A chair system including a main unit and an untethered chair is provided. The main unit includes a wireless transmitter, a subwoofer, an audio stream receiver and a processor. The untethered chair includes a plurality of speakers, a power source and a wireless receiver for receiving a processed audio stream from the main unit.

Chair system with an untethered chair with speakers

An audio rendering system includes a processor that combines audio input signals with personalized spatial audio transfer functions preferably including room responses. The personalized spatial audio transfer functions are selected from a database having a plurality of candidate transfer function datasets derived from in-ear microphone measurements for a plurality of individuals. Alternatively, the personalized transfer function datasets are derived from actual in-ear measurements of the listener. Foreground and background positions are designated and matched with transfer function pairs from the selected dataset for the foreground and background direction and distance. Two channels of input audio such as voice and music are processed. When a voice communication such as a phone call is accepted the music being rendered is moved from a foreground to a background channel corresponding to a background spatial audio position using the personalized transfer functions. The voice call is simultaneously transferred to the foreground channel.

Spatial repositioning of multiple audio streams

A jackpot machine with surround audio is provided. The jackpot machine includes a processor to process at least one audio to generate at least one 3D surround audio, a sending means to send the generated at least one 3D surround audio to a headphone worn by a player, and a display showing at least one graphical representation of a prize. The at least one graphical representation of the prize is associated with the at least one audio, and is perceived by the player to audibly and visually move around the player in accordance with the generated at least one 3D surround audio and the at least one graphical representation of the prize shown on the display respectively.

There is provided a method and system for managing electronic messages in a closed network. Both the method and system include determining a quantity of credits to be expended for a transmission of each electronic message from a device in the closed network; and deducting the quantity of credits from a sender's account at a central credit repository. Preferably, the quantity of credits to be expended is dependent on an identity of a recipient of the electronic message. The identity of the recipient of the electronic message may preferably be associated with the recipient's position in an organizational hierarchy.

Method and system for managing electronic messages in a closed network

A method of processing which can include receiving input signals from a plurality of sources, data mining the input signals, interpreting the mined data, optionally providing a set of settings and processing the input signals based on the interpretation of the mined data and, optionally, the set of settings to produce output signals. The input signals can be data mined to identify one or both of unique characteristics and attributes associable with the input signals. The mined data can be interpreted in a manner so as to form association based on one or both of the unique characteristics and attributes. The output signals can correspond to adaptably altered input signals which can be associated with adaptable alteration of one or both of visual perception and audio perception of the input signals.

System suitable for one or both of audio processing and graphics processing and a method of processing in association therewith

System, device, and method for audio reproduction are provided. The system includes a media computing device and an electronic device connected such that their speakers can be used in combination in optimizing the audio reproduction of media being played or streamed. Each device can be portable and the audio reproduction can include virtual/spatial/surround audio reproduction. When connecting, the media computing device serves as a host and the electronic device serves as a slave for data communication. As such, the media computing device can process an audio signal into any portion for reproduction on any speaker. Further, when connecting and if needed, the electronic device serves as a host and the media computing device serves as a slave for power management. Depending on the system configuration, a suitable connection can be made via a wireless or single cable wired connection between the media computing device and the electronic device.

System, method, and device for audio reproduction

There is provided a method for creating a stereoscopic image sequence. The method can include capturing a sequence of static images and forming a plurality of image pairs. Each image pair can include a first image and a second image selected from the sequence of static images. Selection of the first image can be done in a manner so that the image pairs are formed a spatially coherent manner. The stereoscopic image sequence can be created based on the image pairs. Creating the stereoscopic image sequence can, for example, relate to producing a stereoscopic video.

Method for creating a stereoscopic image sequence

A method for dynamically changing a fundamental attribute of an object in a game played using a system is provided. The system can include a system directory which includes a system file and a plurality of system layers including a transmit layer and a receive layer. Data signals are communicable from the transmit layer to the receive layer. The method can include identifying the object, the fundamental attribute of the object being associable with the system file when data signals communicated from the transmit layer are processed at the receive layer based on the system file. The method can further include inserting a configuration file to the system directory. The method can yet further include intercepting communication between the transmit layer and the receive layer so that the fundamental attribute of the identified object is modified based on the configuration file.

System and method of processing for flexible interception of communication between system layers

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device can include one or more protrusions and a casing. The casing can be shaped and dimensioned to carry the audio output portions. The casing can include a first face, a second face and sides. The one or more protrusions can extend from any of, or any combination of, the first face, the second face and at least one of the sides.

Electronic device

A method and an apparatus for producing a coded graphic representation. The method includes providing a graphic array and processing at least a portion of the graphic array. A graphic array can be provided such that an array of graphic indications which includes a plurality of graphic indication pairs can be provided. Each of the plurality of graphic indication pair can have at least a first graphic element and a second graphic element. The first and second graphic element can be spaced apart such that each of the plurality of graphic indication pairs can be associated with an element pitch. The element pitches of the plurality of graphic indication pairs can be substantially similar. At least a portion of the graphic array can be processed by displacing at least one graphic indication pair in the plurality of graphic indication pairs such that at least one element pitch is deviated.

Method and an apparatus for facilitating efficient information coding

There are provided methods and a system for visually representing a rate of writing a plurality of identical Chinese characters for at least one user on a first portion of a display, with the visual representation having both a discrete movement component and a rate of activity component.
