Abstract: Various kinds of business and other information are tracked in real time. A coherent information visualization, for example as a time line, automatically, simultaneously presents relevant information to a user across multiple dimensions. Tools are provided that allow the user to establish and manipulate multi-dimensional linkages to develop insights into information gathered from multiple domains.

Abstract: Introduced here are communication optimization platforms configured to improve comprehension, persuasion, or clarity of communications. Initially, a communication optimization platform can acquire input sample(s) that are associated with a source audience. The communication optimization platform can then create a linguistic profile for the source audience by examining the content of the input sample(s). Additionally or alternatively, the communication optimization platform may produce a psychographic profile that specifies various characteristics of the source audience, such as personality, opinions, attitudes, interests, etc. The communication optimization platform can then generate, based on the linguistic profile and/or the psychographic profile, affinity language for communicating with a target audience. By incorporating the affinity language into communications, the communication optimization platform can increase appeal to the target audience.

Abstract: The presently preferred embodiment of the invention provides a digital fitness enhancement system having multiple components, including controlled playback of digital media for fitness training; a data module which acquires real-time training data, such as heart rate, speed, and distance, where the data can be recorded and also used as feedback to control media playback; and a web service (fitpod.com) which provides tools for storage and analysis of personal fitness data, community services for system users, e.g. events, chat, and a bulletin board, and the ability for users to create and share fitness workout and training programs (fitcasts).

Abstract: A system for the application of a trading card metaphor to a disassociated computer program and the unique design of several hardware and software systems supports and enhances collecting, trading, game playing, and creating of digital electronic trading cards by taking the traditional trading card metaphor and uniquely updating and enhancing it for application in consumer digital media. An electronic hardware and software architecture for electronic trading cards (ETCs) has a number of components that function together as a system that support making electronic trading cards, trading electronic trading cards, activities (such as game playing) with electronic trading cards, and collecting electronic trading cards. The ETC format is embodied in the components of the electronic trading card system, which are designed to generate and accept a common proprietary electronic trading card format, so that, for example, a card created in a card-making application can be recognized by an electronic trading card album.
