This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional No. 60/402,358 filed Aug. 8, 2002, which is incorporated by reference herein.
This invention relates in general to playback of an audiovisual production and more specifically to playback of an audiovisual production from a Digital Versatile Disk (DVD) while allowing the creation and display of synchronized text messages.
Playback of audiovisual productions using DVDs and DVD players is growing in popularity. Audiovisual productions include music videos, concerts, movies, games, public or private events and other similar types of recorded performances. As used herein, audiovisual productions also generally encompass audio productions, visual productions or other media presentations recorded on a compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) or other such storage medium or transmitted over satellite or cable systems. Audiovisual productions can be viewed from computer systems, consumer digital devices, and other displays, systems or platforms. Consumer digital devices include video Compact Disk (CD) players or DVD players. Other platforms, such as MPEG players, allow storage or streaming of audiovisual productions over digital networks or the Internet. Unfortunately, playing or viewing previously recorded audiovisual productions are relatively static and do not change. Accordingly, there is diminished motivation for the viewer to return to the production over time. What is needed is a method to enhance the viewing experience and to provide the viewer greater insight into the production each time the production is viewed.
Exchanging text messaging over a digital network is also gaining popularity. Various communication techniques for text messages have been developed. For example, messaging systems based on "bulletin boards" usually provide a common set of functionality to enable open discussions that are available to all viewers in an organized and efficient manner. The organization and efficiency in communication are accomplished with the use of "threads," which are essentially subject hierarchies. Under each subject hierarchy, an initial message on any topic starts a "thread," and all messages in response to this initial message are organized with this "thread." All messages within the same thread are usually organized on a viewer interface with indentations, where the initial message of the thread appears in the leftmost position, and replies to this message are indented. Such indentations provide an easy-to-scan hierarchy of content. Further, text messaging systems based on "bulletin boards" may provide multiple levels of threading whereby responses to an initial message can initiate new, "deeper" threads of their own, thus creating a nested table of replies that can be at once freeform and highly organized.
However, what is needed is a method for viewers of audiovisual productions to discuss the production with other viewers in a manner that encourages communication and that enhances the exchange of opinions and information. Accordingly, there is a great need for coupling features of message threads with the viewing of previously recorded audiovisual productions. However, because many comments are scene specific, the threads need to be linked to specific frames or groups of frames of the audiovisual production. Further, what is needed is a messaging system that provides communications of messages over digital networks that are linked to the performance of an audiovisual production to improve a viewer's enjoyment and inform the viewer upon playback of an audiovisual production.
The present invention relates to a method for enhancing the viewing of static or previously recorded audiovisual productions by linking a messaging system to the viewing process to allow viewers to post messages, and replies to those messages, on threaded "bulletin boards" relating to each audiovisual production with each message linked to the audio and/or video media timeline. During the viewing process, messages appear at certain moments, and exist in a messaging interface region for a specific duration—allowing messages to be linked to specific moments in the audio/video presentation. The messages are threaded so that viewers can reply to messages in an organized fashion—allowing a community of viewers to discuss the media content asynchronously, at leisure, but also with a sense of being "in the moment" as the discussion is tied to their own current experience of audiovisual production. The representation of messages is such that any viewer can easily find the information they want to discuss as the method provides simple components to respond to post and to filter out unwanted information.
The messaging system provides the tools to link a web-based threaded messaging system to media playback time code. In this manner, artists and related creative/editorial personnel, as well as regular viewers, can create messages presented with audiovisual production that are tied to moments in the media available on the discs. The message threads are stored on a server accessible via the Internet, so that any computer connected to the communication network will be able to pull messages into a messaging client interface. Thus, the present invention creates another avenue of channeling new, fresh content to an otherwise static interactive experience.
It will be appreciated that the amount of viewing space is limited and the viewing window is limited by the play rate. Thus, a key challenge is to simplify the messaging functionality so that it fits within the limited screen real estate given a limited user control interface, so that the presentation of the message threads do not significantly interfere with the viewer's viewing experience. Further, due to the limited space and time, filtering of less relevant threads, or portions of the threads, are provided so that viewers can restrict the displayed threads to only those postings and/or authors that they wish to see (again, within a limited control interface). When the viewer does not wish to see to see the messages, the audiovisual production may be displayed without messages. In this manner, the audiovisual production uses the entire screen real estate. When the viewer comes to an interesting portion of the audiovisual production, the viewer activates the messaging system and views messages. When finished viewing the messages, the viewer may switch back to the full screen audiovisual production.
In accordance with the present invention, a method for providing electronic messaging synchronized to an audiovisual production is provided. While streaming an audiovisual production to a display device, a viewer may simultaneously view message threads relating to the production. The method includes receiving a signal defining a message, which may include alphanumeric text, audio or pictures, from a viewer interface, displaying the defined message adjacent to a display of the audiovisual production.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for synchronizing messages input by the viewer with playback of an audiovisual production includes associating a given message thread with a determined point in time of the playback, and displaying the given message at the determined point in time during the playback.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a method for displaying text in connection with playback of an audiovisual production includes providing playback of an audiovisual production on a display platform, and displaying a message thread input by the viewer regardless of the display platform or point in time of the playback.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a system for displaying a message thread in connection with playback of prerecorded media to produce an audiovisual production that includes a receiving system for receiving a signal from a viewer interface to define a message containing alphanumeric text, images or sound during playback of the audiovisual production, and a determination system to associate the message to a point, series of points, or one or more defined portions in the playback. In addition, the system includes a storage system for storing the message thread along with an indication of the associated point in the playback. Moreover, the system includes a displaying system for displaying the message thread adjacent to playback of the audiovisual production, and substantially at the associated point in time of the playback.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a computer-readable medium includes instructions for displaying message threads in connection with an audiovisual production. More specifically, the computer-readable medium includes one or more instructions for receiving a signal from a viewer interface to define alphanumeric text and or additional message content such as audio or images, and one or more instructions for displaying the defined message adjacent to a first display of the audiovisual production. In addition, the computer-readable medium includes one or more instructions for displaying the defined alphanumeric text adjacent to a second display of the audiovisual production.
In yet another embodiment, the playback of a DVD at a master display system is synchronized with the playback of a DVD containing the same audiovisual production but which is resident in one or more slave DVD players. From the master computer, a viewer who initiates a group-viewing session is provided with DVD player commands to control playback at other computers or DVD players participating in the group-viewing session. This embodiment enables multiple viewers to exchange messages while viewing the same audiovisual production at the same time. To initiate a group viewing, a viewer at the master computer initiates a call to other viewers to join in and a list of viewers is created. From that point forward, the master computer controls the playback of the audiovisual production for all viewers.
