Abstract: The invention provides a system and method that transforms a set of still/motion media (i.e., a series of related or unrelated still frames, web-pages rendered as images, or video clips) or other multimedia, into a video stream that is suitable for delivery over a display medium, such as TV, cable TV, computer displays, wireless display devices, etc. The video data stream may be presented and displayed in real time or stored and later presented through a set-top box, for example. Because these media are transformed into coded video streams (e.g. MPEG-2, MPEG-4, etc.), a user can watch them on a display screen without the need to connect to the Internet through a service provider. The user may request and interact with the desired media through a simple telephone interface, for example. Moreover, several wireless and cable-based services can be developed on the top of this system. In one possible embodiment, the system for generating a coded video sequence may include an input unit that receives the multimedia input and extracts image data, and derives the virtual camera scripts and coding hints from the image data, a video sequence generator that generates a video sequence based on the extracted image data and the derived virtual camera scripts and coding hints, and a video encoder that encodes the generated video sequence using the coding hints and outputs the coded video sequence to an output device. The system may also provide customized video sequence generation services to subscribers.

Abstract: The present solution addresses the displaying of multiple levels of information in a constrained display footprint in a manner that allows a user to be vigilant over the information. Systems and methods are described herein for organizing data and information queries against data sources in a relational display with hierarchical grids, linked to query results, score displays, and alert monitoring. In an embodiment of the present solution, a system allows an analyst to view results and status from monitoring numerous and persistent queries against real-time data streams. Many of these queries may be inter-related and composed in a way to comprehensively analyze a problem. To display, monitor, and interact with a collection of queries, the present solution provides a relational display that makes use of a set of grids via a feature referred to as “grid of grids”. The grids may be arranged in a hierarchy of any number of levels. For example, the grids may be arranged as a directed acyclic graph to facilitate nesting of grids, in which the grids are expanded according to the complexity and levels of granularity in the decomposition of queries for a problem or domain of interest.

Abstract translation: 本解决方案以允许用户对信息警惕的方式解决在受限显示占用空间中显示多个级别的信息。 本文描述了系统和方法，用于组织针对与分层网格的关系显示中的数据源的数据和信息查询，链接到查询结果，分数显示和警报监视。 在本解决方案的一个实施例中，系统允许分析者从实时数据流监视多个持续查询来查看结果和状态。 这些查询中的许多可能是相互关联的，并以一种全面分析问题的方式组成。 为了显示，监视和与一组查询进行交互，本解决方案提供了一种关系显示，通过被称为“网格格网”的特征使用一组网格。 网格可以以任何级别的层次结构排列。 例如，网格可以被布置为有向非循环图，以便于网格的嵌套，其中根据对于问题或感兴趣的领域的查询的分解的复杂性和粒度级别来扩展网格。
