A communication system may include a plurality of geographically proximate nodes that communicate via one or more range-limited wireless technologies such as BLUETOOTH&#xae; low energy (BLE). An origin node may generate and communicate a first message responsive to detecting an event occurrence. The message may include an identifier associated with the origin node, data indicative of the event occurrence, a hop count, a maximum hop count, and a number of designated recipient nodes within the communication system. A first designated recipient node may, upon receiving the first message, attempt to confirm the event occurrence included in the first message. Upon confirming the event occurrence, the first designated recipient node may communicate a notification to an external third party. If unable to confirm the event occurrence, the first designated recipient node may generate and communicate a second message to a second designated recipient node included in the first message.

Autonomous sharing of data between geographically proximate nodes

Techniques are disclosed that involve providing enhanced user experiences involving the consumption and management of content. For instance, embodiments provide user interface elements that present information regarding content that overcomes barriers or silos between application and platforms. Examples of such user interface elements include a three dimensional carousel, a preview stack, a favorites button, and a My Channel user interface. Also, embodiments may provide techniques for obtaining contextual content. Such techniques include, but are not limited to, zooming mechanisms and combining (or 'mashup') mechanisms.

Presentation of metadata and enhanced entertainment media content

A data processing system includes components for providing a pleasant user experience. Those components may include a family interaction engine that provides a family channel. The family interaction engine may provide for creation of a user group. The family channel may present content of interest to multiple users in the user group. When a user is detected near the data processing system, the family interaction engine may automatically present content of interest to that user. When used for presenting media content, the data processing system may also cause supplemental data to automatically be presented, wherein the supplemental data is relevant to the media content and to a predetermined interest of the user. The data processing system may also provide a ranked list of applications for potential activation by the user. The applications may be ordered based on the current context. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus for facilitating multi-user computer interaction

Techniques are described for the management and presentation of content. In one example a first and a second content item are output. A user selection of an association between the first and the second content item is received and, based on the user selection, contextual content corresponding to the first and second content items is obtained.

Techniques for management and presentation of content

Techniques for the association, customization and automation of content from multiple sources on a single display device are described. A method includes storing an association rule as defined by a user, where the association rule defines a main content source and an associated content source. When the user accesses the main content source, automatically receiving content from the main content source and content from the associated content source as defined by the association rule. Then, causing the display of the associated content overlayed on the main content via a user interface on a display device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for the association, customization and automation of content from multiple sources on a single display

A security system for use on a motor vehicle having a manufacturer's electrical ignition system, wherein the security system comprises electronic means for controlling the security system; a sensing means for sensing tampering; at least one warning means; at least one immobilizing means, wherein the electronic means receives electronic sensor signals from the sensing means and sends electronic activation signals to the warning means and to the immobilizing means; potting means disposed upon the electronic means for excluding moisture, heat and vibration from the electronic means; and a remote-control means for remotely controlling the security system, which remote-control means is resistant to scanning-type interference, and wherein the remote-control means further comprises: a receiving means for receiving radio control signals, and a transmitting means for transmitting a multiplicity of radio control signals, wherein said transmitting means further comprises at least: signals for changing the sensitivity of the sensing means, signals for activating and deactivating the electronic means, and signals for immediate activation of the warning means. The security system wherein the connective means comprises conductive wire with a layer of insulation disposed thereon wherein the insulation is black. The security system wherein the connective means is manufactured to fit the manufacturer's original factory wiring system.