To initiate a group viewing, a viewer at the master computer or other device initiates a call to other viewers to join in and a list of viewers is created. From that point forward, the master computer controls the playback of the audiovisual production for all viewers.
In the following description of a preferred embodiment, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiment in which the invention may be practiced. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a complete understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In the development of the actual implementation, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the design goals that will vary for each implementation. Accordingly, in order not to obscure the present invention, well-known structures and techniques are not shown or discussed in detail.
According to the present invention, techniques for electronic messaging synchronized to media presentation are provided. In one embodiment, a display device for playback of an audiovisual production receives alphanumeric text or other message content entered or provided by viewers of the audiovisual production. One preferred flexible and fully featured web messaging system is available at http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/ (Scoop) which provides a robust engine for posting, classifying and gardening messages combined with a self-rating system. Another preferred messaging system is commonly referred to as "wiki" and implementation information may be found at http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia on the FAQ page. Essentially, a wiki refers to a web page that can be edited by the public using a simplified syntax. Users become a self-organizing community that gives greater weight to frequent users who tend to garden the page to provide more useful and relevant information. Other methods for generating and storing messages are known such as, by way of example, a chat room system, electronic mail, message board system or an instant mail system. The display device may be a computer system, a consumer digital device, other display, system, or platform, or combination thereof. A consumer digital device may be a video Compact Disk (CD) player, a DVD player, or other.
With reference to
The primary interface to the messaging application is initially unobtrusive; as such, the main interface (as well as the first interface a viewer will perceive when choosing to engage the messaging application) is a screen in which the video dominates the available real estate of the display as shown generally at 50. In this initial viewing mode, the headlines and any messaging control interface appears in a lower area of the screen in a manner that approximates an orientation which all viewers of modern television programs are familiar. More specifically, the headlines and viewing interface appear as a news-style view where the focus is always on the subject of the video and the textual and context information is displayed superimposed along a bottom portion of the screen as generally indicated at 60.
If the viewer does not wish to view the headlines, the messaging display may be deactivated until the viewer determines it desirable to view messages relating to the currently viewed portion of the audiovisual production. Accordingly, the viewer may switch between a full screen video display and full screen display of messages related to the current time code. In operation, when playback of the audiovisual production comes to an interesting portion, the viewer may select to switch to message display using the pause or a message button associated with the viewer interface. With the playback paused, the viewer has a full screen messaging window relating to the portion of the audiovisual production. The displayed messages are linked to a time code most closely proximate to the playback time code. When finished reading the messages, the viewer returns to the playback of the audiovisual production at the time code where paused. During the time the messages are displayed, the viewer may select to display non-contiguous portions of the audiovisual production identified in one or more of the messages and then return to normal playback after reading the messages of interest.
When a DVD, having one or a plurality of audiovisual productions recorded thereon, is inserted into a DVD player, the DVD player identifies the DVD and contacts a remote messaging server to request a top-level index containing a list of audiovisual productions that have messages on the messaging server. Typically, the messaging server is connected via the Internet or other digital communication network.
From the messaging server, the DVD player receives an index for message subjects associated to each audiovisual production on the DVD. Each subject index contains subject headings of messages directed to an audiovisual production, and the start and end time indications of each message subject. The start and end time indications may comprise start and end time codes associated with the audiovisual production or DVD index information, such as chapters. The DVD player may subsequently download the subject index for each audiovisual production, or alternatively the DVD player may utilize a predictive process and attempts to download only the subject index for the audiovisual production most likely to be viewed by the viewer. Alternatively, the DVD player may download the subjective index of an audiovisual production only upon selection by the viewer.
The downloaded subject index may be stored in the local disk cache of the DVD player or in a storage unit coupled to the DVD player. The cache memory may be temporary or preferably permanent. With permanent cache memory, once a subject index is downloaded it remains available for future uses. In future uses, the subject index previously downloaded onto the local disk cache may be compared to the current version of the subject index on the messaging server. The comparison determines whether any update to the subject index needs to be downloaded. Furthermore, when the DVD player downloads a subject index, it may also download body text of all messages related to the subject index. Alternatively, the DVD player may download body text of messages only when the start timecode of the messages has arrived, and consequently store the messages in the local disk cache awaiting viewer action.
Upon viewer selection, the DVD player or other display device plays back an audiovisual production, which may be a movie, a game, or other media presentation. The playback involves access to an audiovisual production stored on the display device, stored on a storage unit locally connected to the display device, or on a storage unit connected to the display device over a digital network. The digital network may be the Internet or other network. By way of example, a movie or a concert recorded on a DVD may be displayed by a DVD player or a computer system together with the messages obtained from the message server. The display screen may be a television screen, a computer screen, or a display area of other display device. The display screen provides, in addition to windows for alphanumeric text and the audiovisual production, a viewer interface to receive the viewer's inputs, so that the viewer may resize the windows for alphanumeric text and audiovisual production. During play back of the audiovisual production, the message is displayed as superimposed over a portion of the display of the audiovisual production. Alternatively, the message or alphanumeric text may be displayed in the lower third part of a display screen without overlapping the display of the audiovisual production.
As the audiovisual production plays back, text "headlines" (akin to the initial message subject headlines in standard threaded messaging systems) or visual icons (not shown) will appear—these headlines will be keyed to the time code of the video media. A viewer action—clicking on the headline or icon, or hitting the space bar on a keyboard or other user interface device—will change the messaging interface into the expanded message interface, which allows viewers to see the "body" of each message, as well as any replies to each message. If the viewer does not choose to view the expanded interface, headline comments will appear and disappear in the lower third of the screen in a manner that is well understood in the art.
An expanded message interface shrinks the display of the video to a smaller portion of the full screen, to allow space for the body text of each comment, as well as to provide a more advanced messaging system user interface controls. An "outline" view of the message headlines allows the viewer to see an overview of the available messages and the number of replies. The outline view follows the media timeline, and has a simple scrolling interface to move through the messaging timeline. The body text area changes under viewer control to allow the user to read the comments in a leisurely fashion and retain primary focus on the video media. In order to fit messages within the limited screen real estate and keep interface controls simple, there should be an arbitrary limit on how "deep" threads can go—it being recommended to limit the thread to a comment and one level of responses.

