Filed:

Dec 1, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/452500

Inventors:

Gail Hegarty Fell - Rye NY

International Classification:

H04H 700

US Classification:

455 306, 455 121, 455427, 725 63

Abstract:

A data file is regarded as a digital package. A conventional interface is provided for scheduling pickup and delivery of the data file via one or more satellite communications links. The data file may represent various types of information, such as text, images, audio or video. A centralized system receives the scheduling order and arranges for the data file to be automatically picked up from one or more locations and delivered to one or more destinations. The delivery service may include buffering the data file for a predetermined time period to comply with the scheduled delivery time. The centralized system provides a scheduling confirmation notice for the scheduled pickup and delivery, and also provides notice that the data file was actually delivered. The centralized system maintains an activity log useful for status inquiry and billing. In short, the centralized system functions as a âdispatcherâ for bits, within an infrastructure for receiving, tracking, delivery and billing based on bits.

International Classification:

G01S 11/14

US Classification:

367117

Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining a location of a device in a space in which speakers are disposed. The methods involve receiving a Combined Audio Signal (“CAS”) by an MCD microphone. The CAS is defined by a Discrete Audio Signal (“DAS”) output from the speakers. DAS may comprise at least one Sound Component (“SC”) having a frequency greater than frequencies within an audible frequency range for humans. The MCD analyzes CAS to detect an Arriving Time (“AT”) of SC of DAS output from a first speaker and an AT of SC of DAS output from a second speaker. The MCD then determines a first Relative Time Difference (“RTD”) between the DASs arriving from the first and second speakers based on the ATs which were previously detected. The first RTD is used to determine the location of the MCD within the space.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for providing geographically targeted information corresponding to physical objects to a plurality of community members includes creating a database of physical object profiles corresponding to a plurality of physical objects, wherein each physical object profile comprises descriptive information corresponding to a physical object and a transitory geographic location associated with the physical object. An indication of a geographic location of a community member is received. Based on this indication, one or more item profiles in the database of physical object profiles within a predetermined geographic proximity to the community member are identified. Then, the identified profiles are transmitted to the community member.
