    摘要: Non-linguistic signal information relating to one or more participants to an interaction may be determined using communication data received from the one or more participants. Feedback can be provided based on the determined non-linguistic signals. The participants may be given an opportunity to opt in to having their non-linguistic signal information collected, and may be provided complete control over how their information is shared or used.

    摘要: A method and system including an improved generalized reference decoder that operates according to any number of sets of rate and buffer parameters for a given bit stream. Each set characterizes a leaky bucket model and contains three parameters representing the transmission bit rate, buffer size, and initial decoder buffer fullness. An encoder provides at least two sets of these parameters, whereby the decoder selects one or interpolates between them to operate at any desired peak bit rate, buffer size or delay. The generalized reference decoder may select the smallest buffer size and corresponding delay that decodes the bit stream without buffer underflow or overflow, or alternatively may select and operate at the minimum required peak transmission rate, or something between both. In practice, the buffer size, delay and/or the peak transmission rate can be reduced by significant factors, and/or the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be increased.

    摘要: Real-time packet-based audio communications over packet-based networks frequently results in the loss of one or more packets during any given communication session. The real-time nature of such communications precludes retransmission of lost packets due to the unacceptable delays that would result. Consequently, packet loss concealment methods are employed to “hide” lost packets from the listener. Unfortunately, conventional loss concealment methods, such as packet repetition or stretch/overlap methods, do not fully exploit information available from partially received samples. Therefore, when a single frame of N coefficients is lost, 2N samples are only partially reconstructed, thereby degrading the reconstructed signal. To address this problem, an optimized packet loss concealment solution is identified for particular lost packets by solving an underdetermined system of linear equations representing partially received samples while minimizing a computed error based on a model of the signal obtained from neighboring blocks or frames received by the decoder.

    摘要: An overlay network and scheme for building and using the overlay network are described. As the overlay network is built, new nodes joining the network are connected randomly with other nodes which results in a random graph as the network topology. The network is fully scalable, with each new node providing the same number of network connections for output to other nodes as it consumes when it joins the network. In addition, network coding is implemented at each node to mix packets of data entering each node using random linear functions. The network coding at each node generates new packets that are independent combinations of original data packets entering the node. The new coded packets make the distribution of data to other nodes more efficient and robust.

    摘要: A media recommendation and sharing technique that employs agents on media players/devices to expand the scope of media sharing scenarios. The technique assists a user in discovering media items, such as, for example, music, recordings, play lists, pictures, video games, on nearby media players or devices (devices which are capable of receiving, storing and playing media) which are interesting to the user. The collaborative media recommendation and sharing technique contemporaneously determines a user's media preferences based on media stored on a pair of media devices and recommends media for potential sharing based on these determined user preferences.

    摘要: A “Media Transmission Optimizer” provides a media transmission optimization framework for lossy or bursty networks such as the Internet. This optimization framework provides a novel form of dynamic Forward Error Correction (FEC) that focuses on the perceived quality of a recovered media signal rather than on the absolute accuracy of the recovered media signal. In general, the Media Transmission Optimizer provides an encoder that optimizes the transmission of redundant frames of electronic media information encoded at different bit rates, and provides optimized playback quality by providing a decoder that automatically selects an optimal path through one or more available representations of each frame as a function of overall rate/distortion criteria.