For another example, the maker of an audiovisual production may create an artist-annotated "tour" of a concert. The "tour" comprises various subjects, each of which corresponds to an event of the audiovisual production. Under each subject, the annotator would provide the viewer with an inside perspective on the corresponding event of the audiovisual production. The viewer may jump from one event to the next event of the audiovisual production by selecting various message subjects, substantially as described above.

When a user inserts an encoded DVD, computer code recognizes the encoded information and automatically contacts a messaging server. The DVD display platform (such as a computer system having a DVD player and a display) requests a top-level index consisting of a list of media files on that DVD that have messages, as well as the location of the subject headline index for each piece of media recorded on the DVD. A predictive process attempts to pull down the headline index for the "most likely" first-viewed piece of media, which contains the subject headings along with the start and end time codes for each piece of media, so that the response time of the messaging application will appear to the viewer as more or less instantaneous. As the viewer selects to view any particular segment of the audiovisual production, a headline/time code index for each production is downloaded and stored to a local disk cache associated with the DVD platform. Preferably, the cache is persistent so that once an index has been downloaded it is available for future use. The cache can subsequently be compared to the message server indexes to determine if any updates have occurred since the last play of the disc. Another predictive process will be employed to "pre-download" upcoming body text, so that the entirety of each message is available precisely at the start time of the event. As the starting time codes of message events continue to pass, the application will download body text, and store it in the local disk cache awaiting user action. As ending time codes pass, the headlines will be removed from the main user view, though message headlines will always be available for perusal through a simple back/forward interface independent of media rewind/fast-forward.
The present invention tracks the playback time code at all times, and follows as closely as possible a viewer's interruption of the normal playback timeline. For example, if a user fast-forwards or rewinds normal playback to a new time code, the headline display window will show the headlines appropriate for that time code. When a viewer clicks the action item of any headline, the body display window will show the full text of that message. The display of the body of any message will stay persistent until user action replaces it with a new message in order to allow the user to read the full text of the message. The message body section has a simple back/forward interface independent of media playback, similar to the headlines, and it further includes the control mechanism to reset the media playback to the start and/or end of the displayed message event. Thus, the viewer may jump to a particular time code after they have had the time to read the text of the message.
At times, the viewer may desire to sort messages and selectively filter out some of these messages. As shown in
At process 720, the display device receives the viewer's display criterion, such as displaying only messages sent by a particular author, displaying only messages with ratings higher than a threshold, or displaying only messages sent by authors whose ratings higher than a threshold. At process 730, the display device sorts messages according to the sorting criterion as described above. At process 740, the display device displays only messages that satisfy the display criterion.
Rating of messages and rating of authors as discussed above gains importance as the present invention grows in popularity. The amount of messages may grow to a point where it would not be possible to properly experience each and every message event in any given subject category. The viewer would need to be able to selectively filter out the messages. For example, the viewer may want to follow messages only by a particular author, e.g., a friend or an artist associated with the audiovisual production, or messages under a particular thread. In addition, the viewer may need to not only rate fellow viewers as to quality of their postings but also filter out messages based on ratings. A threshold system that allows the viewer to select a level below which messages are filtered from the interface is recommended. As the viewer posts messages, other viewers or a system administrator can rate the quality of these messages, and the ratings may provide a cumulative score for each viewer. Viewers of the messages would then be able to select a score below which they do not wish to view, and thereby effectively filter out garbage or irrelevant comments. In addition, the artist and/or a record label may give a viewer additional points to his or her rating, and thus raise the viewer to prominence in the community. The record label may also bless a particular author, e.g., an artist associated with the audiovisual production, so that his or her messages are always available for viewing regardless of the viewer's threshold filter setting.
Determination system 1220 associates a message with a point of timeline in playback of an audiovisual production. For example, a message may associate with the audiovisual production according to the start timecode of the message, the end timecode of the message, or other characteristic of the message.
Storage system 1230 stores the message along with its association with a point of timeline for an audiovisual production. The storage may be performed on a storage device remotely located from the display device of the audiovisual production, on a local disk cache of the display device, on other device, or combination thereof.
Display system 1240 displays a message during playback of the audiovisual production. The display of the message may occur at its associated point of timeline of the audiovisual production or at any time independent of playback of the audiovisual production.
In another embodiment, each message includes an embedded icon. The icon is linked to a specific location in the playback of the audiovisual production. When the icon is selected, playback jumps to specific location of the audiovisual production that the icon refers to and initiates playback of a defined portion of the audiovisual production. For example, beginning and ending points can be specified for the defined portion. More specifically, when a viewer is reading a message, it is possible to select the icon and immediately jump to the corresponding location in the audiovisual production. Playback proceeds by playing a selected portion, or a clip, of the audiovisual production. Often, a viewer will explore an audiovisual production by first reading messages and then pre-viewing portions of the production by clicking on one or more icons in the messages to pre-view specific portions. To illustrate this feature, a viewer may read messages that critique an audiovisual production and then jump to view several defined clips identified by the message before deciding whether to initiate the playback of the entire audiovisual production.
The message icon represents a specific location on a specific DVD that can be specified by the author of the message. In one preferred embodiment, a software tool executing on a computer associated with the messaging device enables the creation of a message icon and establishing the link to a specific portion of the audiovisual production. The messaging device may be a computer system, cell phone, PDA or other computer-based viewer interface system.
According to yet another embodiment of the present invention,
Messaging server 1310 preferably includes a standard database-driven threaded messaging system, enhanced with an identification of the DVD audiovisual production (DVD ID) and the start/end time codes for each message. The use of a standard servers and database affords great flexibility in delivering future functionality, and allows traditional, browser-based interaction with the database of messages. In this manner, message threads are readily integrated with streaming media versions of the audiovisual production that allows a DVD-like experience of the time-based messaging system on the Internet. The messaging database is preferably separate from any pre-existing user database, in order to foster modularity in implementation. By using existing open-source messaging server code, a consistent application program interface (API) is provided together with a framework for future feature enhancements while preserving backwards compatibility. Open source software also allows for easy customization, so integration of additional time code/DVD ID tags that are necessary to allow the messaging system to interact with third party media content.
In addition to the DVD ID and start/end time code tags (or other indicators) that need to be present for each thread, the present invention contemplates the use of a user "karma points" system in which each contributing viewer is assigned a rating. The rating functionality only needs to be employed where the messaging system is open to end-users. If the DVDs that employ the messaging system are limited to officially created artist "tours" there is no need to make use of the rating system functionality. In one preferred embodiment, a user's rating is determined by the community of viewers where every message allows viewers to rate the quality of its content, and every message author will accumulate a good or bad rating based on the judgment of the community.
Messaging server 1310 may employ various types of messaging systems such as instant messaging system, chat room systems, email systems, message board systems, standard database-driven threaded messaging system enhanced with DVD ID and start and end time codes for each message, or other messaging system. The standard messaging system provides the viewer with browser-based interaction with the message database and facilitates integration of the message database with streaming media versions of audiovisual productions. This integration provides the viewer with playback of an audiovisual production that is downloaded over the Internet and display of messages associated with the audiovisual production. In addition, the standard messaging system also provides flexibility in delivering additional functionality.
Viewer interface 1320 may provide various display windows configurations upon viewer's selection. The display windows include those for audiovisual production, for body text of downloaded messages, for body text input by the viewer, for various message subjects, for message filter, for viewer login, and other information and control display.
After a viewer logs in viewer interface 1320, viewer interface 1320 first presents default display windows. The default display windows comprise one for audiovisual production and one for message subjects associated with the audiovisual production. When the audiovisual production plays back, the message subjects associated with the audiovisual production are also be displayed. The message subject at the bottom of the list usually substantially corresponds to the point of timeline that the viewer is viewing. Further, viewer interface 1320 provides means for the viewer to scroll up and down the subject listing. Clicking on any message subject brings body text of messages under this subject into the expanded message window. At substantially the same time, playback of the audiovisual production jumps to the point of timeline corresponding to the selected subject.
