摘要： A system for automatically tracking movement of a user participating in a video chat application executing in a computing device is disclosed. A capture device connected to the computing device captures a user in a field of view of the capture device and identifies a sub-frame of pixels identifying a position of the head, neck and shoulders of the user in a capture frame of a capture area. The sub-frame of pixels is displayed to a remote user at a remote computing system who is participating in the video chat application with the user. The capture device automatically tracks the position of the head, neck and shoulders of the user as the user moves to a next location within the capture area. A next sub-frame of pixels identifying a position of the head, neck and shoulders of the user in the next location is identified and displayed to the remote user at the remote computing device.

摘要： Raster segment commands are generated by a delta encoder and are encoded for raster segments detected to have moved in the current frame with respect to a location of the raster segment in a previous frame. Raster segment motion commands are stored in a queue and, when written, copy a raster segment into the current frame from a previous payload or cache. When written from the queue to a payload, raster segment motion commands are applied to a copy of the current frame maintained at the server using a copy of the previous payload sent. When copying a raster segment from a raster segment cache, a raster segment cache command retrieves identified raster segment data from the raster segment cache and copies the raster segment into a particular location in the current frame at the client. The raster segment commands are sent to a client via a payload to copy a raster segment from a previous payload into the current frame at the client or from a raster segment cache to the current frame.

摘要： A system and method are disclosed for quickly and easily making data from one device available to other devices in a user's collection of computing devices. In one example, each of a user's computing devices includes a client-side clipboard application. A cloud clipboard service may be resident on a server to which each of the user's computing devices are operatively connected. Data from a local clipboard buffer on a user's computing device is automatically uploaded by the associated client-side clipboard application to the cloud clipboard service. Thereafter, the uploaded data it is automatically propagated to a user's other networked devices for use on those devices. Data from one user uploaded to the cloud clipboard service may also be propagated to the devices of one or more other users.

摘要： A system to generate a bindable insurance quote, and renew and make midterm adjustments to a policy includes an enterprise service bus, an application programming interface (API) in communication with the service bus, a model view controller (MVC) in communication with the API, an insurance frontend graphical user interface (GUI) in communication with the MVC, and a payment API in communication with the MVC and the service bus. In addition, the system includes insurance carrier direct services in communication with the payment API. The system includes a data enrichment module in communication with the API, where the data enrichment module comprises third party web services used to retrieve customer and property data to prefill and default policy information. In addition, the system includes an external rating engine and a handshaking algorithm configured to manage rate calls with the external rating engine to generate a binding insurance quote.

摘要： Frames of user interface (UI) graphical data can be remotely rendered more efficiently at a client during a remote session with a server by utilizing graphical data cached at the client to prevent re-sending data to the client that was sent in previous payloads. By using cache memory to remember recurring frames of similar UI data and delta encoding to correct areas that are not similar, encoded payload sizes are greatly reduced. When a cached frame is closer to a new frame than the current frame, the cached frame is selected and delta commands are derived from differences between the selected cache frame and the new frame. The differences between the cached frame and the new frame are then encoded as delta commands and the cache commands and delta commands are sent to the client which receives and applies the commands to render the new frame.

摘要： Frames of user interface graphical data can be remotely rendered at a client during a remote session with a server by providing graphical data commands to the client. The commands include motion commands derived from objects that change position between a current frame and a new frame and delta commands derived from differences between the frames. The delta commands can be generated from a frame update after applying motion commands or without applying motion commands. A server identifies moving objects having a first position in the current frame and a second position in the new frame, generates motion hints for the moving objects, and reduces the motion hints based on collision detection, motion verification and other factors. Motion commands are generated for the reduced set of motion hints and applied to a copy of the current frame at the server. Differences between the modified current frame and the new frame are then encoded as delta commands. The server then sends the motion commands and delta commands to the client. The client receives and applies the commands to the current frame to render the new frame.

摘要： The present invention provides for rendering graphics/image data at an electronic device that typically has limited resources. A video data steam is received at an electronic device, the video data stream including either user interface information or slideshow presentation data coded in a video codec format. A video processor of the electronic device is used to decode at least a portion of the video data stream into video frame data. A portion of the user interface or slideshow presentation is then displayed as video from data on a display of the electronic device.
