摘要： In order to enhance visual representation of an advertisement within a video game optical characteristics of the advertisement are specified. Specifically, downloaded data corresponding to an advertisement is used to provide an advertising image within a virtual environment of a video game. The advertising image is displayed having a portion that appears to be at least one of transmissive and reflective. In this way, advertisements are displayed in a fashion consistent with the appearance of a corresponding advertisement in the real world.

摘要： The invention relates to a user interface, and method of providing three dimensional presentations of material for improved user understanding. Further the invention allows users to manipulate the direction of the presentation dynamically from within the three dimensional presentation and to transition from one section of a presentation to another by object selection within the three dimensional presentation. The invention achieves this by providing a three dimensional virtual environment comprising firstly the presentation itself, and second objects relating locations within the three dimensional virtual environment to transitions from one region of the presentation to another region of the presentation.

摘要： A method of managing knowledge within an organization includes defining a three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization, including interconnections between organizational elements of the organization in three dimensions. The three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization includes first data relating to knowledge that is associated with a first organizational element. In particular, the first data is stored such that the first data is correlated with the three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization. Second data associated with a knowledge requirement is mapped onto the three-dimensional data visualization structure of the organization, and the mapped second data is processed according to a known set of rules. When the mapped second data correlates with the first data, an indication is provided relating to one of the first organizational element and the first data itself.

摘要： A method for cataloging and populating advertising spots of an advertising enabled game includes using a catalog to select an advertising-spot of the advertising enabled game. For instance, the catalog is a catalog of itemized advertising spots for the advertising enabled game. An image is displayed including the selected advertising spot, in the context of the advertising enabled game. Advertising content is inserted into the image at the selected advertising spot, so as to produce a preview image that is representative of the advertising content when being displayed at the selected advertising spot during actual game play.

摘要： A variety of processes for certifying the reporting of advertising impressions provided via video games are described. These certification processes optionally take advantage of automated techniques for verifying that when advertising data is provided a corresponding advertisement is provided within the video game. In addition, as software patches are often provided for video games, a recommended process for certifying patched software is also described. Reporting data associated with advertising impressions provided from uncertified video games is considered suspect and optionally discarded.

摘要： A method is disclosed where an e-book lending library is provided. The lending library includes data relating a plurality of e-books. A first e-book from the plurality of e-books is loaned to a user for a predetermined finite period of time, which comprises transmitting to an electronic device associated with the user, via a communications network, the first e-book including a lending license therefore. Upon expiration of the predetermined finite period of time, data is received from the electronic device relating to the user's reading history of the first e-book. The user's reading progress through the first e-book is determined automatically based on the data. When it is determined that the user has other than finished reading the first e-book, a signal is transmitted to the electronic device via the communication network, the signal comprising an offer to sell to the user the first e-book via the e-book lending library.

摘要： Improved techniques and apparatus for managing data between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a client device. The data being managed can, for example, pertain to portable computer programs, such as widgets. The managing of the data thus can involve transfer of portable computer programs (e.g., widgets) between the host device and the client device. In one embodiment, the transfer of portable computer programs between a host device and a client device can be referred to as synchronization.
