Mechanisms and techniques provide a system that operates in content routers and content engines in peered content distribution networks. Using domain name specifications associated with the content distribution networks, a content router may provide a forward domain resolution response to redirect a domain resolution request to another peered content distribution network. If a secondary content router determines that a content request is not to be processed in its content distribution network, it may respond with: a reflected domain resolution response that is returned to a primary content router or a forward domain resolution response. Content engines may also reflect content requests back to the primary content router by providing: a reflected redirect content response to a client, or a redirect forward content response that must be resolved. After termination of a peering relationship, a reflection continuation period may be defined during which secondary content networks provide reflected or forwarded responses.

A system 100 for tracking the movement of multiple objects within a predefined area using a continuation of overhead X-Y tracking cameras 24 with attached frequency selective filter 24f. Also employed are perspective Z filming cameras sets 30. Objects to be tracked, such as player 17, have been marked to include some form of frequency selective reflective material such as an ink. Typical markers include patches 7r and 7l, sticker 9 and tape 4a as well as additional body joint markers 17af through 17l. System 100 radiates selected energy 23a throughout the predefined area of tracking that is specifically chosen to reflect off said reflective materials used to mark for instance player 17. The reflected energy is then received by tracking cameras 24 while all other ambient light is blocked by filter 24f. Local Computer System 60 continuously captures images from said tracking cameras 24 which include only the minimum information created by said reflected energy. System 60 efficiently locates said markings on said multiple objects and uses this location information to determine for each marking its angle of rotation, angle of azimuth and distance from a designated origin 17o local to player 17. Local origin 17o is then expressed as a three-dimensional coordinate with respect to the origin of the playing venue 2a. The continuous stream of tracked three-dimensional coordinates, defining the body joints on players such as 17, is then transmitted to a remote computer where it can be used to drive a graphic re-animation of the object movement. Along with this re-animation, additional performance measurements may be derived from the continuous stream and automatically made available in real-time.

Gestures for converting from a position control mode to a motion continuation mode are disclosed. A position control mode can be invoked when the user simultaneously places two or more fingers upon a sensor panel. The fingers can then be moved around to effect position control. A motion continuation mode can be invoked when one or more fingers are lifted off (but at least one finger remains in contact with the sensor panel). If the motion continuation mode is invoked, a virtual control ring can be generated, and scrolling of the viewable area or dragging of the cursor or object can continue in a particular direction specified by a velocity vector pointed in the direction of finger movement at the time the motion continuation mode is invoked, and having a magnitude proportional to the velocity of the finger at the time the motion continuation mode was invoked.

A print control system, method, and computer-program product with a print dialogue box and a printing information dialogue box. In response to a print request, the print dialogue box displays current print settings, enables modification to the print settings, and confirms the print job. Upon a confirmation of the print job, the printing information dialogue box displays automatically a synopsis of the print settings for the impending print job. The automatically displayed printing information dialogue box allows the user to confirm that the print settings are indeed the print settings desired for the particular print job prior to issuance of the print job to the printer. The printing information dialogue box permits cancellation, modification, or continuation of the print job. Once the print job has been completed, a print job dialogue box indicates that the print job is complete. The printing process thus involves entering a print request for a print job, displaying the print dialogue box in response to the print request, displaying, upon receipt of the print job confirmation and prior to issuance of the print job, the printing information dialogue box, and directing the print job by cancellation of the print job, modification of the print job, or submission of the print job to the printer. By displaying the current print settings to the user, the user can confirm that the settings are correct and issue the print job, can interrupt the print job to change the print settings, or cancel the print job. The printing process can be included on a computer program product which stores the necessary data to implement the printing process on a general purpose computer or a network of general purpose computers.

An electronic device displays a user interface in a first display state. The device detects a first portion of a gesture on a touch-sensitive surface, including detecting intensity of a respective contact of the gesture. In response to detecting the first portion of the gesture, the device displays an intermediate display state between the first display state and a second display state. In response to detecting the end of the gesture: if intensity of the respective contact had reached a predefined intensity threshold prior to the end of the gesture, the device displays the second display state; otherwise, the device redisplays the first display state. After displaying an animated transition between a first display state and a second state, the device, optionally, detects an increase of the contact intensity. In response, the device displays a continuation of the animation in accordance with the increasing intensity of the respective contact.