On viewer interface 1320, the display window for the audiovisual production may take up most or other percentage of the available screen real estate. Icons for controlling playback of audiovisual production may be displayed in the display window. Alternatively, the stream of messages and control icons may appear in the lower third part of the screen real estate. The control icons allow the viewer to view body text of messages and to enter viewer's comments in expanded message window for alphanumeric text. The expanded message window may provide only two or three lines of body text of each of the messages in a large and readable font. A slow "auto scroll" effect may be employed should any body text extend beyond the viewable range of the expanded window in order to minimize the need for viewer interaction when the viewer is viewing the audiovisual production. The window for displaying body text and the window for entering the viewer's own comments may be similar. For both types of windows, authors and headlines of messages may be presented along with body text of the messages with a slow "auto-scroll" effect. When the display window for entering viewer's own comments is selected, the viewer interface may also provide controls for the viewer to associate the composed message to a specific point of timeline for the audiovisual production. In addition, on viewer interface 1320, controls for replying to displayed messages, for rating the messages, and for drafting a message under a new subject may also be displayed.
In addition, a timeline indicator, a timeline clock, or both may appear below the display window on viewer interface 1320 for audiovisual production. The timeline indicator 140 and the timeline clock 130 (see
An administrative interface is also provided to raise or lower a given user's rating if the artist and/or label so desires. Administrative interface 1330 may provide several sub-interfaces that perform various administrative functions. These sub-interfaces comprise subject category selection interface, administrative filtering interface, administrative login interface, and administrative rating interface. Subject category selection interface provides a simple method for selecting subjects of messages the viewer desires to follow. Administrative filtering interface provides a simple method for selecting a rating "threshold." Any messages with a rating below this threshold would not be displayed. In addition, administrative filter interface may also provide a simple method for selecting any particular author whose messages the viewer desires to follow. Administrative login interface displays viewer name and password entry fields. When a viewer logs in to the system for the first time, the viewer may select a "screen name" or an alias, by which the viewer is known to other viewers in the system.
The rating system will discourage "graffiti"-like postings where the poster has nothing appropriate to say, and encourage posts that are thoughtful and relevant to the topic. The user rating may also be employed to control access to posting messages—i.e. a user who is rated poorly may be blocked from posting further messages, or their access to post messages in certain forums might be curtailed. In addition, the user level can be employed to filter out display in the main video window of the interface when the number of messages in the system increases and there will be too many to display and perceive properly. An algorithm operating on the messaging server gives priority to comments from users that have higher ratings—again encouraging quality posts. Administrative rating interface allows raising or lowering a viewer's rating. The viewer's rating may be employed to control access to posting messages. For example, a viewer with a poor rating may be blocked from posting messages, or their access to posting messages in certain forums may be curtailed.
In addition, the start timecode and end timecode for some messages may be only a few seconds apart. Therefore, the viewer may not fully understand body text of these messages before they are replaced by subsequent messages. Consequently, according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the system would set a minimum time that each message must appear on screen. If the system determines that within the minimum time, the messages being displayed would overlap with subsequent messages, the messages possessing certain characteristic, such as being composed by authors with high ratings, are displayed.
Moreover, when a message subject draws strong interest from viewers of the system, this message subject creates a "hotspot" in the timeline of the audiovisual production. At a hotspot, a large number of messages aggregate within a short period of the timeline. Consequently, displaying all of these messages in the limited screen real estate may be difficult. Hence, the number of displayed messages would preferably be limited. For example, only messages composed by highest rated authors are displayed, even if an individual viewer's rating threshold is set lower. In contrast, when messages at a point of timeline are sparse, messages by composers with low ratings may appear, so long as the composers' ratings exceeds the viewer's rating threshold.
Communication between the messaging server 1310 the Administrative Interface 1330 and the Viewer Interface 1320 take place preferably within an encrypted channel that may also be used to send tour calendar, viewer demographic, and usage profile information. An intermittent connection between the message server and database and the DVD platform is attempted every time a DVD is launched. The connection stays persistent only as long as is required to register and upload user/demographic data. However, a more persistent connection to the database is required so that the messages entered by users can be updated in a fashion approaching real-time chat. Also, as the message boards grow larger, the amount of data transfer required to download an entire message board may become impracticable over typical modem connections. However, a real-time, persistent connection presents challenges in application design, as well as scalability so the preferred method is that a hybrid of one-time download and persistent connections will be employed. Message board subject indexes and headline titles are downloaded at launch when a user logs into the system—and then the full text of messages can be downloaded as necessary.
A program code may be implemented to instruct a computer system, a consumer digital device, a central processor-based device, a custom circuitry or other device to perform various processes of present invention as discussed in
Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in
The player having the designation as 'master' and the control of all slave players may be transferred from the current master to any one of the slave players by passing a token 1414 from the master to the slave. If more than one slave has an outstanding request for token 1414, the token may be passed in a round robin fashion. During other audiovisual presentations, two or more DVD players may exchange the token in a 'ping-pong' fashion. This type of token transfer may be particularly useful in a panel discussion where different portions of the audiovisual presentation is germane to different panelists. Regardless of the manner used to pass the token, whoever has the token may decide to retain the token for the entire duration of the audiovisual performance in which case the other DVD players remain in slave mode.
As illustrated in
The system illustrated in
At the start of the presentation, the master DVD player 1402 checks for the presence of the audiovisual presentation at each slave DVD player and initiates the playback of the master DVD and each of the slave DVD players. During the playback, each viewer may submit electronic messages to the moderator or moderators. If the message requires the moderator to change the normal sequence of the playback, the appropriate controls are entered at the master DVD player and transmitted via the communication network 1404 to each of the slave DVD. To illustrate, if a viewer at DVD player 1408 asks for clarification of a point in the audiovisual presentation, that message may be sent to the moderator at master system 1412 and each of the other viewers on their displays. If the moderator decides that it is desirable to pause the audiovisual presentation, a pause command is sent to the master DVD as well as each of the slave DVD players. Similarly, so long as the moderator retains the token designating his or her system as the master system, the moderator retains control over each slave DVD. Thus, the moderator can initiate play, pause, jump to a specific time code of the audiovisual presentation in a non-sequential manner at each slave computer.
During playback of the audiovisual production, server 1420 associates messages stored in its local memory with a corresponding time code. These messages may be communicated to the master and each slave display upon detection of the corresponding time code during playback of the audiovisual production.
Since server 1420 manages the participation of each slave DVD, a viewer may disconnect from the presentation at any time and the master DVD will no longer control his or her DVD. This embodiment enables on-line collaboration relating to an audiovisual production between two or many viewers. Advantageously, many viewers can chat live about the content of an audiovisual production because viewers are watching it together.
If there are two or more moderators, server 1420 may receive requests from the moderators for the token. The token may be passed by updating the viewer list maintained by server 1420 such that only the new master DVD may control the slave DVDs. This approach is especially useful where people are collaborating online about video edits to an audiovisual production when working from a rough edit on DVD or where DVDs are distributed to many viewers and the DVD is the passkey that authorizes the viewer to participate in the presentation.
With device 1406, a viewer may record a television show, sporting event or movie when aired on cable or television channels. At a subsequent point in time when it is convenient for the viewer to view the recorded show, event or movie, a communication link is established with message server 1420 and message links are downloaded and attached to the recorded show, event or movie for viewing. Further, instead of using a DVD or computer disk for media storage, the audiovisual production may be transferred to a display device from a remote source, such as a media server computer, by way of a cable or satellite communication system.
Although the invention has been described primarily with respect to playback of productions from a DVD, any storage media or playback technology, such as Video-On-Demand cable or satellite systems can be used as the source of the audiovisual production. Further, the DVD playback device and the messaging device can be separate devices. For example, a cell phone or personal digital assistant (commonly referred to as a PDA) can be used as a messaging and control device while the audiovisual production is playing on a remote DVD player connected to the Internet.
Also, although a client-server architecture has been described, other network arrangements such as peer-to-peer can be used. In general, any type of network and arrangement of processors, e.g., computers, consumer electronic devices, central processor-based devices, and custom circuitry, can be used for transmission of data, playback, execution of a viewer interface and to perform any of the functions and features described herein. Processing can be performed at any physical location and can be done by a single processing unit, or in a co-processing or parallel arrangement with multiple processors. Further, although time codes for messages have been described, any other types of time indications that associate the messages to points in time of an audiovisual production may be used.
While certain exemplary preferred embodiments have been described and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention. Further, it is to be understood that this invention shall not be limited to the specific construction and arrangements shown and described since various modifications or changes may occur to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. Thus, the scope of the invention is to be determined solely by the appended claims.

