A computer system and method for synchronizing actions associated with media between a media/network device and peripherals. In an example implementation, a system includes a one or more processors configured to receive, by a communication module from a media/network device based on peripheral addressing information, a peripheral payload including a first set of actions and timing information related to media. The one or more processors perform the first set of actions based on the peripheral payload, generate response data for the first set of actions, and transmit the response data to the media/network device via a wireless network.

Media synchronized control of peripherals

Techniques for providing live content at different quality levels to a user device include advertising content availability at multiple quality levels for selection by the user device, receiving a quality level selection from the user device, wherein the quality level selection matches one of the advertised multiple quality levels, determining whether the received quality level selection differs from a currently used quality level, when it is determined that the received quality level selection is different from the currently used quality level, reconfiguring a transcoder to transcode the live content to only the received quality level, and updating a metafile to include a first quality level at a first bitrate lower than a bitrate for the received quality level selection and a second quality level at a second bitrate higher than the bitrate for the received quality level selection.

Tiered content streaming

Systems and methods for identifying and associating contextual metadata across related media.

Identifying and categorizing contextual data for media

A computer system for identifying and associating metadata across related media with the same content.

Management, categorization, contextualizing and sharing of metadata-based content for media

A computer system and method for delivering synchronized metadata for a media to a target device that is associated with a plurality of peripherals.

A method and apparatus for detection of missing pulses from a repetitive pulse train including signal detection circuits for capturing the rising and/or falling edges of an input signal, time-stamping the captured edges, calculating the maximum and minimum instantaneous frequency over a specified time period, and displaying such frequency values. Instantaneous frequency values between any two adjacent edges are calculated based upon the time-stamps of the edges. The instantaneous frequency values in a specified time period are then sorted to find the minimum and maximum frequency values for that time period. These instantaneous frequency values are displayed in the form of a histogram evidencing the occurrence or lack of occurrence of missing pulses from the input signal.

Method and apparatus for detection of missing pulses from a pulse train

A method and apparatus for detecting and displaying automotive fuel injector voltage signal pulse width which includes signal detection circuits for capturing the rising and falling edges of an input signal having positive and negative voltage swings is disclosed. Upon detecting a rising edge or a falling edge of a positive or negative voltage of the input signal, a corresponding software routine is executed to carry out the process of measuring the pulse width of a pulse of the input signal. The measured pulse width is then displayed in numerical and/or histogramic formats.

Method and apparatus for detection and acquisition of automotive fuel

Electronic signal measurement apparatus for the acquisition and display of short-duration analog signal events, in the form of a hand-held instrument which includes maximum and minimum signal value detection circuits for capturing the extremes of a rapidly changing analog signal. The captured values are then digitized by an analog-to-digital converter to generate data which can be stored and subsequently displayed in the form of a histogram evidencing the occurrence or lack of occurrence of a particular type of signal event.
