Abstract: A system and method for remote device control are disclosed. A system incorporating teachings of the present disclosure may include a radio controlled toy and a controller for controlling the toy. In some embodiments, the controller may have an input mechanism and a housing component that defines a cavity, within which may be located a wireless wide area transceiver and a wireless local area transceiver. Some controllers may also have an operating system for the controller and an application resident on the controller and operable to convert inputs received via the input mechanism into commands for the toy. The controller may have a microprocessor operable to execute the application and to cause the commands to be communicated to the toy using the wireless local area transceiver.

Abstract: 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).

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An image of at least one object (14) is captured. An object class selection is received from a menu (70) of a plurality of object classes. At least one task menu specific to the object class selection is provided. A task selection is received from the at least one task menu. A task associated with the at least one object (14) is facilitated based on the image and the task selection.

Abstract: A self-contained device for substance application and methods relating to the same are disclosed. An application device incorporating teachings of the present disclosure could have a first cavity and a second cavity at least partially defined by a support member. The support member may have attached applicators at its distal ends. A first substance may be located in the first cavity and a second substance may be located in the second cavity. The substances may be the same or different and may include 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and an antiseptic wash.
