    摘要: Auxiliary information (150) representing binary or multi-level (M≧2) logical values is embedded into successive segments (110) of an audio, video or other data signal in response to a user request to download the data signal via an on-line distributor (350) on a computer network such as the Internet. To avoid unnecessary delays in providing the data signal to the user, the data signal is pre-processed to provide two sets or copies of data (230, 235). One set (230) of the data contains segments with an embedded binary “0”, while the other set (235) contains corresponding segments with an embedded binary “1”. Successive segments are selected from one of the two sets to provide a time-multiplexed composite data signal (230) that has the desired content, but with an embedded binary data sequence that identifies the user.

    摘要: Auxiliary data is carried substantially imperceptibly with video transform data in combined transform samples according to a visibility threshold. The auxiliary data provides a capability for a copy protect scheme or verification of television viewing activity. The video transform samples are extracted from a compressed packetized data stream and normalized if required. The auxiliary data modulates data carrier sequences such as pseudo-noise (PN) spread spectrum signals in different spatial frequencies to provide auxiliary data subband samples, which are in turn combined with the video transform samples in one or more spatial frequencies to provide combined subband samples. The auxiliary data subband samples may be also spectrally shaped according to the video transform samples to improve concealment. The combined transform samples are then multiplexed into the packetized data stream. Full decompression of the video transform samples is not required. In a decoder, the combined transform samples are demodulated to recover the auxiliary data signal.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing after images in motion video display. In the present invention, an intensity scaled image of a previous frame or set of frames is subtracted from the present frame before displaying the present frame. In the exemplary embodiment, the scaling factor is determined by measuring the intensity of the after image for the display device. In a preferred embodiment, the after image reduction system of the present invention takes into account the nonlinearities of the display device. That is the nonlinear relationship between the voltage applied to a display device and the intensity of the resulting display.

    摘要: In an adaptive block size image compression method and system for compressing image data, a respective method and system for further compressing the image data for transmission. Each block and corresponding sub-blocks of pixel data is subjected to a discrete cosine transform (DCT) operation. Varying levels of sub-blocks of resulting corresponding transform coefficients are selected for construction into a composite transform coefficient block corresponding to each input block of pixel data. The selection of transform coefficient block size for the composite block is determined by a comparison process between transform block and sub-block coding efficiency. The composite block is variable length coded to further reduce bit count in the compressed data. A discrete quadtree transform (DQT) operation is in supplement of the adaptive block size block selection with coefficient replacement to optimize image data compression.

    摘要: Low power wireless communication techniques may be employed in devices that communicate via a wireless body area network, a wireless personal area network, or some other type of wireless communication link. In some implementations the devices may communicate via one or more impulse-based ultra-wideband channels. Inter-pulse duty cycling may be employed to reduce the power consumption of a device. Power may be provided for the transmissions and receptions of pulses by charging and discharging a capacitive element according to the inter-pulse duty cycling. Sub-packet data may be transmitted and received via a common frequency band. A cell phone may multicast to two or more peripherals via wireless communication links.
