Lightning Stake is a Miracle in Dark Souls 3. To cast a Miracle you must use a Talisman/Chime or Special Weapons that can cast Miracles.
Lightning Stake
|Spell Type
|Focus Cost
|Slots Used
|35 Faith
|Melee Attack
A lost dragonslaying miracle.
Strikes with a stake of lightning.
This tale describes the lost practices of ancient dragonslayers, who found that in order to pierce dragonscale, lightning should not be hurled as a bolt, but rather be thrust as a stake directly into the dragon's hide, to be truly effective.
Acquired From
- Dropped by the Carthus Sandworm in Smouldering Lake.
- This miracle causes the player to summon a lightning bolt then stab it into the ground in front of them. Has a small AOE radius, but does large amounts of damage if the enemy is struck directly with the stake.
- Works well with Spear-Type miracles in PVP. Because the initial casting animation is identical to the regular Great Lightning Spear animation, it can be good for tricking opponents into rolling into a high damage stake, or getting caught by a long ranged spear.
- Does the same damage as Lightning Spear on a poor hit. 200% damage on a good hit and 300% damage on a perfect hit.
- A perfect Lightning Stake deals 55% more damage than a perfect melee Lightning Spear.
- Sped up in Regulation 1.08 and in Patch 1.11, and now uses the Dark Edge casting animation.
- Very useful for catching foes using Quickstep since the AOE will catch them.

Not a stab23 Jun 2016 04:22
Even though the description says you stab lighting stack into the ground, you are actually just throwing it down. If you do it just right on a cliff (i tried this at fire link shrine, on the bridge towards Blacksmith, directly over the tunnel under the bridge) so that you finnish the animation right as you fall off, the lightning bolt will travel down to the floor bellow (and slightly behind) you, and explode with AOE (after it has left your hand in the animation).ReplyReplies (1)

Damages of lighting miracles08 Jun 2016 16:51
Tested on the corvians on the road of sacrifice.
40 int, 45 faith
+5 crystal chime
lighnting clutch ring, ring of the suns first born, mornes ring, priestess ring (40 faith to 45)

Lighting Stake does 1087, 886, 522, 364, 158 (depending on how well u hit)
lighting spear gets 635 at close and 364 at range
great lighting spear gets 861 at close range and 497 at range
sunlight spear gets 1271 damage close range and 757 at range
lighting storm is harder to read it appears the the wave given off does 317 per hit but its likely to hit twice causing 634 and if you're close enough the stike can cause another 317 totaling at 951

Sunlight spear just out classes all the other miracle but u need to beat the game to get it.
Lighting stake sports the second highest damage potential out of all other miracles and the fact u can get it so early makes it that much better.
Lighting storm really is a lack luster miracle for how late you get it, it's giant aoe can be very useful but the relative low damage makes me wounder if its worth the two spaces.ReplyReplies (3)
Sunlight spear23 Apr 2016 15:37
At 40 faith, this miracles deals slightly less damage than the sunlight spear (both melee, perfect hits), while requiring 1 more slot.
I tested it in the road of sacrifices with the big guys with the wooden moons on their backs, talisman +9 and ring of the sun's first born. I got 508 damage with the stake and 568 damage with the sunlight spear.ReplyReplies (2)
Sunlight spear22 Apr 2016 22:45

Smithtree Photography is one of those photography duos that manage to capture all the little moments in between the big moments of your Big Day… I chatted to Russell Smith, one half of the duo, about what makes Smithtree tick – here's what he had to say.
1. What do you offer to those planning their weddings???
When we meet with the couple beforehand we go through the order of events, discuss possible ideas for the day, inquire if there are any special requests and just get to know what they are about and what they like. We visit the venue and make note of the light, look for potential spots to take the couple for their shoot, get an idea of distances between ceremony and reception etc. We believe that good preparation is half the job done and is crucial.
2. What makes Smithtree Photography different???
I have been shooting for close to ten years professionally in studio and location in the fields of decor, food, portraits and travel. Weddings are a relatively new speciality, which gives us a fresh look at shooting weddings by bringing in all our disciplines. We don't pretend to be classic wedding photographers, in fact we seek clients that look for a different approach with more of the imagination of the day. Beautifully composed and lit imagery with memorable expressions and emotions are what we strive to record on camera. We also work as two photographers, giving us a little space to capture the moments in between – the ones that tell the full story.
3. Why did you choose to focus on weddings???
Wedding photography with the invention of the digital camera has opened up the genre to be more playful and more creative. While you need to be focused and be in the right place at the right time, there is now loads of room to have fun with imagery and push the boundaries like shooting into sunlight which was very risky with film.
4. What advice do you have for brides who are planning their weddings???
Two things:
Look at the portfolio of your photographer closely. What you see you will get. The way a photographer sees through the camera, the lenses they use and how they treat the images afterwards are all demonstrated in their work. So if you love the work you see in their portfolios, then you will be happy. Don't get a photographer that shoots great documentary style and hope that the images will look more like fashion.
Secondly, the day belongs to you, for you to concentrate on enjoying and being in the moment. So appoint a sister, best friend or aunt to help co-ordinate the logistics with the photographers on the day. It shouldn't be your responsibility on the day to gather your family for the group shots for example.
5. My favourite part of a wedding is…?
The time we get to photograph the couple. They have just exchanged their vows and there is a real excitement that I strive to get on camera. We get to go away for a while somewhere beautiful where we can capture them together, married for the first time. We treat it like a little fashion/lifestyle shoot and have a lot of fun.
6. I love weddings because…?
They are positive and hopefully once in a lifetime!
7. My number one tip for wedding photography is…?
Focus and preparation. I've mentioned preparation but you need to know where and what is important at any given moment. Life is happening all around you with a million potential possibilities for great images. You need to be there in person and in mind. It can be pretty harrowing when the bride walks down the aisle and a million guests are trying to take shots in front of you and the bride is expecting you to get the shot. Also learn when to stand in the background and when to take over and direct. The wedding, in my opinion, is not about the photographer, so step back and observe and document. When you're alone with the couple then they will need your direction to get the right angles and lighting – they need to be able to trust that you know what you are doing.
8. My favourite wedding trend with photography is…?
To not get caught up in trends but shoot what feels natural for yourself, that way you will attract people who like the honesty in your work and your style. And to go back to the most important principles of good lighting and then use post production. Too many young photographers don't have a clue about good quality light, all they do is use Photoshop to fix their images. Not us.
My brother is lucky enough to have booked Smithtree for their wedding in December – I can't wait to see the pics!
Until next time!
Much love,

