20080215987 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING OPEN-CONTROL REMOTE DEVICE CONTROL - A system and method for implementing open-protocol remote device control are provided. A user accesses a common user interface for controlling one or more networked devices. Utilizing the interface, the user selects one or more actions. The selection is encoded in a standard protocol and transmitted to a premises server. The premises server obtains the selection, accesses a device interface database and translates the selection into a device-specific protocol. The translated instruction is transmitted to the selected device for implementation. The user interface then obtains any device return data for display on the user interface. | 09-04-2008 |
20090006972 | COLLABORATIVE PHONE-BASED FILE EXCHANGE - A collaborative phone-based file exchange technique that wirelessly synchronizes a user's work context with his or her mobile phone and makes this context readily available and sharable in collaborative situations.

20090150790 | NAVIGATION GRAPH WITH STRATEGIC INFORMATION - A navigation graph represents part of a virtual environment in which a computer-controlled agent can move. The navigation graph has nodes and edges. In the case of the navigation graph presented here, the nodes are supplemented with strategic information. An agent can use this information to carry out tactical calculations in order to determine positions for ambushes or marksmen. The strategic information is based on details of the visibility of the node with respect to other nodes and neighborhood relationships with adjacent nodes. The visibility of a node will be calculated with the aid of depth information which is calculated and provided by a graphics card. | 06-11-2009 |
20090327903 | System and Method for Network Topology and Flow Visualization - A topology view of a network is generated on a visual display of a computer system.

Separate network flow records acquired from different devices in the network are correlated together into a common network flow record. Each of the separate network flow records shares a common source address and a common destination address. The common network flow record specifies transmission path segments of a communication through the network. The common network flow is rendered in the visual display over the topology view of the network by displaying an arrow for each transmission path segment traversed by the communication through the network. | 12-31-2009 |
