An improved method and apparatus for organizing, sorting, navigating and selecting for use, one or more multimedia content items available from one or more varied types of multimedia content sources, based on a multimedia content user's characteristics, preferences and entitlements, and multimedia content item attributes and characteristics. In a first aspect of the invention, a method and architecture (FIG. 11) are disclosed which uses an information structure hierarchy of parameter sets and included parameters and their associated information fields contained therein to facilitate identification, description, location and characterization of multimedia content items, multimedia content sources, and user characterizing information. In a second aspect of the invention, a method and architecture are disclosed for sorting multimedia content items by applying sorting criteria expressed in the type and format of the multimedia content item, multimedia content source and user identification, description, location and characteristics information (FIGS. 9, 10), at the time of content creation, distribution and delivery through a multimedia content source and at the time multimedia content is selected by a multimedia content user (FIG. 8), for the purposes of identifying and presenting those items appropriate for a particular multimedia content user. In a third aspect of the invention, a method and architecture are disclosed for displaying on a television or computer screen connected to a multimedia terminal, a plurality of video windows containing a menu and visual rendering (FIG. 12) of only those multimedia content items identified as appropriate for the particular multimedia content user, based on the sorting criteria. In a fourth aspect of the invention, a method and architecture are disclosed for navigating the plurality of display windows (FIGS. 14 through 19) for the purposes of selecting a multimedia content for use by the particular multimedia content user.

A digital servo control system for disk drives is an "embedded" system-one in which servo control information is embedded on the same disk surface as the user data. In contrast to known embedded-servo systems in which a space-consuming series of many dibit pairs is present, the present system provides only a single dibit pair in a fractional positional error (PESF) area. Thus, the disk drive's read head encounters only a single dibit pair per sample period (or per data sector), thus saving valuable disk space that may be used for user data. Various pre-processing methods may be provided so as to pre-process the measurement derived from the single dibit pair per sample period (or data sector), so as to compensate for non-ideal characteristics of the dibit measurement. The system thus provides an accurate and robust servo control system, while sacrificing a minimum amount of valuable disk space to the servo information field.

The disclosed embodiments may relate to memory window access and may include a memory window and plurality of queue pairs associated with a process. Each of the plurality of queue pairs may be associated with a memory window context that may have queue pair information. The memory window may be associated with a memory window context that includes a protection information field. Accordingly, access to memory window may be allowed if the queue pair information matches the protection information field.

Method and apparatus for conveying precoding information in a control message from a first node to a second node, with information on properties of an associated wireless data transmission (D) between the first and second nodes employing spatial multiplexing and precoding for the data transmission. The first node determines precoding parameters for signal transmission to the receiving node, optionally based on feedback reports from the receiving node. The first node encodes control information bits in precoding information fields of the control message by means of values in TBS fields of the control message, such that the TBS field values determine the interpretation of the bits in the precoding information field(s). The control message is then sent to the second node.

A method and system are disclosed for field level encryption of a document that provides a hardcopy having redacted sensitive information fields with multiple levels of access and an augmented reality view of the hardcopy displaying the unredacted sensitive information fields. Identification of the sensitive information fields may be accomplished via highlight color, user designation, or linguistic analysis. The identified fields are encrypted and may be stored separately, embedded in place, or embedded in a two-dimensional glyph. This information may be stored in association with a device identification of an authenticated mobile device and a document identification. A redacted hardcopy of the original document is output. A mobile device captures an image of the redacted hardcopy, decrypts the encrypted sensitive information fields, and generates an augmented reality view of the hardcopy with the previously redacted sensitive information fields visible on the display of the mobile device.

Automatically populating contact information fields of a contact information database, such as for instance an electronic address book is performed without requiring an individual to manually enter data for the contact. A message is sent to the newly added contact requesting that they fill in their contact information. When the individual is a member of a service filling in the contact information is automatable.

Methods and apparatus are described for a User Equipment (UE) to transmit and for a base station to receive a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) signal in a resource of a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH). The HARQ-ACK signal is transmitted from the UE in response to a detection of a PDCCH transmitted from the base station and conveying a DCI format that, depending on the PDCCH type, can include a HARQ-ACK PUCCH Resource Offset (HPRO) information field. The UE and the NodeB determine the PUCCH resource depending on the PDCCH type and, if the DCI format includes the HPRO, also depending on a PDCCH transmission type.

The invention discloses a smart city service configuration based on the information grid service, and the configuration comprises a smart city information central field, a smart city fusion network, at least one smart city function unit information field, and at least one client service access system. The smart city information central field is an information grid service management node, and the smart city function unit information fields are the information grid service nodes. The smart city information central field, the smart city function unit information fields and the client service access system are respectively connected to the smart city fusion network through the locally set SOA middleware based on information grid service. The configuration solves a problem of the resource integration among all function units in a smart city information construction through the technology of information grid service, so as to truly achieve the purposes of network interconnection, information intercommunication, data sharing and function cooperation. The configuration is high in access rate, is high in stability, can meet the requirements of smart mutual operation, and can be widely used in the field of smart city.

An alarm display and interface system method for use in a process control system enhances device alarm messages to enable the integrated display device alarms with process alarms. The system and method receives a device alarm message from a field device and the device alarm message has a first set of message fields including a first set of device information. The system and method appends a second set of message fields containing a second set of device information associated with the field device to the device alarm message based on the first set of device information to form an enhanced device alarm message and selects a device alarm table based on the second set of device information within the enhanced device alarm message. The system and method maps the first set of device information within the enhanced device alarm message to the selected device alarm table to identify a set of information fields containing displayable alarm information and displays a portion of the displayable alarm information.
