Abstract: A method and system for provides a user with an ability to capture a sample of an experiential environment and deliver that sample to an interactive service to trigger one or more predetermined events. In exemplary embodiments of the invention such triggered events include the delivery of information and services to the user, the execution of tasks and instructions by the service on the user's behalf, communication events; surveillance events and other control-oriented events that are responsive to the user's wishes. In other exemplary embodiments of the invention, the triggered events include transaction-oriented events, entertainment events, and events associated with enhancements to human ability or function.

Abstract: A system includes a decision feedback equalizer (DFE). The DFE includes a first summing node, a first synchronization latch, a second synchronization latch, a first feedback latch, and a first feedback shift register. The first summing node is coupled to a data input of the DFE. The first synchronization latch receives data from the first summing node. The second synchronization latch and the first feedback latch receive data from the first synchronization latch. The first feedback shift register is coupled to an output of the second synchronization latch or the first feedback latch. The first feedback shift register includes sequentially coupled shift latches. A first of the shift latches data received from the second synchronization latch or the first feedback latch and provides data to the first summing node. First alternate ones of the shift latches are configured to provide feedback data to the first summing node.

Abstract: Systems and methods of synchronizing media are provided. A client device may be used to capture a sample of a media stream being rendered by a media rendering source. The client device sends the sample to a position identification module to determine a time offset indicating a position in the media stream corresponding to the sampling time of the sample, and optionally a timescale ratio indicating a speed at which the media stream is being rendered by the media rendering source based on a reference speed of the media stream. The client device calculates a real-time offset using a present time, a timestamp of the media sample, the time offset, and optionally the timescale ratio. The client device then renders a second media stream at a position corresponding to the real-time offset to be in synchrony to the media stream being rendered by the media rendering source.

Abstract: A method and system is described which allows users to identify (pre-recorded) sounds such as music, radio broadcast, commercials, and other audio signals in almost any environment. The audio signal (or sound) must be a recording represented in a database of recordings. The service can quickly identify the signal from just a few seconds of excerption, while tolerating high noise and distortion. Once the signal is identified to the user, the user may perform transactions interactively in real-time or offline using the identification information.