Old Photograph Andrew Cruickshank Scotland
Old photograph of Andrew Cruickshank, who was born to Andrew and Mary Cruickshank on 25 December 1907 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Educated at Aberdeen Grammar School, he was to have entered the profession of civil engineering after completing his education, but instead joined provincial repertory theatres, leading to 1930 roles in Othello at the Savoy Theatre in London, England, as Maudelyn in Richard of Bordeaux at the Empire Theatre on Broadway in 1934. His first film role followed in 1937, as the poet Robert Burns in Auld Lang Syne. He appeared in many television plays and series, amongst them A. J. Cronin's Dr Finlay's Casebook, containing his most famous characterisation, Doctor Angus Cameron, a crusty but erudite senior partner in the rural general practice run in Tannochbrae, with the help of the much younger Doctor Alan Finlay and stiff Presbyterian housekeeper Janet. The highly popular BBC production ran from 16 August 1962 until 3 January 1971, after which Cruickshank continued with it on BBC Radio 4 for seven years, it having been adapted to that format since 10 March 1970. He finally bade farewell to the character on 18 December 1978, following its parting episode, Going Home. In 1963 he played the title role in the BBC sitcom Mr Justice Duncannon, having appeared as that character in the final episode of the 1962 sitcom Brothers in Law. He married Curigwen, and they had one son and two daughters. He was chair of the board of directors of Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 1970 and 1983. He died on 29 April 1988 in London.

I have only used twice and wasn't really a fan. It seems to be to thick and heavy for what I like to use. Although I felt this same way about the 4-in-1 liquid foundation and after several uses ended up loving it!

It runs a little dark, but was perfect for summer and works as moisturizer, primer, and foundation!

Most lights tend to not give me any color at all, so I feel like I have to add more blush than I prefer.....this does run a little darker, but it's perfect for me! I love the fact that it's a multi purpose product as well. I use this daily and LOVE it!!
Posted by Becky on 18th Sep 2014
I thought this moisturizer would be the perfect shade for me, since the Pur pressed foundation in Light matches me really well. However, I found it to be a bit too dark and yellow-tinted. It also doesn't provide very much coverage. However, it does feel nice as a moisturizer, and made me skin very smooth!