A record 50 people attended Alan Colker's 30th educational seminar in Richmond, VA, on Oct. 17. In honor of it being his 30th event, the seminar's theme was "30 Important Questions Every Professional Lighting Showroom Consultant should be Able to Answer," based on actual questions submitted to the American Lighting Assn. [1] (ALA).
Colker, who along with his son, Mitch, make up Alco Lighting Sales, has been hosting these ALA-accredited seminars featuring ALA Director of Education Joe Rey-Barreau since 1996.
"Offering these seminars is just something we can do to give back," Colker says. "Nowadays, the industry is changing so fast and so much more knowledge is needed to be a successful showroom consultant. Showroom managers need to realize that in order to be successful in the long-term, they need to have an educated staff."
For the first time this year, the seminar was co-hosted by several lighting manufacturers, bringing the registration cost down to just $30. Sponsors included: ALA, Allegri [2], Arroyo Craftsman [3], H.A. Framburg & Co. [4], House of Troy [5], Kalco Lighting [6], Millwork Lighting [7], Northeast Lantern [8], NUVO Lighting [9] and Satco Products [10].
"Mitch and I are extremely grateful to the vendors who helped us co-host this event, making this the most successful seminar we've ever had," Colker says.
Cori Middlebrooks, a Virginia sales rep, says she appreciated the practical nature of the seminar.
"It covered real-life questions that customers may be asking us, and it gave us information to give customers to help us sell products and also build customer trust," Middlebrooks says.
Renee Baker, Showroom Manager of Timberlake Lighting [11] in Charlottesville, VA, says she also found the seminar's format very helpful.
"I like the way the whole seminar was formatted, with 30 questions from actual consumers, because these were very practical questions that consumers might walk into my showroom and ask," Baker says. "I actually just used something I learned from the seminar today when helping a customer with transformer issues and how not reaching the minimum load can cause problems for dimmers."
Four-time attendee Emilie Maynard, Showroom Manager at West Virginia Electric Supply Co. [12] in Huntington, WV, says she keeps coming back every year because of Rey-Barreau's expertise.
"I like how [Rey-Barreau] always has a new perspective on what's going on in lighting, and he's always up to date on new code, regulations and products," Maynard says. "He also explains how to best relay the information to the customer and calm them down instead of having them panic on us and selling them products they don't need right now just because they're scared."
Mike Hadank, Director of Retail Sales, North America for Swarovski [13] and Schonbek [14], says he enjoyed his first time attending one of Colker's seminars, especially the discussion about future applications for LEDs.
"[Rey-Barreau] was able to teach the class so that it hit the level where someone well-versed like me could stay interested, but people who didn't know that much about LEDs could also get a lot out of it as well," Hadank says.

