20090136215 | DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER SYSTEM WITH AN INTEGRATED DVD RECORDING DEVICE - A digital video recorder (DVR) system with an integrated DVD recording device accepts TV input streams in a multitude of forms. Analog TV streams are converted to an MPEG formatted stream for internal transfer and manipulation, while pre-formatted MPEG streams are extracted from the digital TV signal and presented in a similar format. Indexes within the MPEG stream are determined and saved at predefined intervals and are stored on a hard disk along with the MPEG program material and used to create navigation packets when writing to a DVD inserted in an integrated DVD player/recorder. When a program is requested for display from the hard disk or the integrated DVD player/recorder, the program material are extracted from the appropriate source and reassembled into an MPEG stream which is sent to a decoder. The decoder converts the MPEG stream into TV output signals and delivers the TV output signals to a TV monitor. User control commands are accepted which affect the flow of the MPEG stream allowing the user to view stored programs with special functions: reverse, fast forward, play, pause, index, fast/slow reverse play, and fast/slow play. The user can select program material stored on the hard disk to be written to a DVD and can also select program material stored on a DVD to be transferred to the hard disk. | 05-28-2009 |
20110145848 | DISTRIBUTED CONTRIBUTION OF DISPARATE INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS - Mechanisms are provided for collecting user response information corresponding to a request transmitted as a part of unidirectional media broadcast. Mobile devices used to display media broadcast containing the request, such a survey, are also configured to send information using other communication networks, such as cellular networks. Mobile devices collect users' responses to the request and send information corresponding to these responses to a response processing server. The response processing server in turn processes the information, generate a report, and transmit this report to the broadcasting service. These reports may be used for a variety of purposes. In one example, reports are used to update broadcasted content such that mobile device user can view results of their responses as a part of the updated broadcast. | 06-16-2011 |

As such, the content of the new channel may be at least partially unavailable until user input is received. Furthermore, techniques and apparatuses are provided for transmitting a request for user input to the user device switched to a unidirectional broadcast channel. Information contained in responses generated based on user inputs is then used to adjust media content. | 06-30-2011 |

20130101059 | Pre-modulation physical layer steganography - A method for physical layer steganography communications is provided by combining an encoded cover data stream with a hidden data stream to create stego data stream. The cover and hidden data streams can be combined by determining an insertion rate, and determining, for each bit of the hidden data stream, whether to change an associated bit in the cover data stream. The bit of the cover data stream is changed to match the hidden data stream when the two bits are different. Otherwise, the cover data stream bit stays the same. The stego data stream can then be modulated and transmitted to a receiver. At the receiver, the stego data stream can be split to extract the hidden data stream, and the cover data stream can be decoded. | 04-25-2013 |
