A system () for enabling a user to select media content in an entertainment environment, comprising a remote control device () having a set of user-activated keys and a speech activation circuit adapted to enable a speech signal; a speech engine () comprising a speech recognizer (); an application wrapper () configured to recognize substantive meaning in the speech signal; and a media content controller () configured to select media content. Every function that can be executed by activation of the user-activated keys can also be executed by the speech engine () in response to the recognized substantive meaning.

Speech interface

A global speech user interface (GSUI) comprises an input system to receive a user's spoken command, a feedback system along with a set of feedback overlays to give the user information on the progress of his spoken requests, a set of visual cues on the television screen to help the user understand what he can say, a help system, and a model for navigation among applications. The interface is extensible to make it easy to add new applications.

Global speech user interface

The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods and systems for intelligent task management. An example method may include identifying one or more authorized entities. The method may further include broadcasting at least one task associated with a user to one or more devices associated with the one or more authorized entities. The method may further include receiving from the one or more authorized entities, via the one or more devices, an indication of acceptance of the at least one task. The method may further include selecting at least one trusted entity among the one or more authorized entities. The method may further include issuing at least one digital certificate to the at least one trusted entity to perform the at least one task.

Intelligent task assignment and authorization systems and methods

Systems and methods for generating incentive offers for road use are provider. Incentive offers may be generated by a service provider server. The incentive offers may be generated identifying, by the computer having at least one processor, at least one use-condition associated with a transit point based at least in part on historical transit data. The generating the incentive offers may include generating one or more offers for a plurality of toll collections passes configured to enable the at least one use-condition associated with the transit point. Further, the method may provide for facilitating a distribution for the one or more incentive offers to a use group.

Systems and methods for generation of incentive offers for on-road users

The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods and systems for intelligent route planning. An example method may include receiving, by a computation system comprising one or more processors, one or more tasks. The one or more tasks may be associated with one or more locations. The method may further include storing, by the computation system, the one or more tasks. The method may further include receiving, by the computation system, current location information associated with a user. The method may further include generating, by the computation system, based upon the one or more tasks and the current location information, one or more notifications associated with at least one task for presentation to the user.

Intelligent route planning

Various system and method for creating profiles of fuel quality are described herein. A system to create profiles of fuel quality comprises a receiving module arranged to receive vehicle performance data of a vehicle, the vehicle performance data describing the vehicle's performance over a time period; an association module arranged to associate the vehicle performance data with fuel used by the vehicle during the time period; an analysis module arranged to analyze the vehicle performance data with respect to the fuel to calculate a performance metric of the fuel; and a storage module arrranged to store the performance metric in a performance database at the computing system.

System and method for creating profile of fuel quality

In some embodiments a detector is to detect a body of a user. A controller is to determine an area of focus of the user in response to the detector, and to dim a portion of a display that is not in the area of focus. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