I wrote this piano number just about a year ago. It is from my collection of such pieces generally titled "By The Numbers." There are currently 142 of them. It's quite simple in structure: an expo in C, a bit of a diversion in Cm, and then a recap again in C. (I never write anything in C, so this is a bit different for me.) I hope you will enjoy a listen.

The record-low levels of Folsom Lake are bringing tourists to the area in droves, but instead of spending dollars, some local businesses say they've only been a nuisance.
"It's wild," said owner of the Green Valley Center Amy Anders. "There's a steady stream of people every weekend, I'd even say even an international crowd, to see the lake's ruins. The free parking fills up all the way up Sophia Parkway so people are parking at the GVC parking lot. They're going on these two, three, four-hour excursions and it's consuming all the parking we have here for our patrons."
Anders played parking attendant for two weekends in a row and politely asked visitors not to leave their vehicles if they weren't customers of the GVC. "There are two groups of people," she said. "Those that say, 'We didn't think about that; we completely understand.' The others are militant and feel they have the right to do whatever they want, whenever they want."
How can she spot the tourists? "If groups show up and are wearing hiking attire and they have a dog, we know they aren't going to Barber Jon's or getting their nails done," she joked.
This week GVC tenants chipped in to hire a parking attendant on weekends. "If we offered free parking to everyone, the businesses here wouldn't be able to survive so we've had to put out some enforcement," said Anders. "I get regular calls from the nail salon, dog groomer and Barber Jon that their customers can't find parking. Those businesses see the most impact because they work on a reservation system."
Anders said they may have to resort to towing, explaining, "There's a high probability this will continue until a) the novelty wears off or b) we get some water back in the lake."

Everyone's favorite Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa has been dumped for everyone's favorite romance novel hunk, Fabio. This video gives us our first look at his first ad for the time-honored men's deodorant.
When I heard the news, my first question was "Why?" Isaiah was a dreamboat, and while he didn't make me rush out to buy Old Spice he certainly set my pulse racing.
On watching this ad, my first question was "Why?" It was followed by "What was that?" Frankly I have no idea what's going on here. It seems more like an ad for shampoo, shot in a different dimension, than anything for Old Spice.
What do you make of this, dear readers?

Guwahati, Oct 9 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for maintaining a stony silence on the Dadri lynching for too long when it threatened to snowball into a volatile situation.
He also appreciated President Pranab Mukherjee's "timely intervention", which he said has helped contain the situation.
In a statement here, Gogoi said that Prime Minister Modi who is vociferous and speaks out his mind on every issue under the sun astonishingly maintained silence on the Dadri incident that threatened to create a rift in society on communal lines.
"The president of India who rarely intervenes had to step in to douse the flames that threatened to suck the country into the vortex of communal cauldron. Thanks to the president's timely intervention and soothing balm that helped to contain the situation at a time when the prime minister looked the other way round with the situation threatening to drift to a point of no return.
"It is rare to see the president giving clear cut message to the government with the prime minister looking the other way round. That gave a wrong impression that the Modi-led government at the centre was insensitive and unmindful of the situation with nefarious forces at work to spread communal disharmony, hatred, malice and ill-will among communities," he said.
Muslim man, Mohammed Akhlaq, was beaten to death by a mob on the night of September 28 in Bisara village in Dadri near the national capital over rumours that he ate beef.

