Systems, methods and computer-executable code stored on computer readable media for synchronizing the evolving state of a dynamic object in a shared virtual environment among a plurality of geographically separated computers connected in a communications network including data communications links introducing time delays in the propagation of data between said computers. The synchronization scheme utilizes an advanced feedback controller to compensate for the state error between sites, comprised of a linear compensator and a Smith predictor based internal model, to determine correct control forces creating a smooth input while maintaining high levels of responsiveness and consistency. A recovery filter for restoring the natural motion of the virtual object distorted by synchronization control is also described.

A method is provided for enterprise management and bundling of radio, outdoor and entertainment inventory to achieve maximum revenue on perishable products. An electronic data-mart 110 or central information storage and data processing system is established to collect influencing factors for the probability and price sensitivity of a particular advertising buyer 120. The data-mart 110 also collects business rules for inventory scaling, available inventory to sell, budget (goal) information, advertiser payment history, and station performance data to feed to a scenario planner 130. Once three or more variables exist, inventory and pricing fuzzy logic algorithms create scenario plans to present the most profitable bundle of offerings. The scenarios are typically pre-approved although presented to the local business units 150 for an abnormality failsafe. Once processed by the local business units 150, the scenarios are presented to the advertising buyer 120. Negotiations typically take place which cause for the process to restart. The main systems that interact to build these scenarios are: an enterprise data-mart 110, a scenario planner 130, a performance measure system 170, a rate or yield management subsystem 160, a traffic and accounts receivable system 180 and a similarly configured local inventory booking system 190. A business rules engine provides the local rule definitions for scaling inventory and price to provide for the most profitable combination.

The character inputting system includes a key module (10) having five keys, a key signal generator (20) for converting a contact button signal provided from the key module into a key signal and outputting the converted result, and a data generator (30) generating data corresponding to the key signal output from the key signal generator (20).

The invention discloses a method and a device for adjusting layout of a response region of an input method keyboard. The method comprises the following steps of completing drop point data outside a vision input frame of each key in the input method keyboard according to key drop point data; determining a target hotspot distribution making casual click data of the input method keyboard minimum from a plurality of hotspot distributions according to the completed drop point data, and taking the target hotspot distribution and a hotspot distribution of the input method keyboard. According to the method for adjusting the layout of the response region of the input method keyboard in the embodiments of the invention, the hotspot distribution of the input method keyboard is accurately adjusted according to the key drop point data, the adjusted hotspot distribution can make the casual click data of the input method keyboard minimum when the data is input, so that the condition of casual click when a user inputs the data is greatly improved, and thus the overall input becomes more fluent, and the input efficiency and the input experience of the user can be improved.

Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for subspace video stabilization. A subspace video stabilization technique may provide a robust and efficient approach to video stabilization that achieves high-quality camera motion for a wide range of videos. The technique may transform a set of input two-dimensional (2D) motion trajectories so that they are both smooth and resemble visually plausible views of the imaged scene; this may be achieved by enforcing subspace constraints on feature trajectories while smoothing them. The technique may assemble tracked features in the video into a trajectory matrix, factor the trajectory matrix into two low-rank matrices, and perform filtering or curve fitting in a low-dimensional linear space. The technique may employ a moving factorization technique that is both efficient and streamable.