This application is a Continuation-in-Part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/497,252 entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOWING A REMOTE SITE TO INTERACT WITH AN INTERMEDIATE DATABASE TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE REMOTE SITE," filed on Feb. 3, 2000, which is a Continuation-in-Part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/378,221 entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING A REMOTE LOCATION BY SCANNING AN OPTICAL CODE," filed on Aug. 19, 1999, which is a Continuation-in-Part of the following two pending U.S. patent Applications: Ser. No. 09/151,471 entitled "METHOD FOR INTERFACING SCANNED PRODUCT INFORMATION WITH A SOURCE FOR THE PRODUCT OVER A GLOBAL NETWORK" filed on Sep. 11, 1998, and Ser. No. 09/151,530 entitled "METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COMPUTER WITH AN AUDIO SIGNAL" filed on Sep. 11, 1998, and now has issued on Aug. 1, 2000 as U.S. Pat. No. 6,098,106.
This invention is related to a method of computer control and, more particularly, to a system for automatically directing a web browser application on the computer to retrieve and display information in response to an analog signal.
With the growing numbers of computer users connecting to the "Internet," many companies are seeking the substantial commercial opportunities presented by such a large user base. For example, one technology which exists allows a television ("TV") signal to trigger a computer response in which the consumer will be guided to a personalized web page. The source of the triggering signal may be a TV, video tape recorder, or radio. For example, if a viewer is watching a TV program in which an advertiser offers viewer voting, the advertiser may transmit a unique signal within the television signal which controls a program known as a "browser" on the viewer's computer to automatically display the advertiser's web page. The viewer then simply makes a selection which is then transmitted back to the advertiser.
In order to provide the viewer with the capability of responding to a wide variety of companies using this technology, a database of company information and Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") codes is necessarily maintained in the viewer's computer, requiring continuous updates. URLs are short strings of data that identify resources on the Internet: documents, images, downloadable files, services, electronic mailboxes, and other resources. URLs make resources available under a variety of naming schemes and access methods such as HTTP, FTP, and Internet mail, addressable in the same simple way. URLs reduce the tedium of "login to this server, then issue this magic command . . . " down to a single click. The Internet uses URLs to specify the location of files on other servers. A URL includes the type of resource being accessed (e.g., Web, gopher, FTP), the address of the server, and the location of the file. The URL can point to any file on any networked computer. Current technology requires the viewer to perform periodic updates to obtain the most current URL database. This aspect of the current technology is cumbersome since the update process requires downloading information to the viewer's computer. Moreover, the likelihood for error in performing the update, and the necessity of redoing the update in the event of a later computer crash, further complicates the process. Additionally, current technologies are limited in the number of companies which may be stored in the database. This is a significant limitation since world-wide access presented by the Internet and the increasing number of companies connecting to perform on-line E-commerce necessitates a large database.
The present invention disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a method for delivering information from a content location on a global communication network (GCN) to a user location thereon. In a computer database, GCN routing information for each of a plurality of content locations on the GCN are associated with a predefined combination of one of a plurality of advertising codes and one of a plurality of possible statistical outcomes. One of the plurality of advertising codes is received from the user location. Data regarding multiple GCN users is statistically processed to derive one of the plurality of statistical outcomes. The one of the plurality of advertising codes and the one of the plurality of statistical outcomes are combined to derive a particular one of the predefined combinations. Routing information for a particular one of the plurality of content locations which is associated with the particular one of the predefined combinations is then retrieved from the database. The routing information for the particular one of the plurality of content locations is transmitted to the user location. The user location then connects to the particular one of the plurality of content locations in accordance with the routing information retrieved from the database and information from the particular one of the plurality of content locations is delivered back to the user location.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings in which:
Referring now to
On the receive side of the system, a conventional receiver 110, such as a television is provided. This television provides a speaker output which provides the user with an audible signal. This is typically associated with the program. However, the receiver 110 in the disclosed embodiment, also provides an audio output jack, this being the type RCA jack. This jack is utilized to provide an audio output signal on a line 113 which is represented by an audio signal 111. This line 113 provides all of the audio that is received over the communication link 108 to the PC 112 in the audio input port on the PC 112. However, it should be understood that, although a direct connection is illustrated from the receiver 110 to the PC 112, there actually could be a microphone pickup at the PC 112 which could pick the audio signal up. In the disclosed embodiment, the audio signal generated by the advertiser data input device 100 is audible to the human ear and, therefore, can be heard by the user. Therefore, no special filters are needed to provide this audio to the PC 112.
The PC 112 is operable to run programs thereon which typically are stored in a program file area 116. These programs can be any type of programs such as word processing programs, application programs, etc. In the disclosed embodiment, the program that is utilized in the system is what is referred to as a "browser." The PC 112 runs a browser program to facilitate the access of information on the network, for example, a global communication network known as the "Internet" or the World-Wide-Web ("Web"). The browser is a hypertext-linked application used for accessing information. Hypertext is a term used to describe a particular organization of information within a data processing system, and its presentation to a user. It exploits the computer's ability to link together information from a wide variety of sources to provide the user with the ability to explore a particular topic. The traditional style of presentation used in books employs an organization of the information which is imposed upon it by limitations of the medium, namely fixed sized, sequential paper pages. Hypertext systems, however, use a large number of units of text or other types of data such as image information, graphical information, video information, or sound information, which can vary in size. A collection of such units of information is termed a hypertext document, or where the hypertext documents employ information other than text, hypermedia documents. Multimedia communications may use the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ("HTTP"), and files or formatted data may use the Hypertext Markup Language ("HTML"). This formatting language provides for a mingling of text, graphics, sound, video, and hypertext links by "tagging" a text document using HTML. Data encoded using HTML is often referred to as an "HTML document," an "HTML page," or a "home page." These documents and other Internet resources may be accessed across the network by means of a network addressing scheme which uses a locator referred to as a Uniform Resource Locator ("URL"), for example, "http://www.digital.com."
The Internet is one of the most utilized networks for interconnecting distributed computer systems and allows users of these computer systems to exchange data all over the world. Connected to the Internet are many private networks, for example, corporate or commercial networks. Standard protocols, such as the Transport Control Protocol ("TCP") and the Internet Protocol ("IP") provide a convenient method for communicating across these diverse networks. These protocols dictate how data are formatted and communicated. As a characteristic of the Internet, the protocols are layered in an IP stack. At higher levels of the IP stack, such as the application layer (where HTTP is employed), the user information is more readily visible, while at lower levels, such as the network level (where TCP/IP are used), the data can merely be observed as packets or a stream of rapidly moving digital signals. Superimposed on the Internet is a standard protocol interface for accessing Web resources, such as servers, files, Web pages, mail messages, and the like. One way that Web resources can be accessed is by browsers made by Netscape® and Microsoft Internet Explorers.
Referring again now to
By utilizing the system described herein with respect to the disclosed embodiment of
Referring now to
The remote server address is in the form of a URL. This appended data, in addition to other control codes, is inserted directly into the web browser application for automatic routing to the communication network. The web browser running on PC 204, and communicating to the network with an internal modem 208, in this embodiment, transmits the advertiser information to the remote server. The remote server cross-references the advertiser product information to the address of the advertiser server located on the network. The address of the advertiser server is routed back through the PC 204 web browser to the advertiser server. The advertiser product information is returned to PC 204 to be presented to the viewer on display 118. In this particular embodiment, the particular advertiser product information displayed is contained within the advertiser's web page 212. As mentioned above, the audio signal is audible to the human ear. Therefore the audio signal, as emitted from the TV speakers, may be input to the sound card 206 via a microphone. Furthermore, the audio signal need not be a real-time broadcast, but may be on video tapes, CDs, DVD, or other media which may be displayed at a later date. With the imminent implementation of high definition digital television, the audio signal output from the TV may also be digital. Therefore, direct input into a sound card for A/D purposes may not be necessary, but alternative interfacing techniques to accommodate digital-to-digital signal formats would apply.

