20120124475 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTING WITH AN INTERNET SITE - A system and method for enabling a user to interact with a social networking structure for an internet website on a video device connected to a network enabled host device is provided. The present disclosure provides for accessing an internet site in response to a user input, the user input initiated while outputting a program to a display, retrieving content from the internet site based on at least one characteristic associated with the program, and outputting the retrieved content in an overlay or user interface on the display simultaneous with the program. The user interface provides the ability to access multiple profiles for determining whose content or message to display, and also includes a rotating carousel message display system, with a current message surrounded above and below by a previous message and a next message in the display queue in a different size or font. | 05-17-2012 |
20120124625 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING AN INTERNET NETWORKING CLIENT ON A VIDEO DEVICE - A system and method for enabling a user to display and interact with a social networking structure on a video device connected to a network enabled host device is provided. A user interface (UI) | 05-17-2012 |
20130268966 | VISUAL CUE FOR PROGRAMS IN AN ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE - An electronic program guide includes a plurality of elements arrayed in a grid of rows and columns, with the rows corresponding to program sources and the columns corresponding to time intervals. Each element corresponds to a program played out from a particular program source during a corresponding time interval. The background of each element changes, such as by way of a color gradient or changing shape, to indicate one of a program beginning or ending. In this way, a viewer can ascertain the length of the program even if the element gets clipped upon updating the electronic program guide. | 10-10-2013 |
20130322852 | METHOD TO HIDE AND RECOVER DATA IN A VIDEO STREAM - The marking of a video stream to impart a unique identifier commences by first identifying portions within the video stream readily susceptible to change in a visually imperceptible manner. Thereafter, a combination of visually imperceptible changes is applied to the identified portions at random intervals for randomly varying intervals to mark the video stream. Each change in the stream correlates a particular bit sequence so that a combination of different changes yields a string of bit sequences that can particularly identify the stream. | 12-05-2013 |
20130347090 | MORE SECURE IMAGE-BASED "CAPTCHA" TECHNIQUE - A more secure CAPTCHA makes use of a distorted alphanumeric character string or strings that include one or more glyphs, pictures or symbols foreign to a target audience. Adding at least one of a glyph, picture or symbol makes recognition of the distorted string trivial since humans who would know which of the character set to expect, but a very difficult decision for a computer already struggling to decide where a character begins and ends, let alone identifying the character as being valid. | 12-26-2013 |
20140092021 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENTERING TEXT USING A REMOTE CONTROL - The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for entering text using a remote control. More specifically, there is provided a method comprising identifying a plurality of section keys for a keyboard display. Each of the section keys is associated with each of a plurality of sections of the keyboard display. The method also includes determining a plurality of remote key identifiers for a selected section of the keyboard display. The selected section is associated with a selected section key on the remote control. The method further includes determining a selected character of the keyboard display based on a selected second key on the remote control. | 04-03-2014 |
20140143609 | REMOTELY CONTROLLED DATA LOGGING - A method and system to remotely control data logging are described including establishing a first connection, transmitting a signal to initiate data logging, terminating the established first connection, initializing a timer, determining if the timer has expired, establishing a second connection, transmitting a signal to cease data logging, transmitting a signal to collect the logged data and receiving the logged data. | 05-22-2014 |
20150295913 | ENHANCED SERVER/CLIENT LOGIN MODEL - A method for enhanced login is described including determining if a user is attempting to login to a particular account, performing analysis on the user's passwords if the user is not attempting to login to the particular account, determining if it is time to change a password on the particular account, if the user is attempting to login to the particular account, suggesting alternative passwords to the user based on the password analysis and performing a login procedure. | 10-15-2015 |
