Abstract: The present invention consists of methods whereby local/mobile computing devices are registered by collecting a set of hardware and/or software distinctive identifiers to be saved in a validation database residing on a validation database server/Web server, such that the local/mobile computing device can be used as a digital hardware key for right of access and authorization of electronic transactions. This is done by comparing a regenerated set of hardware and/or software distinctive identifiers with those previously registered in the validation database in order to validate the identity of the local/mobile computing device. The invention consists of a first software program executing on a local/mobile computing device that generates the set of hashed and/or encrypted hardware and/or software distinctive identifiers and a second software program resident residing on a validation database server/Web server that manages the validation database.

Abstract: TEmbedding of, or attachment to the rear surface of a mobile electronic device of a reflective panel that allows the user of the mobile device to obtain a general reflection of the image that would be photographed by the rear facing camera on the mobile device without the benefit of seeing the image presentation that is displayed on the opposite side viewing screen of the electronic device

Abstract: Multiple letters, characters, numbers, strokes and symbols to be assigned to a given physical key on a physical keypad residing on a physical keypad integrated into, or attached to, an electronic device used for electronic financial transactions such as an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or Point of Sale (POS) terminal, that is used for data entry on the display screen of an electronic device and the methodology of automatically displaying and inserting the characters assigned to that physical key on the display screen of said electronic device. As the user continues to touch/press said physical key on the electronic devices keypad, the first software module will display and bring into focus the characters assigned to the appropriate time duration of the continued touch/press of said physical key in a visual manner on the display screen of said electronic device and will continue rotating thru the assigned characters as long as the physical key touch/press continues.

Abstract: The present invention allows for multiple letters, characters, numbers, strokes and symbols to be assigned to a given physical key on a physical keypad residing in a hand held remote control device used for DATA entry on the viewing screen of an electronic device and the methodology of automatically displaying and inserting the assigned DATA assigned to that physical key on the viewing screen of the electronic device. As the user continues to touch/press said physical key on the external remote control keypad, a software module will display and bring into focus the DATA assigned to the appropriate time duration of the continued touch/press of said physical key in a visual manner on the viewing screen of the electronic device and will continue rotating thru the assigned DATA as long as the physical key touch/press continues.

Abstract: An electronic device for reading diagnostic test results and collecting subject data for inclusion in a local chain of evidence database and for transferring and receiving data from remote databases

Abstract: Detecting the current state and status of a police officer. The invention can detect when an officer is in a foot pursuit, in an altercation with another person, is in proximity to gunshots, and when an officer is incapacitated. The invention is used to monitor the operational status of a police officer. The invention includes a hand held device which has a three axis accelerometer, three axis gyroscope, microphone, one or more microprocessors, cellular radio, and a camera. Measurements relating to physical movements of the officer are made by interpreting the outputs from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and the microphone. These outputs are constantly analyzed for patterns and when a threat pattern is recognized, the device will communicate the officer's status, state and position to a central authority.

Abstract: The current invention addresses the problem of causing closed captioning to be launched or not launched automatically when a viewer mutes the audio on a digital television. The current invention allows for individualized options associated with a particular viewer. These options can be selected from a plurality of options either manually or automatically as determined by the viewer settings or viewer behavior.

Abstract: A viewer of a digital television trying to freeze the video at a particular frame. Generally the human delay and the delay introduced by the remote control device and the control software executing on the television results in the frame that is displayed by the freeze event is some number of frames or seconds after the frame that the viewer wanted frozen. A small amount of memory that constantly buffers several seconds of digital video such that once the viewer initiates the freeze event the frame that is displayed is effectively some seconds in the past. The viewer then has the ability to single frame step to the frame that he actually was interested in viewing. The viewer's actions are refined by a rules based algorithm that allows it to more closely target and display what it believes will be the final frame the viewer wanted to be displayed.

Abstract: Advertisers specify the size of an ad in pixels or in physical units such as inches or millimeters. The physical square area of an ad specified in pixels will change as the physical size of the television screen or computer display screen varies. The number of pixels of an ad specified in inches or millimeters will also change as the physical size of the television screen or computer display screen varies. The present invention manages the issue of keeping the physical area size of an image constant across television display screens regardless of the physical size of the screen.

Abstract: An application for a three-dimensional television system includes content encoded with left/right frame indicators at a pre-determined location on each frame. For example, during display frames meant for a first eye, the set of pixels contain a first pattern while during display of frames meant for the second eye, the set of pixels contain a second pattern. A detector interfaced to the screen of the television detects the left/right indication and provides synchronization to shutters of three-dimensional eyewear. The detector is positioned over the set of pixels and determines which pattern is displayed, generating a synchronization signal based upon the patterns. The synchronization signal is then transmitted to three-dimensional eyewear where it is used to control the shutters. In some embodiments, a phased-locked loop is provided within the three-dimensional eyewear to continue operation during periods when the transmission of the synchronization signal is blocked or otherwise interrupted.

Abstract: An application for a television has a detector capable of determining the identity and/or presence of at least one viewer in a viewing area of the television. In response to viewers entering and leaving the viewing area of the television, the television adjusts its operation based upon settings for the currently present viewers (e.g., enables channels, content, etc).
