    Abstract: The disclosed system and method for automated proximity determination and notification is useful to enable a customer or client of a business or other enterprise (e.g. a public library, a government facility, etc) to automatically obtain a predetermined service, on arrival at a destination associated with the business or enterprise, without having to communicate orally with representatives of the business/enterprise. A portable programmable wireless communication device is carried by users of such services. The device, termed a PLAD (pervasive location aware device), receives a program and proximity notification parameters associated with each destination to be visited, when service is reserved relative to the destination. Thereafter, as its user travels to the destinations, the PLAD is activated and uses the program information and parameters acquired in the reservation process to perform a proximity notification transmission characteristic of this invention as the device reaches a predetermined range of proximity to a destination. For that purpose, the PLAD calculates its distance to each currently valid destination at which a service is reserved, and sends a proximity notification signal to an address associated with a respective destination when its distance to the respective destination is less than a predetermined threshold radius limit acquired during the reservation process. Receiving equipment at the address uses the proximity notification signal to arrange for prompt execution of a reserved service when the user of the PLAD arrives at the respective destination. The PLAD also can be used in a reverse context -- when its user is at a specific location and the service is being delivered to that location by a vehicle carrying another PLAD operated by or for a business/enterprise -- to alert the user to the imminent arrival of that vehicle.

    Abstract: A hypermedia document display method can include presenting hypermedia content, the hypermedia content hyperlinks to additional hypermedia content; storing selected ones of the hyperlinks in a delayed viewing list; and, caching hypermedia content associated with the stored hyperlinks during the presenting step. The method can further include reconfiguring the stored hyperlinks to the point to the cached hypermedia content. The presenting step can include displaying web content in a Web browser. In that case, the Web content can contain hyperlinks to additional Web content. The presenting step also can include playing back multimedia content in a multimedia content player. Finally, the presenting step can include displaying audiovisual television content combined with hypermedia content in a television set.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for obtaining image information selected from a digital image to supply the selected image information in order to selectively process it. SOLUTION: In one mode, the position of an item identifier is automatically discovered from an image acquired by a digital camera, and image information related to the item identifier is provided for processing it by dividing it into segments. In another embodiment, a user can designate a region of the image which should include an identifier of an interesting item for further displaying or processing. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
