Methods, Apparatus, And Program Products For Providing Supplemental Content To A Recorded Experiential Data Stream

US Patent:
7424545, Sep 9, 2008
Filed:
Nov 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/997214
Inventors:
Nicolas Ducheneaut - Palo Alto CA, US
W. Keith Edwards - Atlanta GA, US
Eric S. Nickell - Los Gatos CA, US
James D. Thornton - Redwood City CA, US
Daniel G. Bobrow - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709231, 709203, 709204, 709213, 709217, 709226
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a computer controlled method configured to provide content to be presented with a presentation of an experiential data stream. The method includes receiving a request to provide the content which is configured to be included in the presentation of the experiential data stream, determining one or more content parameters related to the request, and providing the content. The content is structured to be able to be presented in conjunction with at least one prerecorded portion of the experiential data stream, and the content is either presented in addition to the prerecorded portion of the experiential data stream or presented instead of a target portion of the prerecorded portion of the experiential data stream.

Systems And Methods To Facilitate Active Reading

US Patent:
2013019, Jul 25, 2013
Filed:
Mar 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/876463
Inventors:
Craig S. Tashman - Atlanta GA, US
W. Keith Edwards - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH CORPORATION - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G06F 17/21
US Classification:
715205, 715243, 715252, 715230
Abstract:
Review systems and methods facilitate active reading by providing a flexible environment in which users can examine documents. A review system can comprise a virtual workspace, a document view region, a preview region, and optional document objects. The virtual workspace can simulate a desktop or other physical workspace. The document view region can display a portion of an open document at a magnification sufficient for reading. The preview region can display the document at a magnification sufficient to enable the general layout of the entire document to be determined. The document objects can be created from the document through tools of the review system. These document objects can be independently moveable throughout the virtual workspace as needed to facilitate the user's active reading process.
