US Classification:

Abstract:

A game is provided with a game board having a central space and an inner ring of spaces surrounding the central space. The game board has a plurality of wavy paths each defined by a series of spaces with these wavy paths extending outwardly from the inner ring of spaces to an outer peripheral region of the game board. The wavy paths defined by the series of spaces contact each other to provide for continuous paths extending from the outer peripheral region of the game board inwardly toward the inner ring of spaces as well as circumferentially around the latter along circumferential wavy paths while the wavy paths define between themselves barrier spaces separating the paths from each other. By way of a chance device it is possible for the different players to move player-identifying game pieces along the various spaces progressing along the wavy paths in various directions. Different spaces may have different identifying indicia with which certain cards are correlated by the same identifying indicia so that according to predetermined rules certain groups of cards may be used, for example, to give players the right to occupy the inner ring of spaces.

Abstract:

A method and processing system for the indexing of data for one or more users involving the steps of receiving primary data, delineating episode data from the primary data, generating media representations to correspond with the episode data, generating a table of contents from the episode data and media representations in real time, and storing and/or presenting the table of contents on a graphical user interface. Primary data may constitute audio data, video data, text data, combinations of these as well as any medium-generated data which may be in or converted to digital form. Episode data is generated on the basis of significant video images determined by scene changes and other information. In addition, episode data may be based on a significant audio change, delineated from the primary data, e. g. based on speaker changes and other information.
