Abstract:

A method for content production () involves the steps of creating () a sequence of individual frames () from source material of step-frame/frame-advance content (). The step-frame/frame-advance content () is intended to be received (), recorded (), and played back () as a sequence of individual frames () in step-frame/frame-advance mode, so that the content () is viewed () one individual frame () at a time. A content production and delivery system () includes a production device (), a delivery medium (), a recording device () that receives, records, and that plays back the individual frames () in a step-frame/frame-advance mode, and a viewing device (). The method () and system () of the present invention enable a viewer () to record () and watch () step-frame/frame-advance content () one frame () at a time in the same way the viewer () would save, read, and re-read printed materials, including advertisement materials.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed enabling users to post searchable data, such as information about themselves and others as well as details of a personal encounter such as the date, time and place where it occurred, to a user interface in a computer network. Search and match quality tools generate possible encounter matches based on comparisons of the information posted by a first and second user and provide potential matches ranked by quality of the match. Accordingly, the system and methods provide a place where people can post information about previous encounters (or proposed future encounters), lost contacts, and the like and to contact the potential encounter subject. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of allowing a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein and should not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Appl. No.:

10/236711

Inventors:

David Hope - Laguna Beach CA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/001000

Abstract:

A system and method is disclosed for the return of lost personal property. The system consists of identifying personal property with unique identification indicia. Placing the unique identification indicia on a tag with instructions on where to return the property of found, that a reward will be paid for its return and attaching that tag to the item of personal property. The information regarding the personal property, its owner and the unique identification indicia is maintained in a central registry database. Upon the finding of the lost property a finder would contact the database, make arrangements for return of the property and receive the reward upon the successful return of the lost property. The system in a preferred embodiment would operate through an Internet website and be designed to function over a very large geographical area such as the United States.
