摘要： A transport control, e.g., for use with an audio content playing device, the transport control for initiating play of dynamically rendered audio content selections that are rarely, if ever, played the same way twice is provided. The transport control includes a play indicator, e.g., a play button or the like, and a control indicator, for instance, a rotatable knob. The control indicator is linearly mapped to an interactive music engine having a plurality of component engines, each of which is controlled by the control indicator. Accordingly, the control indicator is referred to herein as a “multi-purpose” indicator. Upon altering this single multi-purpose control indicator, multiple components and music elements of the output can be affected. Thus, a transport control that permits a user to initiate play of dynamically rendered music selections with little input and/or decision-making is also provided.

摘要： A system for collecting and aggregating data from network entities for a data consuming application is described. The system includes a data collector layer to receive network flow information from the network entities and to produce records based on the information. The system also includes a flow aggregation layer fed from the data collection layer and coupled to a storage device. The flow aggregation layer receiving records produced by the data collector layer and aggregates received records. The system can also include an equipment interface layer coupled to the data collector layer and a distribution layer to obtain selected information stored in the storage device and to distribute the select information to a requesting, data consuming application.

摘要： Rich device metadata describing detailed attributes of peripheral devices can be used to provide device-oriented user interfaces for realistically and accurately displaying, visualizing, controlling or managing devices. Vendors of personal computers, electronics devices, or peripheral devices can provide standardized rich device metadata. An intermediary service or system can, via a network, collect the rich device metadata, validate it, and store it. User computers to which peripheral devices are connected can pull rich device metadata for their peripheral devices. The rich device metadata can then be used to manage the devices and/or to provide more realistic virtualizations of the peripheral devices. Realistic representations of the devices can be displayed. Attributes such as controls and connectors on the device can be represented in the metadata and displayed and possibly interacted with. Devices can be nested in the metadata. Rich device metadata can be extended over time. If a user does not know exactly which device is connected then a fuzzy search including possibly a fuzzy image matching process can be used to obtain a match or narrow a search to contain a list of possible devices that the user can select from.

摘要： The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates management and navigation of various data objects by making use of a unique time-line based navigation tool. In particular, objects can organized into a plurality of bands based on their respective subject matter. Each band can be created to designate a particular topic. Objects are organized within the appropriate bands based in part on a time parameter such as a time or date that the object was created, for example. The navigation tool allows a user to navigate or browse through the bands and objects according to a desired time parameter or range of time. Zooming and other browsing options are available to the user to view objects of interest at varying levels of detail. The objects are represented as ASCII thumbnails that are operational. Thus, the content of any object can be modified directly via the thumbnail.

摘要： A volume control may be provided with some integrated graphical indication of the presence and/or level of an audio signal that it controls. For example, a slider-type volume control may be provided with a signal meter within the slider itself. A volume control may be provided with a mechanism for showing the non-mute volume control level of a volume when the volume control is muted. For example, a slider-type volume control may display a ghosted slider tab at the level of volume control in effect before muting while at the same time displaying a regular slider tab at a muted level. A user may be able to glance at a volume control and quickly and intuitively understand aspects of the volume control's state such as the level and condition of the signal that is flowing through or blocked by (if muted) the control.