The information transactions, in general, which occur between the networked systems of this embodiment, over the communication network, are the following. The web browser running on source PC 302 transmits a message packet to the ARS 308 over Path "A." The ARS 308 decodes the message packet and performs a cross-reference function with product information extracted from the received message packet to obtain the address of an advertiser server 312. A new message packet is assembled comprising the advertiser server 312 address, and sent back to the source PC 302 over Path "B." A "handoff" operation is performed whereby the source PC 302 browser simply reroutes the information on to the advertiser server 312 over Path "C," with the appropriate source and destination address appended. The advertiser server 312 receives and decodes the message packet. The request-for-advertiser-product-information is extracted and the advertiser 312 retrieves the requested information from its database for transmission back to the source PC 302 over Path "D." The source PC 302 then processes the information, i.e., for display to the viewer. The optional Path "E" is discussed hereinbelow. It should be noted that the disclosed methods are not limited to only browser communication applications, but may accommodate, with sufficient modifications by one skilled in the art, other communication applications used to transmit information over the Internet or communication network.

Upon receipt of the message packet 400 from source PC 302, ARS 308 processes the information in accordance with instructions embedded in the overhead information. The ARS 308 specifically will extract the product code information from the received packet 400 and, once extracted, will then decode this product code information. Once decoded, this information is then compared with data contained within the ARS advertiser database 310 to determine if there is a "hit." If there is no "hit" indicating a match, then information is returned to the browser indicating such. If there is a "hit," a packet 402 is assembled which comprises the address of the source PC 302, and information instructing the source PC 302 as to how to access, directly in a "handoff" operation, another location on the network, that of an advertiser server 312. This type of construction is relatively conventional with browsers such as Netscape® and Microsoft Internet Explorer® and, rather than displaying information from the ARS 308, the source PC 302 can then access the advertiser server 312. The ARS 308 transmits the packet 402 back to source PC 302 over Path "B." Referring now to
Upon receipt of the message packet 402 by the source PC 302, the message packet 402 is disassembled to obtain pertinent routing information for assembly of a new message packet 404. The web browser running on source PC 302 is now directed to obtain, over Path "C," the product information relevant to the particular advertiser server 312 location information embedded in message packet 404. Referring now to
Upon receipt of the message packet 404 from source PC 302, advertiser server 312 disassembles the message packet 404 to obtain the request-for-product-information data. The advertiser server 312 then retrieves the particular product information from its database, and transmits it over Path "D" back to the source PC 302. Referring now to
Optionally, the ARS 308 may make a direct request for product information over Path "E" to advertiser server 312. In this mode, the ARS 308 sends information to the advertiser server 312 instructing it to contact the source PC 302. This, however, is unconventional and requires more complex software control. The message packet 408 for this transaction is illustrated in

The associated ID 1304 that is transmitted along with the routing information in primary routing information 904 is then compared with the profile database 1308 to determine if a profile associated therewith is available. This information is stored in a transaction database 1310 such that, at a later time, for each routing code received in the form of the information in primary routing information 904, there will associated therewith the IDs 1304 of each of the PCs 906. The associated profiles in database 1308, which are stored in association with IDs 1304, can then be assembled and transmitted to a subscriber as referenced by a subscriber node 1312 on the network 910. The ARS 308 can do this in two modes, a realtime mode or a non-realtime mode. In a realtime mode, each time a PC 906 accesses the advertiser database 310, that user's profile information is uploaded to the subscriber node 1312. At the same time, billing information is generated for that subscriber 1312 which is stored in a billing database 1316. Therefore, the ARS 308 has the ability to inform the subscriber 1312 of each transaction, bill for those transactions, and also provide to the subscriber 1312 profile information regarding who is accessing the particular product advertisement having associated therewith the routing information field 904 for a particular routing code as described hereinabove. This information, once assembled, can then be transmitted to the subscriber 1312 and also be reflected in billing information and stored in the billing information database 1316.

