Yes,
intelligent robots will soon be your next traveling companions.
They will show you movies, play music for you, help you
write a business plan, book your next vacation, and that’s
only the beginning…
DANBURY,
CT: RollingDigital announced today that Walt Runkis,
the company's CEO, recently filed a landmark patent in on
a novel invention called TravelingMultimedia™.
This new technology will inexpensively deliver a
robust suite of business services, plus over 1,000 movies,
documentaries, music videos, cartoons and educational programs
to business and vacation travelers—all on demand. That’s
right, everything starts when you want it to. From now on,
you’re in charge. And not only that, with TravelingMultimedia
you can begin watching a movie on a flight from New York
to Chicago, pause it, change planes or even airlines, and
finish watching it on your connecting flight to San Francisco.
You can even set it aside to watch later in the comfort
of your hotel room, or pick it up from where you left off
during your return flight home. That’s because it travels
with you, or at least it appears to.
At
the heart of this system is an intelligent appliance known
as the Programmable Autonomous Network Object, or PANO™
for short. “A global network, populated by PANOs, works
something like a cell phone system for computers,” explains
its inventor. PANOs will be distributed throughout the United
States and around the world. They provide a globally distributed
network of service zones that make it possible for travelers
to do most of the things they would normally do at home
or at the office. Best of all, travelers won’t have to drag
along bulky laptop computers to use the system. Custom-designed
terminals, called LinkPorts™,
are provided for every passenger as part of RollingDigital's
commitment to serving the mobile computing needs of all
travelers.
Walt
continued by saying, “This invention is more than just a
hot new technology. Of course, it's novel; that's why it's
patentable. But this technology is only the means to an
end. Its true importance arises from its ability to provide
transient computer users with global access to rich media,
and it accomplishes this mission without consuming the enormous
amount of bandwidth that would normally be required using
conventional IT wisdom. Furthermore, this philosophy of
near-zero WAN-bandwidth usage makes RollingDigital's business
and entertainment services extremely economical. And since
TravelingMultimedia was designed as a consumer-centric service
model, travelers using it will feel like they never have
to leave their homes or offices behind. Too many companies,
today, run on business models that serve themselves first
and consumers last. The best kept secret for success in
business is no different, now, than it ever was—give the
people what they want, and don’t charge them an arm and
a leg to get it. It’s really that simple."
Walt
couldn’t reveal many details about how RollingDigital's
new mobile multimedia system works, since it is the subject
of a patent application, but he did say it is compatible
with existing inflight Internet access offerings from Tenzing
Communications, Inter-Touch™
and Connexion by Boeing™.
