital media in the home environment. In one embodiment, a system and method are provided for retrieving data objects from sources like digital media input devices and sending those objects to destination digital media input devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for indexing and searching companies for use in a stock trading application are provided. Indexing may assign a scoring system based on the several pre-determined factors as well as the data source from which the data has been received. Additionally, the indexing methodology supports the creation of minimarkets of stocks based on a term-based or user interest-based groupings of companies.

Abstract: A method for providing technical support documents on a peripheral device connected to a web server storing the requested technical support documents via the Internet, which includes the steps of selecting an event on the device, requesting a default uniform resource locator with the selected event, and returning the technical support document relating to the selected event of the requested uniform resource locator to the device.

Abstract: In general, the invention relates to adding custom applications to multi-function peripheral (MFP) devices. In some embodiments, a proxy device is used to provide registration and routing functions to third-party applications operating on host sites. Thus, the proxy device relieves the MFP device of the processing burden associated with application registration and message routing between multiple custom applications and the MFP device. In some embodiments, user interface (UI) templates are used to customize application displays on the MFP device. By using standard templates, such as templates based on XML, the MFP devices may include minimal support for parsing the templates, thereby reducing the burden placed on the device to accommodate the custom applications.

Abstract: A method or apparatus of organizing data in a storage device includes receiving data in the storage device, and transforming the received data into a first data object. The first data object is stored in a hierarchical data structure, the hierarchical data structure containing plural levels of data objects.

Abstract: A storage system includes a storage medium containing blocks identified by block addresses. The storage medium stores hierarchical data structures, each hierarchical data structure containing plural levels of data objects. Each hierarchical data structure is stored in a respective group of blocks. In response to a request containing an identifier of at least one of the hierarchical data structures, a controller generates one or more block addresses based on the identifier. The controller accesses one or more blocks indicated by the one or more block addresses.

Abstract: Object-oriented data storage. A system and method is disclosed for enhanced data storage. A system for object-oriented data storage may comprise an intelligent object editor capable of accessing data content and a destination storage device coupled to the intelligent object editor. The intelligent object editor can link associated information to data content to create a storage object. The storage object can then be stored to the destination storage device.
