Filed:

Sep 7, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/852064

Inventors:

James C. Oliverio - Gainesville FL, US
Andrew M. Quay - Gainesville FL, US
Joella A. Wilson - Gainesville FL, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/12

US Classification:

713401

Abstract:

A method for synchronizing performances of geographically disparate performers is provided. The method includes setting one or more beat clocks, each beat clock corresponding to a remotes site configured to convey streaming audio over a data communications network to a remotely-located master site. Each beat clock, according to the method, is time-shifted based upon delay and throughput latencies relative to a current-beat time set at the master site. The method further includes receiving at the master site audio renderings of performances by the one or more performers located each remote site.Additionally, when combined with various types of digital media devices, the techniques, mechanisms, and procedure of the invention can create a virtual online media environment. The online media environment can support the composition, performance, recording and playback of multiple live video images, the composite positioning of said multiple live video images, the dynamic visual and aural display of the status of underlying data systems employed in the creating and operating said virtual online media environment, and the real-time user-customizable composite view of each.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715700000

Abstract:

An integrated situational awareness system is provided. The system includes an interactive media system having an operator interface, a decision-maker interface, and a correlation system in electronic communication with the interactive media system. The correlation system receives, processes, and integrates data received from a plurality of data sources. The interactive media system and correlation system cooperatively function to enable an operator using the operator interface to initiate a plurality of pre-programmed processes that run until the correlation system detects a pre-specified trigger event. In response to an occurrence of the pre-specified trigger event, the correlation system causes a report to be presented via the interactive media system. Through the operator interface the operator controls presentment of situational awareness data to one or more decision makers and through the decision-maker interface one or more decision maker can specify, demonstrate and make known their questions, wishes and decisions.