Once all of the information is collected, in either the basic mode or the more specific mode, the program will then flow to a function block 1412 where this information is stored locally. The program then flows to a decision block 1414 to then go on-line to the host or the ARS 308. In general, the user is prompted to determine whether he or she wants to send this information to the host at the present time or to send it later. If he or she selects the "later" option, the program will flow to a function block 1415 to prompt the user at a later time to send the information. In the disclosed embodiment, the user will not be able to utilize the software until the profile information is sent to the host. Therefore, the user may have to activate this at a later time in order to connect with the host.
If the user has selected the option to upload the profile information to the host, the program will flow to the function block 1416 to initiate the connect process and then to a decision block 1418 to determine if the connection has been made. If not, the program will flow along a "N" path to a decision block 1420 which will timeout to an error block 1422 or back to the input of the connect decision block 1418. The program, once connected, will then flow along a "Y" path from decision block 1418 to a function block 1428 to send the profile information with the ID of the computer or user to the host. The ID is basically, as described hereinabove, a "cookie" in the computer which is accessed by the program when transmitting to the host. The program will then flow to a function block 1430 to activate the program such that it, at later time, can operate without requiring all of the setup information. In general, all of the operation of this flowchart is performed with a "wizard" which steps the user through the setup process. Once complete, the program will flow to a Done block 1432.

The profile information can be transmitted back to the subscriber or manufacturer at the node 312 in realtime or non-realtime. A decision block 1512 is provided for this, which determines if the delivery is realtime. If realtime, the program will flow along a "Y" path to a function block 1514 wherein the information will be immediately forwarded to the manufacturer or subscriber. The program will then flow to a function block 1516 wherein the billing for that particular manufacturer or subscriber will be updated in the billing database 1316. The program will then flow into an End block 1518. If it was non-realtime, the program moves along the "N" path to a function block 1520 wherein it is set for a later delivery and it is accrued in the transaction database 1310. In any event, the transaction database 1310 will accrue all information associated with a particular routing code.
With a realtime transaction, it is possible for a manufacturer to place an advertisement in a magazine or to place a product on a shelf at a particular time. The manufacturer can thereafter monitor the times when either the advertisements are or the products are purchased. Of course, they must be scanned into a computer which will provide some delay. However, the manufacturer can gain a very current view of how a product is moving. For example, if a cola manufacturer were to provide a promotional advertisement on, for example, television, indicating that a new cola was going to be placed on the shelf and that the first 1000 purchasers, for example, scanning their code into the network would receive some benefit, such as a chance to win a trip to some famous resort in Florida or some other incentive, the manufacturer would have a very good idea as to how well the advertisement was received. Further, the advertiser would know where the receptive markets were. If this advertiser, for example, had placed the television advertisement in ten cities and received overwhelming response from one city, but very poor response from another city, he would then have some inclination to believe that either the one poor-response city was not a good market or that the advertising medium he had chosen was very poor. Since the advertiser can obtain a relatively instant response and also content with that response as to the demographics of the responder, very important information can be obtained in a relatively short time.
It should be noted that the disclosed embodiment is not limited to a single source PC 302, but may encompass a large number of source computers connected over a global communication network. Additionally, the embodiment is not limited to a single ARS 308 or a single advertiser server 312, but may include a plurality of ARS and advertiser systems, indicated by the addition of ARS 314 and advertiser server A 316, respectively. It should also be noted that this embodiment is not limited only to global communication networks, but also may be used with LAN, WAN, and peer-to-peer configurations.
It should also be noted that the disclosed embodiment is not limited to a personal computer, but is also applicable to, for example, a Network Computer ("NetPC"), a scaled-down version of the PC, or any system which accommodates user interaction and interfaces to information resources.
One typical application of the above noted technique is for providing a triggering event during a program, such as a sport event. In a first example, this may be generated by an advertiser. One could imagine that, due to the cost of advertisements in a high profile sports program, there is a desire to utilize this time wisely. If, for example, an advertiser contracted for 15 seconds worth of advertising time, they could insert within their program a tone containing the routing information. This routing information can then be output to the user's PC 302 which will cause the user's PC 302 to, via the network, obtain information from a remote location typically controlled by the advertiser. This could be in the form of an advertisement of a length longer than that contracted for. Further, this could be an interactive type of advertisement. An important aspect to the type of interaction between the actual broadcast program with the embedded routing information and the manufacturer's site is the fact that there is provided information as to the user's PC 302 and a profile of the user themselves. Therefore, an advertiser can actually gain realtime information as to the number of individuals that are watching their particular advertisement and also information as to the background of those individuals, profile information, etc. This can be a very valuable asset to an advertiser.
In another example, the producer of the program, whether it be an on-air program, a program embedded in a video tape, CD-ROM, DVD, or a cassette, can allow the user to automatically access additional information that is not displayed on the screen. For example, in a sporting event, various statistics can be provided to the user from a remote location, merely by the viewer watching the program. When these statistics are provided, the advertiser can be provided with profile information and background information regarding the user. This can be important when, for example, the user may record a sports program. If the manufacturer sees that this program routing code is being output from some device at a time later than the actual broadcast itself, this allows the advertisers to actually see that their program is still being used and also what type of individual is using it. Alternatively, the broadcaster could determine the same and actually bill the advertiser an additional sum for a later broadcast. This is all due to the fact that the routing information automatically, through a PC and a network, will provide an indication to the advertiser the time at which the actual information was broadcast.
The different type of medium that can be utilized with the above embodiment are such things as advertisements, which are discussed hereinabove, contests, games, news programs, education, coupon promotional programs, demonstration media (demos), and photographs, all of which can be broadcast on a private site or a public site. This all will provide the ability to allow realtime interface with the network and the remote location for obtaining the routed information and also allow for realtime billing and accounting.

