Appl. No.:

09/344921

Inventors:

C. David Young - Plano TX
James A. Stevens - Allen TX
Roy W. Krueger - Bedford TX
Michael S. Becker - Irving TX

Assignee:

Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA

International Classification:

H04J 300

US Classification:

370336, 370329, 370347, 370358

Abstract:

A method and system for managing communication resources between nodes in a network, and more particularly to a dynamic distributed multi-channel time division multiple access (TDMA) slot assignment method is presented. The method and apparatus include a set of higher level heuristics that enable the wireless channel access scheme to address predetermined characteristics of the wireless channel access system. These predetermined heuristics include using bootstrap slots, adaptive broadcast cycles, channelized neighborhoods, standby slots, speculation slots, neighbor segregation, hard circuits, and soft circuits.

US Classification:

705/010000, 705/014000, 709/231000

Abstract:

Systems for incentive enabling and demographic generation in order to allow content owners, distribution entities, advertisers and others to learn more about consumers and to incentivize comsumption of certain media products, infrastructure devices, or consumer products, among others. Preferably, systems according to the present invention include an integrating functionality which receives, stores and processes certain user demographic information with user content activity information, such as, for instance, streaming a particular song by a particular artist for a particular number of milliseconds, in order to award points or other incentives and to map various characteristics of content being consumed against user demographics. Functionality at the client level monitors content being streamed and reports information about that content, together with user demographic information, to the integrating functionality, or when the user is not logged in stores it locally for later reporting. Other functionality at the client level allows the user to navigate the integrating functionality, logon, check incentive account status, update contact information, participate in redemption of rewards, and perform other activities.
