Номер: RU2620716C2

Группа изобретений относится к средствам синхронизации хода воспроизведения мультимедиа. Технический результат – обеспечение возможности синхронизации воспроизведения мультимедийного контента. Для этого предложены способ и устройство для синхронизации воспроизведения мультимедийного контента группой платформ клиентских устройств. Для синхронного воспроизведения синхронизатор может вносить корректировки в режимы воспроизведения одной или более платформ клиентских устройств в пределах группы, просматривающей один и тот же мультимедийный контент. В случае если платформа клиентского устройства отстает от группы, режим воспроизведения данной платформы может быть изменен на режим ускоренного воспроизведения. В случае если платформа клиентского устройства опережает группу, режим воспроизведения данной платформы может быть изменен на режим замедленного воспроизведения. 3 н. и 31 з.п. ф-лы, 7 ил.

There is disclosed a technique for displaying, without any troubles, image signals at a splice between scenes, precluding images from being frozen even in a case of discontinuation of time information, such as a case of scene transition. According to this technique, an image encoding part (1041) performs intra-frame encoding and inter-frame prediction encoding of image signals to produce image encoded data. A time information (PCR) generating part (10461) generates time information to be multiplexed in a transport stream. Identification information (scene transition information) generating part (10462) generates identification information indicative of discontinuation of time information when the continuation of the time information to be multiplexed in the transport stream is lost. A multiplexing part (1047) multiplexes the image encoded data, time information and identification information to output them as the transport stream.

Segmentation may involve obtaining a reference frame (i.e. background of previous video frame), which is then subtracted from each frame of video. The reference frame may be updated periodically to account for changes in illumination (i.e. due to daylight). Encryption keys may be stored in second storage module (Fig. 1; 108). The system may comprise verification module (Fig. 4; 410) for calculating unique verification markers, which may comprise a hash, for each of foreground and background data. The system may comprise access module with three different levels of encryption access ...

Preferably, these isochronous data packets make up frames of video data. From these dummy packets, the application obtains the time stamp values within the common isochronous packet (CIP) header of each packet. Using these obtained time stamp values, the application calculates a presentation time value for each data frame to be transmitted. The obtained time stamp value from a transmitted video frame is used to calculate the presentation time for a video frame which is a number of frames ahead within the transmit queue. Once the presentation time value for a frame is calculated, that value is then inserted by the application into the CIP header for the first packet within that frame and the frame is sent ...

By contrast, if the device relies solely on a rechargeable battery for power, then the keep-alive interval may be set to a longer duration, thereby reducing the rate at which the rechargeable battery will be discharged. And, if the device is connected to an intermittent source of power, such as a solar panel, then the keep-alive interval may be set to a moderate duration to balance the competing interests of reducing latency and conserving battery life.

A videoconferencing system provides sharing program content during a videoconferencing session. A graphical user interface (GUI) allows participants to select a program to be shared and participants to share the selected program with. A scheduler communicates with the videoconferencing systems of the participants to tune or configure them to receive the selected shared program content at a scheduled time. The scheduler also communicates with a multipoint control unit (MCU) for initiating a videoconferencing session between the participants. The videoconferencing system combines mixed video streams received from the MCU with the program stream of the selected shared program and displays the combined stream on the display device. The scheduler can be located at a program service provider or at the initiating participant's videoconferencing system.

A correlation-based system for watermarking continuous digital media at the system application level. It is a post-compression process for watermarking where no a priori knowledge of the underlying compression algorithm is required. Per each compressed media frame, a current unique digital signature is generated based on the data from the current compressed frame plus the digital signature that has been previously generated. The signature thus generated is then used in conjunction with the next compressed frame to generate the next unique digital signature. All digital signatures are correlated according to the above process until a “reset” signal is issued. A new chain of correlated digital signatures is produced by the system with a pre-determined initial signature.

Memory management in event recording systems

Номер: US20140098228A1
Автор: James Plante
Принадлежит: SmartDrive Systems Inc

A vehicle event recorder is provided that includes a camera for capturing a video as discrete image frames, and that further includes a managed loop memory and a management system for generating a virtual ‘timeline dilation’ effect. To overcome size limits in the buffer memory of the video event recorder, the maximum time extension of a video series is increased by enabling a reduction in temporal resolution in exchange for an increase in the temporal extension. Memory cells are overwritten in an ‘interleaved’ fashion to produce a reduced frame rate for the recording of certain time periods connected to an event moment. In time periods furthest from the event moment, the resulting frame rate is minimized while in time periods closest to the event moment, the resulting frame rate is maximized.

Analytic maps may be used to develop and refine law enforcement strategies. Initially, the data assets and associated telemetry information of media recording devices may be stored in a primary database. The data assets include an audio recording, a video recording, or a multimedia recording. The associated telemetry information includes geolocations of the media recording devices at multiple times. References to the data assets and duplicate of the associated telemetry information are stored in a secondary database, in which the secondary database may provide faster data read speed than the primary database. Pre-calculations are performed based at least on the telemetry information as stored in the secondary database according to one or more mapping parameters to generate multiple sets of pre-calculated data. A set of pre-calculated data is then sent for presentation on an analytic map of a dashboard displayed on a remote computing device.

A remote control device used by a viewer to control content being displayed on a separate display device outputs content in response to instructing the device providing content to the separate display device to begin fast forwarding. The viewer of the separate display device may then be exposed to the content being output by the remote control device while the content to the separate display device is fast forwarding. Thus, the viewer may better perceive the content being output by the remote control device than the content being fast forwarded on the separate display device. The outputting of content may be by the remote control device providing video, a static display, and/or audio. Upon the remote control device instructing the fast forwarding at the display device to stop and return to a play mode, the remote control device terminates the outputting of the content from the remote control device. 1.
