Abstract: The present invention is directed to a false activation reducing centrifugal activation system. The system is an activation system that may be used to activate a wide variety of functionalities in a wide variety of devices. The functional elements to the system are a device housing, a power supply module, and one or more activation modules that are activated by a particular motion of the housing, such as when the device housing is able to at least partially spin or rotate about one or more axis' of rotation. The disclosed activation modules include a centrifugally activated electronic system that allows a device's functionality to be turned on or off by moving the device's housing in a particular fashion. In this way, a device equipped with the disclosed centrifugally activated electronic system does not need to have a manual ON/OFF switch or fragile mechanical switch. Instead, the disclosed system allows one or more of a device's functionalities to be activated (or de-activated) when the device's housing moves in the proper manner, while reducing unwanted activations that would be caused by slight and/or unintentional movement. Any sort of promotional product may be equipped with the disclosed false activation reducing centrifugal activation system, including, but not limited to, toys for children, pet toys, novelty devices, and corporate giveaways.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种假活化还原离心激活系统。 该系统是可用于激活各种设备中的各种功能的激活系统。 系统的功能元件是设备外壳，电源模块和通过外壳的特定运动激活的一个或多个激活模块，例如当设备外壳能够至少部分地旋转或旋转时 或更多的旋转轴。 所公开的激活模块包括离心激活的电子系统，其通过以特定方式移动设备的外壳来允许设备的功能被打开或关闭。 以这种方式，配备有所公开的离心激活的电子系统的装置不需要具有手动的ON / OFF开关或脆弱的机械开关。 相反，当设备的壳体以适当的方式移动时，所公开的系统允许设备的功能中的一个或多个功能被激活（或去激活），同时减少由轻微和/或无意的运动引起的不期望的激活。 任何类型的促销产品可以配备所公开的假活化还原离心启动系统，包括但不限于儿童玩具，宠物玩具，新奇装置和企业赠品。

Abstract: Systems and methods for upgrading from one or more digital media assets to a set of digital media assets over a network are described. A potential purchaser can be notified of available upgrade opportunities that are available for purchase. The potential purchaser can elect to pursue an upgrade opportunity so as to purchase a set of digital media assets. Upon upgrading to the set of digital media assets, the digital media assets within the set of digital media assets are made available to the purchaser. Typically, on upgrading from one or more of the digital media assets in the set of digital media assets to the entire set of digital media assets, the purchaser pays a lower cost than would be otherwise charged if the purchaser were to purchase the set of digital media assets in a non-upgrade manner. The cost associated with an upgrade opportunity can be based on prior purchases of digital media assets in the set of digital media assets. The cost associated with an upgrade opportunity can also be dynamically adjusted if other digital media assets in the set of digital media assets are subsequently purchased.

Abstract translation: 描述了通过网络从一个或多个数字媒体资产升级到一组数字媒体资产的系统和方法。 可以通知潜在购买者可以购买的可用升级机会。 潜在购买者可以选择追求升级机会，以购买一套数字媒体资产。 在升级到数字媒体资产集合之后，数字媒体资产集合中的数字媒体资产可以提供给买方。 通常，在从数字媒体资产集中的一个或多个数字媒体资产升级到整套数字媒体资产的同时，如果购买者要购买数字媒体资产的集合，购买者的成本将低于其他收费的成本 媒体资产以非升级方式进行。 与升级机会相关的成本可以基于以前在数字媒体资产集中购买数字媒体资产。 如果随后购买了一组数字媒体资产中的其他数字媒体资产，则还可以动态调整与升级机会相关的成本。

Abstract: Improved graphical user interfaces and techniques for providing remote media content to users are disclosed. According to one aspect, an application window display on a display device can expose a user not only to local media content but also to remote media content that is associated with the local media content. The local media content is stored locally, while the remote media content is stored remotely and available from a remote media server. According to another aspect, the remote media content to be displayed can be determined in a manner that is dependent on a user interaction with the local media content. According to still a further aspect, the manner by which the remote media content is displayed can be dependent on the availability of remote media content at the remote media server.
