Abstract: A system for generating haptic effects having a processor having a memory configured to receive one or more of one or more audio signals and one or more video signals; and one or more haptic transducers. The processor is configured to analyze one or more of an audio stream and a input video stream to detect one or more predetermined events in the stream. For each detected event, the processor generates a first haptic signal of one or more predetermined haptic effects associated with the detected event, and sends the first haptic signal to one or more haptic transducers. The processor may also be configured to generate a second haptic signal based upon an analysis of one or more of the input signals and to send the second haptic signal to the one or more transducer simultaneously with the first haptic signal.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for generating a haptic stimulation interaction among two or more users. Each user is provided with a user apparatus having a haptic communication driving unit (HCDU) that includes a transceiver enabling each HCDU to communicate with other HCDUs in the system, and a computer processing unit (CPU). Each HCDU has one or more associated haptic devices adapted to be applied to one or more body surfaces of the user. The CPU of a first HCDU is configured to determine one or more first haptic signals, and to transmit the determined first haptic signals to one or more second HCDUs in the system. Upon receipt of the first haptic signal at one or more second HCDUs, the CPU of each second HCDU generates a second haptic signal that is sent to one or more of the haptic devices associated with the second HCDU to generate one or more haptic effects.

Abstract: A system and method for displacing or reforming a mass within a body medium. The system includes one or more tactile audio transducers. A processor is configured to generate signals that drive the transducers in to generate audio waves in the medium when the transducers are applied to the medium and cause displacement of the mass or reformation of the mass. The method includes applying one or more tactile audio transducers to the medium; and driving one or more of the tactile audio transducers to generate audio waves in the medium to cause displacement of the mass or reformation of the mass.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and enforcing suspect traffic violations using multiple data streams are provided. The method comprises capturing a video stream of traffic in a field of view of a first traffic monitoring system; identifying a license plate number of a vehicle shown in the captured view stream; obtaining data streams from at least one second traffic monitoring system; identifying a driving pattern of the vehicle based on the captured video stream and the obtained data streams; and analyzing the identified driving pattern and the license plate number of the vehicle to determine a suspect traffic violation committed by the vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for efficient video-based traffic monitoring are provided. The method includes receiving a first video stream potentially capturing road behavior violations; converting the first video stream into a second video stream, the first video stream having a first data rate and the second video stream having a second data rate, wherein the second data rate is lower than the first data rate; transmitting the second video stream to a remote node; receiving a request from the remote node for at least one portion of the first video stream; and transmitting the at least one portion of the first video stream, wherein the at least one portion is transmitted at the first data rate.

Abstract: A method and system for enforcing parking rules are provided. The method includes receiving, from at least one source, a captured visual content showing a suspected vehicle and at least one potential sign of an illegally parked vehicle; identifying the at least one potential sign of an illegally parked vehicle in the captured visual content; determining whether the suspected vehicle is parked illegally respective of the at least one potential sign of an illegally parked vehicle and at least one parking rule; and upon determining that the suspected vehicle is parked illegally, sending a potential citation.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing actions based on received input in a theater environment. In operation, content is displayed to a plurality of users in a theater environment. Additionally, input from one or more of the plurality of users is received in response to the displaying. Further, one or more actions are performed based on the received input.

Abstract: A system and method for providing real-time, subject oriented communication between two or More users Specifically, the present invention enables two or more users sharing an interest in the same subject area to become aware of each other, and therefore to communicate with each other in real time as a result. Such communication is initiated when each user interacts with a client to provide a string of characters to a central server, which then compares these strings of characters according to a comparison process. If the strings of characters are comparable according to this process, then the central server notifies each client thereby enabling the two clients to communicate.
