An Aerial Robotics Network (ARN) Management Infrastructure (MI) (also referred to as ARNMI) that provides a mechanism for the management of aerobots.

Aerial robotics network management infrastructure

Methods and apparatus for managing display elements such as GUI windows in a client device (e.g., consumer premises equipment in a cable network) running multiple related or unrelated applications. In one embodiment, an improved window management entity is provided within the device with which HAVi-compliant application(s) can interface in order to access display elements according to a priority structure or hierarchy. One or more privileged applications are designated and allowed to affect the priority structure, including requesting a new in-focus application to be placed atop the priority structure. The network operator can also optionally control the operation of the window manager remotely via a network agent. Improved client device and network configurations, as well as methods of operating these systems, are also disclosed.

Methods and apparatus for display element management in an information network

Systems described herein allow for placement and presentation of virtual objects using mobile devices with a single camera lens. A device receives, from a first mobile device, a target image captured from a camera and target image data collected contemporaneously with the target image. The target image data includes a geographic location, a direction heading, and a tilt. The device receives, from the first mobile device, a first virtual object definition that includes an object type, a size, and a mobile device orientation for presenting a first virtual object within a video feed. The device generates a simplified model of the target image, and stores the first virtual object definition associated with the target image data and the simplified model of the target image. The device uploads the first virtual object definition and the target image data, so the first virtual object is discoverable by a second mobile device.