The wedge interface 1608 is simply an interface box containing circuitry that accommodates inputs from both the scanning input device 1600 and a computer keyboard 1610. This merely allows the information scanned by the input device 1600 to be input into the PC 302. In the disclosed embodiment, the wedge interface 1608 will convert any information. The data output from the input device 1600 is passed into the wedge interface 1608 for conversion into keyboard data which is readily recognizable by the PC 302. Therefore, the input device 1600 is not required to be connected to a separate port on the PC 302. This data is recognized as a sequence of keystrokes. However, the output of the input device 1600 can be input in any manner compatible with the PC 302. When not receiving scanner data, the wedge interface 1608 simply acts as a pass-through device for keyboard data from the keyboard 1610. In any case, the information is ultimately processed by a processor in the PC 302 and can be presented to the user on a display 1612. The wedge interface 1608 is operable to provide a decoding function for the bar code 1606 and conversion thereof to keystroke input data.
In operation, the product code of a product is provided in the form of a bar code 1606. This bar code 1606 is the "link" to a product. The disclosed embodiment is operable to connect that product information contained in the bar code 1606 with a web page of the manufacturer of that product by utilizing the bar code 1606 as the product "identifier." The program operating on the PC 302 provides routing information to the ARS 308 after launching the browser on the PC 302 and connecting to the ARS 308 over the GCN 306, which ARS 308 then performs the necessary steps to cause the browser to connect to the manufacturer web site, while also providing for an accounting step, as will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
The bar code 1606 by itself is incompatible with any kind of network for the purposes of communication therewith. It is primarily provided for a retail-type setting. Therefore, the information contained in the bar code 1606, by itself, does not allow for anything other than identification of a product, assuming that one has a database 1614 containing information as to a correlation between the product and the bar code 1606.
The wedge interface 1608 is operable to decode the bar code 1606 to extract the encoded information therein, and append to that decoded bar code information relating to an ID for the input device 1600. This information is then forwarded to the ARS 308 by the resident program in the PC 302. This is facilitated by intermediate routing information stored in the program indicating to which node on the GCN 306 the scanned bar code information is to be sent, i.e., to the ARS 308. It is important to note that the information in the bar code 1606 must be converted from its optical image to numerical values which are then ultimately input to the keyboard input port of PC 302 and converted into data compatible with communication software residing on the PC 302 (in this case, HTML language for insertion into a browser program). When the scanned information is input to the PC 302, the resident program launches the browser program and then assembles a communication packet comprised of the URL of the ARS 308, the input device ID and the user ID. If another type of communications program were utilized, then it would have to be converted into language compatible with that program. Of course, a user could actually key in the information on the bar code 102 and then append the appropriate intermediate routing information thereafter. As will be described hereinbelow, the intermediate routing information appended thereto is the URL of the ARS 308 disposed on the GCN 306.
As part of the configuration for using the input device 1600, the PC 302 hosts input device software which is operable to interpret data transmitted from the input device 1600, and to create a message packet having the scanned product information and input device ID, routing information, and a user ID which identifies the user location of the input device 1600. The input device software loads at boot-up of the PC 302 and runs in the background. In response to receiving a scanned bar code 1606, the wedge interface 1608 outputs a keystroke code (e.g., ALT-F10) to bring the input device program into the foreground for interaction by the operating system. The input device program then inserts the necessary information into the browser program. The message packet is then transmitted to interface 304 across the global communication network 306 to the ARS 308. The ARS 308 interrogates the message packet and performs a lookup function using the ARS database 310. If a match is found between particular parameters of the message packet, a return message packet is sent back to the PC 302 for processing.
The input device program running on PC 302 functions to partition the browser window displayed to the user into several individual areas. This is for the purpose of preparing to present to the user selected information in each of the individual areas (also called "framing"). The selected information comprises the product information which the user requested by scanning the bar code 1606 using the input device 1600, information about the input device distributor which establishes the identity of the company associated with that particular input device 1600, and at least one or more other frames which may be advertisements related to other products that the input device distributor sells. Note that the advertisements displayed by the input device distributor may be related to the product of interest or totally unrelated. For example, if a user scans the bar code 1606 of a soda from Company A, the input device distributor may generate an advertisement of a new soft drink being marketed by Company A, that it sells. On the other hand, the input device distributor may also structure the display of information to the user such that a user requesting product information of a Product X may get the requested information of Product X along with advertisements for a competing item Product Y. Essentially, the input device distributor is free to generate any advertisement to the user in response to the user requesting product information.
The return message packet transmitted from the ARS 308 to the PC 302 is then transmitted back across the GCN 306 to the advertiser server 312. The advertiser server 312 restructures the message packet and appends the particular product information for transmission back to the PC 302. Upon receiving the particular advertiser information from advertiser server 312, the PC 302 then retransmits a message to the input device distributor site 1616 and E-commerce site 1618 to obtain the information that needs to be framed in the browser window displayed to the user.
Therefore, the input device 1600 is associated with the input device distributor by way of a input device ID such that scanning a product bar code 1606 in order to obtain information about that particular product generates one or more responses from one or more remote sites disposed on the GCN 306. Stored in the input device 1600 is the input device ID which establishes its relationship to the input device distributor. Proprietary input device software running on the PC 302 operates to decode scanned bar code information and the input device ID received from the input device 1600 and wedge interface 1608, and also provides a unique user ID for establishing the location of the user of the input device 1600. The input device software also assembles message packets and works in conjunction with the on-board communication software (e.g., a browser) to automatically route the message packets across the GCN 306 such that the one or more remote sites disposed on the GCN 306 return information to be framed for presentation to the user.