A Reuter's reporter spotted the irrepressible Steve Jobs, coming out of Apple headquarters in Cupertino Monday, recognizable in his familiar attire – black turtle neck and jeans. Could this mean his medical leave has ended, and he will again be sitting in the Executive seat?
If so, he is a walking miracle, surviving pancreatic cancer, and rumored by the Wall Street Journal to have received a liver transplant just two months ago. Average recovery from such an operation is three months.
Apple has been closed mouth regarding details of Jobs' health during his medical leave. They continue to be quiet regarding this sighting, although they have contended that he has been deeply involved in making decisions within the company during his leave. Blogs have said that he has even visited the company off and on since he left in January due to unspecified medical concerns. Apple will only say that "we look forward to Steve returning at the end of June".
Adding fuel to the fire of speculation is the fact that Jobs was just cited in a company press release. "This is the first time we've heard from Steve Jobs since he reported he was taking medical leave," said Oppenheimer & Co analyst Yair Reiner. "It's a sign Apple has its CEO back." Well, maybe. The doctors may release him for part time only. However, that shouldn't hinder his creative bent.
Analysts, some may call them pundits, think COO, Tim Cook, may continue to handle the day-to-day management, while Jobs takes on the "big picture" issues, and concentrates on the product line.
Investors fears have subsided somewhat as they watch with approval Cook's performance, and see how strong sales have been, and how well product launches have gone. Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek contends that "iPhone 3GS sales were good." And Apple reports that six million customers downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software in the first five days after it was released.

Academics /
As teachers of English, the members of this department serve a unique role in educating the whole individual, enabling him to grow internally by means of a curriculum which clearly addresses the need to understand human nature. English is a prime means by which we can engender in the student insight into the intellectual, psychological, social and moral imperatives which have directed the human race since the beginning of its history. We believe—by providing models of human endeavor and integrity and by encouraging the student to evaluate these models—he will better be able to adapt to his world and make a viable contribution to it.
Therefore, we, the members of the English Department, endeavor to put at the student's command, the tools of critical thinking and coherent expression so that he can determine who he is, why he is, and what he intends to do for himself and others. We seek to establish in the student the four embracing social attitudes promulgated by a Jesuit secondary education: love, justice, responsibility and stewardship. To develop these attitudes, we believe we must take every opportunity to overcome the passivity of the mind, confusion of thinking and superficiality of speech which is indicative of youth. So we teach the student to think precisely, to express himself exactly and to appreciate his world with sincerity and verve.

Months have passed since Bella and Edward sparkled forth into the sunset (with their precious half-immortal daughter, Renesemee, cradled beside them, of course). But despite the Cullens' happily ever after ending, whispers that Stephenie Meyer's popular franchise is far from over have begun circulating throughout the Twilight community.
So are the rumors true? Will there another book or, at least, a follow-up to 2012's Breaking Dawn Part 2?
Well, judging by the final movie's immense box office success, it makes monetary sense for Summit Entertainment to move forward with new material. Back in November 2012, Entertainment Weekly reported that the supernatural blockbuster's worldwide gross stood at over $700 million, and that it had monopolized the foreign theatrical circuit for consecutive weekends. Those astronomical figures have only increased since then to a whopping $827,961,000. (Not too shabby for a couple of small-town bloodsuckers, eh?) There's money to be made and lots of it and, in Hollywood, more green is impetus enough.
Moreover, the last installment, which introduced new characters with exciting individual powers and an adrenaline-filled Volturi battle scene, indicated just how steeped in history Twilight actually is, and that its mythology is rich and teeming. There are so many stories—from the perspectives of other vampires, werewolves, and even humans—begging to be explored further. (Think along the lines of the Twilight spin-off novella, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner and Midnight Sun, the online release told from Edward's point-of-view.) Add in legions of Twihards who'd love to see Edward and Bella settle into family life at their woodland nook (a cottage straight out of a Thomas Kinkade painting), Renesmee blossom into a poised young woman, Jacob Black bare his sexy wolf teeth (and abs) once again, and what the other gorgeous Cullen pairs are up to now that they no longer have to tend to a lovestruck teenage girl—it seems as though the odds are ever in favor of a series continuation.
Nevertheless, don't allow me to fill your hearts with hope only to stake it right out of you later on. My speculations are just that: mere fangirl theories. On the other hand, when the creator of the Twilight world makes a sanguine remark about the series not ending, that carries way more clout. Here's what Stephenie Meyer revealed to Crave Online during an interview at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival:
Crave Online: They call me Franchise Fred because I love my franchises. I never want them to end, even when there's a final chapter. I want them to always go on and I trust the authors to create more good stories. Why wouldn't you want to continue them?
Stephenie Meyer: I mean, obviously there are more stories there. When I first wrote the end of Breaking Dawn, I was planning on going on for quite a while further and so I didn't wrap it up. I didn't kill everybody. I could have. [Laughs] Thought about it later. So there are other stories there, but like I said I am vampired out. So maybe in a couple years, spend some time with some aliens, maybe do my mermaid book finally, and then maybe I'll be able to get back to it but right now I'm just sick of them.
(Check out the full Crave Online Q&A here.)
Honestly, it doesn't sound like Stephenie Meyer is in any hurry to add to her best-selling series. She has a lot on her plate as it is with producing and developing other properties such as Austenland. Still, she did not dismiss the idea of continuing the saga, and seemed rather open to revisiting it. So that's a promising sign, right? 'For sure!' eager Twihards everywhere scream in unison.
That being said, what's your stance on the future of the Twilight franchise: Are you ready to sink your teeth into fresh content or was Breaking Dawn Part 2 the perfect conclusion? Drop us a comment below!
UPDATED 10/1/14 — There will be more Twilight movies after all! But they will premiere on Facebook, and unfortunately it doesn't sound like they'll be about Edward and Bella. Find out more here.

