Publication number: 20070126704Abstract: A system for displaying textual information includes a receiver (300) for receiving textual information that includes a plurality of words. A text segmenter (302), operatively associated with the receiver (300), segments the plurality of words into a plurality of word segments, each word segment having one or more words. A user interface device (304) receives a signal initiated by an action of a user to indicate a display rate. A display device (306) including a processor and a memory, is coupled to the text segmenter and the user interface device. The display device (306) displays the word segments in a temporal sequence by displaying a first word segment for a first display duration, that is based on the display rate, at a first position on the display device (306) and automatically proceeding to display a second word segment for a second display duration, that is based on the display rate, at a second position on the display device (306).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2007Publication date: June 7, 2007Inventors: William Reber, Bruce Stuckman

Publication number: 20060244831Abstract: A system and method for supplying and receiving custom scenes of events like sporting events where a user can request a particular image, either one that is known to be available, or in some embodiments, an image from a virtual camera located anywhere the user wishes it and pointed in a direction specified by the user with a specified zoom. Parameters of some such virtual scenes can be predetermined for the user (such as the moving view from the kicker's eyes during a field goal kick). Requests can be made for images and images can be transmitted by any possible transmission method or technique including cable, internet, wireless and telephone. Images can be displayed on any type of wired, cabled, or wireless device. In particular, special eyeglasses or heads-up displays can be used. Displayed images can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Clifford Kraft, William Reber, Vasilios Dossas