The microcontroller 1700 performs this function after decoding this bar code information, and conversion of this bar code information into an appropriate stream of data which is comprised of the bar code information and the appended URL. This appended URL will be pre-stored in the memory 1702 and is programmable at the time of manufacture. It is noted that the memory 1702 is illustrated as being contained within the microcontroller 1702 to provide a single chip solution. However, this could be external memory that is accessible by the microcontroller 1702. Therefore, the microcontroller 1700 provides an interface between the input device 1600 and the keyboard 1610 to the PC 302 which allows the input device 1600 to receive coded information and convert it to keyboard strokes or, alternatively, to merely pass-through the keystrokes from the keyboard 1610. Therefore, the user need not install any type of plug-in circuit board into the motherboard of the PC 302 in order to provide an interface to the input device 1600; rather, the user need only utilize the already available keyboard port in order to input the appropriate data into the system.
In this particular disclosed embodiment, the microcontroller 1700 comprises a PIC 16C73 microcontroller by Microchip Technologies™. The PIC 16C73 device is a low cost CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with an integrated analog-to-digital converter. The PIC 16C73 device, as illustrated in the disclosed embodiment, has 192 bytes of RAM and 4k×4 of EPROM memory. The microcontroller 1700 can accommodate asynchronous or synchronous inputs from input devices connected to it. In this disclosed embodiment, communication to the keyboard 1610 is synchronous while it is asynchronous when communicating with input device 1600.
It should be noted that, although in this particular embodiment bar code information of the bar code 1606 is input into the keyboard input port of the PC 302, disclosed methods may also be advantageously utilized with high speed port architectures such as Universal Serial Bus ("USB") and IEEE 1394.
Bar codes are structured to be read in either direction. Timing considerations need to be addressed because of the variety of individuals scanning the bar code introduce a wide variety of scan rates. Bar codes use bars of varying widths. The presence of a black bar generates a positive pulse, and the absence of a black bar generates no pulse. Each character of a conventional bar code has associated therewith seven pulses or bars. Depending on the width of the bars, the time between pulses varies. In this disclosed embodiment, the interface circuitry 1608 performs a "running" calculation of the scan time based upon the rising edge of the pulses commencing with the leader or header information. The minimum and maximum scans times are calculated continuously in software with the interface 1608 during the scanning process to ensure a successful scan by the user.

It can be appreciated that other information can also be provided by the ARS 308 which more closely targets the particular user of the input device 1600. For example, if it is known that a particular input device 1600 is sold in a certain geographic area, this information can be useful in targeting the particular user with certain advertising information relevant to that geographic area. In any case, the information returned from the ARS 308 over path 1902 provides enough information for the input device program running on the user PC 302 to identify a number of other sites disposed on the GCN 306. The user PC 302 then processes the return message packet and routes another message packet over a path 1904 to the advertiser server 312. The advertiser server 312 then returns product information of the particular product in which the user was interested back to the user PC 302 over a path 1906. Similarly, the user PC 302 routes information (e.g., the URL of the input device distributor site and the user profile) to the input device distributor site 1616 over a path 1908 in order to obtain information back over a path 1910 for framing any banners which identify the input device distributor. Additionally, the user PC 302 forwards a message packet to the E-commerce site 1618 over a path 1912 in order to return information regarding any particular advertisements the input device distributor wants to display to the user. The advertisements are returned to the PC 302 over a path 1914.

It can be appreciated that there may be a number of distributors using the disclosed architecture such that each distributor has an ID embedded in the input device 1600 which uniquely identifies that input device with the particular distributor. Therefore, the unique input device ID 1804 needs to be listed with the respective distributors of that input device 1600 in order to process the information that needs to be framed and displayed to that particular user. Another heading under the ARS database structure 2100 is a user heading 2106 which contains profile information associated with that particular user ID 1806. As mentioned hereinabove, the user ID 1806 is obtained via the input device software running on the PC 302 and upon installation or subsequent configuration may request that the user input certain profile information which may be used to target that particular user with products and services which identify with that user profile. The ARS database structure 2100 also contains an E-commerce heading 2108 which contains information related to the bar code 1606 and an advertisement that may be triggered by the request for that information. For example, any bar code 1606 associated with a paper source 1602 can be associated with the specific information in the ARS database 310. A user wishing to obtain information about a specific soft drink may, in fact, trigger an advertising response of a competitor product. Similarly, the user interested in information about that particular soft drink may also trigger information which is relevant to that particular product or a product which may normally be served in conjunction with that soft drink. Furthermore, if the user profile indicates that this individual has significant interest in finance or insurance, the request for information regarding this particular bar coded product may trigger advertisement from an E-commerce server 1618 related to information about finance and insurance. It should be noted that the information described as contained within the ARS database structure 2100 is not limited to what has been described, but may comprise any number of pieces of information used to present desired information to the computer display of the user.