Some eight thousand people joined this past Sunday in an "act of reparation" called for by Archbishop Fernando Sebastian Aguilar of Pamplona for the "blasphemous poster" displayed by the Mulhiko Alaiak club during the traditional San Fermin Festival.
The ceremony began at 11:30am amidst applause and prayers followed by total silence during the procession of the Crucified Christ.
Archbishop Sebastian, accompanied by a large number of priests, walked barefoot in the procession as an act of penance, and afterwards presided at Mass. During his homily he recalled that one of the clubs participating in the festival "walked through the streets of Pamplona with an irreverent caricature of Jesus Christ," which has been "connected to a political movement that is very distant from the teachings of the Gospel and of the Church."
"The San Fermin Festival this year has been somewhat different for Christians," since "we have not been able to spontaneously share the joy" because "we have had to bear the sorrow of a painful reminder like a thorn in the side," Archbishop Sebastian said. He called it an "error" and a "sin of pride" to try to reach the highest goals of humanity by scorning and ignoring Jesus Christ."
Referring to those responsible, the archbishop said, "Although we could we would never try to impose anything on them by force. We don't seek power, nor do we pretend to attain privileges of any kind. We simply ask for respect and esteem in order to live together without attacks or aggressions of one against another."

Edna Davies is heading for the Providence Art Club when she spots a valuable heirloom brooch in the newly-tilled soil of a friend's yard. Her discovery helps to solve a 50-year-old mystery but it also precipitates a murder. As she tries to make sense of the killing, Edna realizes more than one person is hiding behind a false identity. Matching wits with extortionists, arsonists and frauds, she must determine who is friend and who is foe before another person dies.

Personal rapid transit ready to roll at terminal 5
Post a comment
LONDON Unmanned electric personal rapid transit (PRT) vehicles are to be introduced towards the end of this year at to Heathrow Airport to ease the transfer of passengers between two remote stations at the terminal 5 (T5) business car parking and the T5 building.
Running smoothly on rubber tyres over steel and concrete elevated guideways approx 2 metres wide, the 4-6 seater battery powered Urban Light Transport (ULTra) 'pods' are suitable for transporting families and other groups.
The ULTra PRT system has been developed by Advanced Transport Systems Limited (ATS) who began the project in 1995 in association with the University of Bristol.
The Heathrow pilot system is planned for introduction towards the end of 2009. Its minimal environmental impact is also way ahead of its time, providing the required Kyoto Agreement's 60 percent reduction in carbon emissions over conventional automotive engines decades ahead of the 2050 target date.
As a global company specialising in the design and manufacture of embedded single board computers, Eurotech (Cambridge, England) has been closely involved in this project with Arrowvale Electronics through the supply of the PROTEUS embedded computer for the communications system.
The system, designed by Arrowvale Electronics, one of the U.K.'s leading suppliers of rail safety equipment, provides:
- Wireless communication for 2-way data and exchange of instructions from vehicle to control centre;
- Microphone for passenger communication;
- CCTV and video screen data passed to Communications Controller.
The communications system is a vital part of the PRT operation, delivering routing and scheduling instructions to the vehicles from a central control centre, and communicating their progress and status back to control.

This is my blog, but it is your site!
Over the years I met with women in mid-life, which are coming for personal coaching, to correct patterns of their world and / or to change something in the mosaic of life. In this anxiety turns it in a very visible and hidden anxiety in this critical under excessive pedantry, holding control and other such patterns and others threatened to "mink" her (in her words).
Sometimes we hold the story we tell ourselves and take care network it, paint it and build around him decor. This story takes up enormous dimensions, reflects on life, our choices in life, the person who is with us there alive, to us and around us.
What Happens often is that when something "breaks", when trigger internal work, introspection and ask questions, including In fact, the question mark is inside … so basically a process of "crushing" personal story. Cracked wall laboriously constructed around the heart, and gravity on it. Physiology, tissue surrounding the heart call pericardium. Chinese medicine, for example, recognize cases of gastrointestinal disorders, for example, against the background of mind and heart then the treatment will be done through Maridian pericardium, which help us get rid of hemorrhoids and calm the mind after that.
This wall, That will built in order not to fulfill our dreams …. and very justified only when coming out of the situation, as can be in and out of the situation at the same time, you can see what's really going on? cold? why….?
And find forgiveness, to empathize with the mother.
This is the moment to bring emotion into action, to repair. How much it excites me and broadens my heart, when I see the changes
In relation to the mother and then the inner feeling, inner confidence, boldly reflected power to do things, who had been afraid even to think about, posture, and all eyes sparkle everyday conduct.
This blog yesterday signed a personal note, my mother and in the meantime I received an email this morning sharing exciting me change and the feelings that came to the same tokens to echo and I have brought him here with slight variations and pseudonyms:

Newport News: Grand Opening in Virginia
April 23, 2012
Saint Leo University hosted a grand opening at the new teaching and advising location in Newport News, VA, to make residents of peninsular Virginia aware of the degree programs available to both the civilian and military populations.
"The event was a huge success," said Duane O. Stephens, assistant director of the Newport News Office. In addition to University President Arthur F. Kirk, Jr., and Vice President of Continuing Education Dr. Edward Dadez, the opening was attended by Newport News Mayor McKinley L. Price, DDS, and Virginia Delegate David Yancey, as well as other local leaders. Father Charles Saglio provided the blessing.
The new location, in the Compass Pointe office development, affords Saint Leo University's adult students and prospective adult students "another opportunity to reach their education goals by providing them the best in quality education," said Stephens. The Newport News Office is easy to reach from Interstate 64, and brings more of Saint Leo University's regional resources together in a modern, technology-rich environment. Saint Leo has been educating adult students in Virginia since 1974.
Programs are available in Newport News for undergraduate degrees, including the associate degree and bachelor's degrees in business, criminal justice, human resource management, sociology, computer information systems, and health care management.
