A system and method for automatic code generation includes parsing source code in a source program to automatically generate reliability, accessibility and serviceability (RAS) code in response to the source code. The automatically generated code is executed in a check in stage. All, a portion or none of the automatically generated code is selectively removed during a check out stage to keep the source program clean and focused.

A system and method for unifying hotspot subject to non-linear transformation and interpolation in heterogeneous media representations includes a content creator for creating Rich Media, e. g. stills, animation, panorama and a delivery system including an action handler for responding to a hotspot in the Rich Media when selected by a user interacting with a projected image display. The hotspot is expressed in the media as an area defined in terms of a Euclidean, rectangular coordinate system for transformation and mapping of the media image hotspot coordinates into corresponding coordinates of a hotspot location in the projected image display. Unfortunately, the image coordinates in the media do not necessarily map directly into corresponding coordinates in the projected image. Flat media images can be linearly transformed to projected image coordinates. However, panorama media require non-linear transformation of media coordinated to projected image coordinates.

An interactive TV content creation tool imports video and other assets, including WebPages, Java script, etc., as a series of resources for interactive TV content creation for real time audience estimation and program ratings. A processing system embeds hyperlinks into one or more objects contained in a program frame as desired. Each hotlink has attributes. These attributes include shape, name, description and Z-order. The hotlink can have one of several shapes, including rectangle, ellipse and parallelogram. The hotlink types are included in an object tree which is displayed in a window to a creator. A hotlink type is selected in the hotlink tree, and a window displays a linked properties tab available for the selected object. There are several link types available; linking to a URL, another interactive TV content file, a video clip, an audio clip, an image, or a tracking action and transaction action. There are different parameters for different actions. One parameter is a tracking script. Another parameter is a tracking flag. The tracking flag can be set to follow different tracking modes. If the “enable global tracking” is chosen, a name/value pair “global=true” will be appended to the tracking script transmitted to the global tracking server through network. If the “enable local tracking” is chosen, a name/value pair “local=true” will be appended to the tracking script. The embedded tracking information can follow three multi-level tracking patterns (MTP): regular program viewing tracking, enhanced program viewing tracking, and per object granularity tracking. The viewer returns the script to a server which calculates audience estimation and program ratings for the interactive TV program.

Network presentations to be displayed on the users screen are divided into increasing more detailed phases. In each phase, the code controlling the phase and the data displayed in the phase are segmented. In transmission over the network, the transmission of the code segment of each phase precedes the transmission of the data segment for that phase. Code transferred to the user's terminal monitors the progress of the display of the current phase on the users screen. When sufficient data for the new phase showing then displayed scene enters the users storage, the code for the incoming phase takes over the presentation on the screen substituting data from the incoming phase for the proceeding phase. In this way, transitions are orderly and seamless.

Techniques are provided for managing the creation, storage, search and delivery of rich media optimized for e-commerce in a distributed information network, e. g. , the Internet. In an illustrative embodiment, a content creation phase generates rich media content in a single multimedia file in the format of a HotMedia file for delivery to a Rich Media Build Engine (RMBE). Rich media content is extracted from the file using pluggable and modular extractors providing an input to a commerce-based search engine and a full-text search engine. The outputs of the search engine are combined as a search result from which a searchable database directory is created. The output is stored in a conventional database, e. g. , DB2. A web client is coupled to the search system through a web server providing a search query to the rich media database and receiving an output from the search engine.

A system, method and program product uses tags as markers for incorporating local content in a communications stream, e. g. , TV broadcast, cable transmission. A transmitter generates a communication stream including program content for transmission to a receiver. The transmitter includes an authoring tool for generating two types of tags for incorporation into the program content. The receiver captures the program content and stores the tags in tables. One type of tag initiates local action in the program content in the communication stream. A second type of tag is capable of modifying the first type of tag in the tables. When the time for a local action according to a first type of tag is detected, the program content is interrupted by splicing or inserting the local content.

A network implementing HotMedia architecture provides real time measurement and prediction of bandwidth for adaptive content delivery of rich media according to available user bandwidth. The rich media file created at the creation station is transmitted by the delivery station to the client station in steaming Java applets having a framework including a thumbnail frame and a media frame. In real-time, the client station detects the bandwidth used by the Java applet; predicts the available bandwidth for next media delivery based on the detected bandwidth and fetches the corresponding sensitive bandwidth media fame from a web server according to a linear or non-linear prediction algorithm resulting in bandwidth sensitive rich media content delivery from the delivery station to the client station for display and user interaction.

The present invention is an application-aware method for allocating resources to applications based on a set of predefined policies comprising a Resource Allocation Program (RAP). The RAP is application-aware in that the RAP does not arbitrarily allocate resources to requesting applications. Instead, the RAP allocates resources to requesting applications based on predefined policies. The RAP allows a user to define the resource allocation for each policy in a Resource Allocation Table and associate the applications with the policies in a Policy Application Table. When an application requests resources, the RAP looks to the Policy Allocation Table to determine the policy associated with the application and looks to the Resource Allocation Table to determine the permissible amount of resources to allocate to the application associated with the policy. The RAP then allocates the resources to the requesting application.

Method and apparatus for filtering a sequence of digital values representative of endpoints of vectors which represent the stroke of a writing instrument on a writing tablet. The cross-product and dot-product of the vectors comprising the stroke are computed to produce a sample of points which are close together where the stroke curves sharply, and which are further apart where the stroke is substantially straight.

A known hand drawn stroke is serially sampled at different scales by n angle filters to provide n filtered known strokes at n different scales. An unknown hand drawn stroke is sampled in a like manner to provide n filtered unknown strokes at n different scales. Filtered unknown strokes are compared with filtered known strokes. If there is a comparison within predetermined limits at any scale, the unknown hand drawn stroke is recognized as being the same as the known hand drawn stroke.