After the input device software partitions the browser window into one or more frames in preparation of receipt of return information, flow moves to a decision block 2206 where the computer waits for information to be returned from the various sites disposed on the GCN 306. If information is not returned, flow moves out the "N" path and simply loops back to the input to continue monitoring for receipt of the information. If information has been received, flow moves out the "Y" path to a function block 2208 where routing information for each frame (or partitioned area of the window 2000) is inserted into one or more packets for transmission to the various sites. The various sites then return the requested information back to the PC 302, as indicated in function block 2210. Flow is then to a function block 2212 where the proprietary software working in conjunction with the hosted browser places the returned information into the respective frames of the window. The user, viewing the display at PC 302, then perceives a variety of information, one of which is the particular product information which he or she requested, in addition to input device distributor information, and possibly other advertisements based upon the user's profile.

Referring back to decision block 2306, if the input device ID 1804 is determined to be invalid, flow moves out the "N" path and jumps forward to the input of decision block 2314, since the lack of a input device ID 1804 interrupts the link to any advertising provided by the E-commerce server 1618. At this point, the only information provided is the link to the advertiser server 312 for return of product information. Referring now to decision block 2310, if no E-commerce information is available, flow moves out the "N" path and jumps forward to the input of function block 2314 where the message packet back to the PC 302 contains only the URL of the advertiser server 312, the bar code information, the distributor server 1616 address and input device ID 1804 information.

In one example, consider a situation wherein an advertiser has caused to be embedded within a broadcast a unique encoded audio tone. When the tone is decoded and the information extracted therefrom, this provides a unique value or a unique code. The sole determination of where the user PC 302 is routed is a function of what is contained within the advertiser database 310. However, the advertiser may desire, at some time during the life of a given advertisement, to change the location to which the user PC 302 is routed. It may even be that this decision is temporal in nature, i.e., at late hours, the advertisement may be directed toward a different class of audience. Further, the routing change may be dynamic, i.e., after a number of hits to a site, the routing may be changed. Further, "routing" can mean connection to a different web page at the same server or a completely different location.
To facilitate a control operation, the advertiser control server 2502 is allowed access to the ARS database via password protection. Once accessing the database, then the pointers to the various slave servers 2504 can be set. Of course, the advertiser control server 2502 itself can incorporate the functionality of a slave server, i.e., that being the ability to interact with a user PC 302 in order to provide information thereto and extract information therefrom.

The ARS 308 then accesses the ARS database 310 to retrieve the routing information 3212 associated with the current combination 3210. This routing information 3212 has previously been selected by the system operator to correspond to the desired content location 3002 for that combination. The routing information 3212 is then incorporated into a data packet 3300 (

The embodiment described above provides for the delivery of information from a remote site based on statistical information. In the embodiment, the determination of routing to the content site based on statistical information occurs at the second computer, e.g., the ARS 308. This arrangement will be appropriate for many situations. However, in other situations, it is desirable that the determination of routing to the content site based on statistical information occur at locations remote from the ARS 308 or from the statistical processor 3006.
In an alternate embodiment, also illustrated by
In this embodiment, however, the required data structure in the ARS database 310 is different from that previously described. As illustrated in
In operation, an advertising code 3610 is received at the second computer as previously described. The statistical processor 3006 analyzes data regarding multiple users of the GCN 306 to derive a statistical outcome as previously described. The ARS 308 then accesses the ARS database 310 to retrieve the routing information 3612 associated with the current advertising code 3610. As illustrated in

text: Just heard there's a scrapbook store in Downtown Disney! Is this true, is it worth a visit, and do they carry anything different than you would find at say, a Michael's or local scrapbook store? I'm going in June, and wasn't planning on spending much time shopping, but I may have to bop over there if scrapbook supplies are involved!!

The Original Berlin Teufelsberg tour is truly a one of a kind tour. Step back in time to post-war Berlin when it was the battleground of ideas and became the focal point of the Geopolitical struggle between East and West during the Cold War, a war of smoke and mirrors.
Starting at the Berlin Wall Memorial, we will give you the complete background to the Berlin Wall, why and how it was constructed and its subsequent development over its 28 years of existence. Here we see the only completely preserved part of the wall with all of its composite elements surviving in Berlin today and hear some of the personal stories of triumph and tragedy of those who tried and often failed to escape to the west.
From there we head to the East Side Gallery and walk along the longest surviving stretch of the wall and officially the largest outdoor art gallery in the world and see the incredible and iconic street art which actually led to its preservation.
From the East Side gallery, we head off the beaten track to the Grunewald forest and to ascend the Teufelsberg or Devil's Mountain. Overlying Albert Speer's unfinished military technical facility the hill was constructed from millions of cubic meters of rubble which was cleared from Berlin after the war. With the construction of the Berlin Wall and the deteriorating relations between the East and West, the site became incredibly significant and a top-secret spy facility was developed there and remained in use right up until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
As well as exploring its role and function during the Cold War and the breath-taking views over Berlin you will also see how the site, now privately owned, is being redeveloped and re-purposed for multiple community projects and has now become one of the largest street art galleries in Europe, with the works of many world-famous artists adorning the exposed walls of the spy station.
This place won't be open to the public forever and is truly a once in a lifetime visit. We highly recommend you take this tour!
