摘要:
Assisted peer-to-peer media streaming. A first connection to at least one peer of a peer-to-peer network is initiated for receiving media content from the peer-to-peer network. Responsive to a disruption of delivery of the media content over the first connection from the peer, the media content is received over a second connection with a data source, wherein the data source comprises the media content.
摘要:
A compression and transmission method and system for use to communicate information from a first device to a second device in a network of devices. First, the first device receives information to be communicated to the second device. Second, the first device compresses the information to be communicated by employing prior information of the first device and prior information of the second device. The compressed information is then transmitted to the second device.
摘要:
Content can be sent to a device that can render the content. The rendered content changes as a function of time. Rating values associated with the content can be sent to the device. The rating values represent at least one person's opinion of the content. The rating values are displayed and correspond to different moments in the content.
摘要:
An image is compressed by selectively performing at least one of palettization and interframe coding on certain regions of the image. The regions are adaptively determined.
摘要:
At least one camera lens captures a field of view comprising at least one object of interest, wherein the at least one camera lens is configured for extending the field of view in at least one direction. The at least one object of interest that is within said field of view is detected. Then, an image of a detected at least one object of interest is warped to fit within the field of view. A plurality of pixels surrounding the image of the detected at least one object of interest within the field of view is cropped such that, based on the warping and the cropping, the detected at least one object appears as centered within the field of view.
摘要:
A synchronization relationship determiner comprising an input visual information signal receiver configured to receive an input visual information signal, and a capture signal receiver configured to receive a capture signal generated by a capture device. The synchronization relationship determiner is configured to determine a synchronization relationship between the input visual information signal and the capture signal. The synchronization relationship determination is signal based.
摘要:
Methods and systems thereof for streaming media data are described. Media data comprising a plurality of data packets is accessed. The media data includes encrypted data. Information that quantifies a characteristic of each data packet in the plurality of data packets is also accessed. That information is used to determine an order for sending the data packets over a network. The order is determined without decrypting the encrypted data.
摘要:
Systems and methods for multiple level control of access privileges to protected media content are disclosed. In one embodiment, first data is associated with media content. Different versions of the media content are produced using the first data. Each of the different versions include one or more portions of the media content. The one or more portions are selected using the first data. Second data is associated with the different versions. The second data identifies respective protection attributes used to encrypt the different versions. The respective protection attributes correspond to respective keys that provide respective levels of access to the media content.
摘要:
Methods and systems thereof for streaming data are described. Information that quantifies a characteristic associated with a frame in a sequence comprising a plurality of frames of video data is accessed. The information is used to make a decision about the transmission of the frames, such as the order for sending the frames or whether or not to send a frame.
