  • Publication number: 20120062596
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for providing augmented reality information is disclosed. The method includes capturing an image of a set of items with an image capturing component coupled to a network-enabled computing device associated with a user identifier. The captured image is processed to identify each item of the set of items while a predefined list of user's preferences is retrieved using the user identifier. For each identified item, checking is made if the item matches a condition related to the predefined list of user's preferences. And based on the matching result, item information is conveyed to the network-enabled computing device and overlaid on the image.

  • Patent number: 7913155
    Abstract: A synchronization system and method. Text data is received by a computing device. The text data is associated with audio/video data. The audio/video data is generated during a related performance. The audio/video data and the text data are discrete data. The text data is synchronized to correspond with the audio/video data during the performance. The synchronized text data is displayed by the computing device during the performance.

  • Patent number: 7864072
    Abstract: A system, program product and method for automatically adjusting the traffic light of a traffic light controlled intersection. Personal data relative to a pedestrian cross walking the intersection, including walking speed, and the current speed of a vehicle approaching the intersection are simultaneously acquired. Both the personal data and the vehicle current speed are processed to generate cross walk control signals, such as indicators of risk of collision between vehicle and pedestrian. Where the risk warrants action, the “stop” condition of the traffic light is enable to warn the vehicle to stop. Traffic control signals are also generated to control the duration of the “walk” condition for slow moving pedestrians.
