Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus regarding media access control (MAC) layer processing for supporting social networking and advertisements via a MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN). SOLUTION: A generator logic generates the service announcements to be advertised. A MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons in the local MAC layer of the local PAN, and further, receives advertisements from other devices via the MAC layer of the local PAN. A monitor logic monitors whether or not there are advertisements corresponding to the selected service category in the MAC layer of the local PAN. Further, the monitor logic is operatively coupled to an application interface so as to display advertised services corresponding to the selected service category. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a remote display protocol (RDP) server, such as a hand-held mobile device, and to control various aspects of the RDP client, such as a large display. SOLUTION: When a user wishes to use a RDP system to project the display 200 from the user's laptop computer onto a large-screen display mounted in a conference room, the user controls the aspects of the remote client such as the location, size, and full-screen treatment.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method to expand the display area available to wireless devices. SOLUTION: The apparatus has a frame buffer 120 having a first area allocated to buffer display information for content to be displayed on a local display. A frame buffer allocator 145 is to dynamically expand the frame buffer to include one or more additional areas allocated to buffer display information for content to be displayed on one or more remote displays associated with one or more wireless devices. A dynamic geometry manager is to configure the one or more additional areas of the frame buffer. One or more remote-frame-buffer protocols are to transfer the display information from the one or more additional areas to the one or more wireless devices. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To extend a display area usable in wireless devices. SOLUTION: An apparatus that includes memory to store application window images of applications running thereon and a composite display generator to generate a composite display based on at least some of the application window images stored in the memory and any application window images received from other wireless devices. The apparatus may also include a remote frame buffer protocol to transmit at least some of the application window images stored in the memory to the other wireless devices. The apparatus may include a frame buffer to store the composite display and a display to display the composite display stored in the frame buffer. The apparatus may include a communication interface to establish wireless communication links with the other wireless devices. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Apparatuses for peer-to-peer network setup are presented. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a wireless processing unit to communicate with a master device. The wireless processing unit is operable to receive encoded data in a two-dimensional (2D) barcode. The encoded data comprise at least user information associated with the master device including a user identifier, a device identifier, or both. The encoded data further comprise network information including a network identifier, a password, and a profile lifetime value. In one embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a display unit to display at least part of the user information and the network information to a user. The wireless processing unit is operable to initiate a peer-to-peer network setup with the master device based at least on a response from the user.
Abstract:
Techniques to stylistically transform source text are disclosed. A source text and information about an output channel may be received. The source text may be stylistically transformed based on the information about the output channel. The stylistically transformed source text may be output. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Methods and systems to summarize a source text as a function of contextual information, including to fit a summary within a context-based allotted time. The context-based allotted time may be apportioned amongst multiple portions of the source text, such as by relevance. The context-based allotted time and/or relevance may be user-specified and/or determined, such as by look-up, rule, computation, inference, and/or machine learning. During summary presentation, one or more portions of the source text may be re-summarized, such as to adjust a level of detail. A presentation rate may be user-controllable. Where new and/or changed contextual information affects an available time to review a remaining portion of the summary, the summary presentation may be automatically adjusted, and/or one or more portions of the source text may be re-summarized based on a revised context-based allotted time.
Abstract:
In some embodiments a controller is adapted to receive textual representation of content experienced by a user, to receive information about an interaction by the user with the content, and to determine a user model in response to the textual representation and the interaction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for media access control (MAC) layer processing to support social networking and advertisements over the MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN). An application interface permits a service category corresponding to the application to be selected, and further permits service announcements corresponding to the application to be advertised. Generator logic may generate the service announcements to be advertised. The MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons in the local MAC layer of the local PAN and also receives advertisements from other devices over the MAC layer of the local PAN. Monitor logic can monitor the MAC layer of the local PAN for advertisements corresponding to the selected service category. The monitor logic is also operatively coupled with the application interface for displaying advertised services corresponding to the selected service category.
Abstract:
Media access control (MAC) layer 122/142 processing to support social networking and advertisements over the MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN) is disclosed. An application interface within application layer 125/145 permits a service category corresponding to the application to be selected, and further permits service announcements corresponding to the application to be advertised. Generator logic 122B/142B may generate the service announcements to be advertised. The MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons 131/132/133 in the local MAC layer of the local PAN and also receives advertisements from other devices over the MAC layer of the local PAN. Monitor logic 122C/142C can monitor the MAC layer of the local PAN for advertisements corresponding to the selected service category. The monitor logic is also operatively coupled with the application interface for displaying advertised services corresponding to the selected service category. Suitable for use in a Wireless Personal Area Network, WPAN.
