Abstract:
A method and wireless device (102) dynamically adapt a physical entertainment experience for a user of an entertainment system. At least one communication device (106) associated with an entertainment device (120) is situated in close proximity to the entertainment device (120). At least one user profile (114) is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless device (102) via the at least one communication device (106) to a controller (104) associated with the entertainment device (120). The user profile (114) includes at least a set of preferences associated with at least one sensory effect available at the entertainment device (120). The controller (104) uses the set of preferences to dynamically adapt a behavior of the entertainment device (120) with respect to the at least one sensory effect for at least one user associated with the wireless device (102).

Abstract:
A personal database (102) is maintained by the owner of personal information that is to be shared. When a requestor (103) requests personal information, the request is made to a token generation subsystem (101) that produces a token that allows access to the personal database. The personal database will allow access to information only identified by the token.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus have been described for combining multiple satellite constellations into a cooperative network. A GEO tier of satellites receives information to be broadcasted to earth. The GEO tier receives the information from global hubs, regional hubs, and local hubs. Local program material is combined with regional and global program material by either the regional hub or a GEO satellite.
Abstract:
In a communication system having Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites (210), one or more Mission Operations Control Centers (MOCCs) (220), one or more Distributed Virtual Network Managers (DVNMs) (230), and several types of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) (250, 260, 270, and 280), individual service providers (20) are able to control the network services they provide independently from other service providers (20) through local management of the DVNMs (230).
