A method for producing a customized print includes determining a color of at least one feature of an object, where the object is imaged with a reference color chart. A color palette is selected based on the at least one determined feature color and a print is generated based on the selected color palette. A system for producing a customized print is also described.

Methods and systems thereof for monitoring the performance of a streaming media server are described. Server-side measurements are performed with the server operating under a load. Client-side measurements are performed along with the server-side measurements. Data from the server-side measurements and data from the client-side measurements are aligned by time.

Monitoring the performance of a streaming media server using server-side and client-side measurements

A method for selecting a color palette includes receiving a feature from an image of an object and a reference color chart, calculating a transform to correct a color in the imaged reference color chart, correcting a color in the feature using the transform, and selecting a color palette based on the corrected feature color. The reference color chart includes reference colors, and the transform corrects the color in the imaged reference color chart to substantially equal a corresponding reference color. An apparatus for selecting a color palette is also described.

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

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for dynamic color correction of an imaged object. According to one embodiment, an image containing an object and color chart is received. The color chart includes a range of color values, while at least one feature and an associated correctable color value is determined from the imaged object. Furthermore, a target color value substantially corresponding to the correctable color value is identified. Based on the identified target color value, the correctable color value associated with the feature is then corrected.

Method and system for dynamic color correction

A method of grouping a plurality of media content is provided. The method includes converting at least a portion of the media content into at least one document object model ('DOM') using a processor. The DOM can include a plurality of block elements, each comprising at least one content object. The method includes apportioning the content objects into a relevant portion and an irrelevant portion and extracting a set of keywords, the set comprising at least one keyword, within the relevant portion of the content objects. The method includes apportioning the relevant portion of the content objects into a related portion and an unrelated portion using at least a portion of the set of keywords and grouping the related portion of the content to provide a group of related content.

Content grouping systems and methods

A method of delivering content in a network, comprising receiving introductory segments of high user-activity content, and storing the introductory segments of high user-activity content prior to receiving a request for this high user-activity content from an end-user.

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 data service system in a data access network system is described. The data service system includes a content server that stores content files for access by external access requests. Each of the content files is stored in a full content format and an adapted or degraded content format which is less resource-intensive to serve than the full content format. The data service system also includes an adaptive load control system which is coupled to the content server to pass the access requests to the content server. The adaptive load control system modifies an access request to access the corresponding content file in the adapted content format when the content server is in an overload condition such that the content server can be maintained at safe load conditions. A method of maintaining the content server at safe load conditions is also described.

Method and system for maintaining a content server at safe load conditions

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 for clustering data streams. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for clustering data streams for use in a virtual environment. The embodiment of the method begins by determining a cluster of receiving nodes in the virtual environment. Each of the cluster of receiving nodes have associated values for at least one clustering parameter that as a set satisfies a test. Then, the embodiment continues by generating a common data stream based on the clustering parameter. Thereafter, the embodiment sends the common data stream from a sending node to the cluster of receiving nodes.
