In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving, on a touch sensitive mat of a computing system, a touch input associated with a first event type. The method further includes determining whether to transform the touch input associated with the first event type to a different event type, and sending, to an application, the touch input associated with an event type based according to the determination.

Transforming received touch input

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include capturing data entered on a touch sensitive mat or on an object physically disposed on the touch sensitive mat. The method further includes extracting the data from the captured image, and developing contextual information from the data extracted from the captured image. The method further includes projecting the contextual information onto the touch sensitive mat or onto the object.

Developing contextual information from an image

An example system, including a projector unit, an all-in-one computer comprising a calibration module and attachable to the projector unit, and a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the all-in-one computer is provided. In addition, the all-in-one computer stores mapping information relating to mappings between the plurality of sensors and the projector unit in a common coordinate system. Further, the calibration module calibrates the plurality of sensors and the projector unit using the mapping information.

Calibration of sensors and projector

A method for creating and using metadata supersets for matching images includes identify images from a first source of images and identify images from a second source of images. Images from the first source that match images from the second source are identified as matching images. Metadata associated with the matching images are extracted to form a superset of metadata for the matching images. The superset of metadata is analyzed to create a product.

Metadata supersets for matching images

A unique identifier on a tag of an object is read. Transactional information relating to the object is recorded and used to encrypt the unique identifier into a code. The code is then written into memory of the tag such that the code records the transactional information.

Recording transactional information relating to an object

A method of optimizing the retrieval of object-associated information may include identifying data associated with an object identification. At least one optimization parameter for the retrieval of data associated with an object identification is also identified. An amount of the associated data for transmission is determined using the at least one optimization parameter.

Optimizing retrieval of object-associated information

Interactive information regarding a product in a package is provided. A unique identifier is received. The unique identifier identifies a package containing a product. Use information is generated based at least partially on stored user information regarding past use of the product.

Providing information regarding a product

A method and an apparatus for achieving a tailored content response based upon a product identifier coupled with a user identifier are provided. In one method embodiment, the present invention receives a machine readable indicia wherein at least a first portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the product identifier and at least a second portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the user identifier. Next, a product associated with the product identifier is identified in a database, wherein the database is not required to be formatted according to an extrinsic product identification standard. Moreover, a user profile associated with the user identifier is identified, the user profile comprising context information for the user. A tailored content response is then compiled for the device based upon the product and the context information.

A method and an apparatus for achieving a tailored content response based upon a product identifier coupled with a user identifier and a device identifier are provided. In one method embodiment, the present invention receives a machine readable indicia wherein at least a first portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the product identifier, at least a second portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the user identifier and at least a third portion of the machine readable indicia pertains to the device identifier. Next, a product associated with the product identifier is identified in a database not required to be formatted according to an extrinsic product identification standard. Moreover, a user profile and device profile associated with the user identifier and device identifier is identified. A tailored content response is then compiled for the device based upon the product and context information.

An aspect of the present invention is a method of monitoring a package. The method includes mounting a transponder on the package, the transponder having at least two signal transmission devices and emitting a first output signal configuration on the signal transmission devices when the integrity of the package is intact and emitting a second output signal configuration on the signal transmission devices if the integrity of the package has been compromised.

A computer program which causes a computer to correct a uniform resource identifier (URI) in a noisy source document. The program finds and corrects potential errors within a URI before turning the URI into a hyperlink. Testing the corrected URI is done by seeking the resource described by the corrected URI. Testing the URI also includes parsing the URI, identifying potential syntax errors within each portion of the URI, creating alternative URI combinations, and prioritizing the alternative URI combinations. Syntax errors corrected include incorrect protocol, incorrect or missing component separator characters, incorrect spacing, incorrect or missing dot character, and alphanumeric character replacement.
