Abstract: A video on demand system for providing graceful degradation and fault tolerance comprises a plurality of media storage ends, a first level network device, and a plurality of video trunk combiners. Each of the media storage ends respectively stores a plurality of video files, and provides a plurality of frequency channels to transmit the video files. The first level network device receives each of the frequency channels provided by each of the media storage ends, and externally transmits at least one of the frequency channels provided by at least two of the media storage ends. Each of the video trunk combiners is connected between the first level network device and at least one user end, and receives the at least one of the frequency channels provided by at least two of the media storage ends via the first level network device.

Abstract: In a dynamic multilayer video processing method applied to a signal receiving apparatus, the signal receiving apparatus is connected to a display device. To display a screen on the display device, the method transmits a request signal to a system control end connected to the signal receiving apparatus for receiving a video signal and a graphic/text data, and processes and divides the video signal and the graphic/text data into a video image layer and a graphic/text data image layer, and then displays a dynamic multilayer menu on the display device for users to select the required displayed image, and finally displays an image layer specified by a select instruction on the display device according to at least one select instruction received by the signal receiving apparatus, so that the contents of the TV video, graphic/text data or OSD information on the display panel can be processed, displayed or modified;

Abstract: Synthesis of novel images from example images is achieved by interpolating among example images based on user selection of parameter values in a hierarchy of networks referred to as parent networks and child networks. Child networks describe distinct physical characteristics of the image, such as thickness of eyebrows. Parent networks describe more general or abstract characteristics related to the image, such as emotional states expressed by the image.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method for centrally distributing screensaver video to protect display devices, which is implemented to a central VOD system comprising a remote video server, a plurality of signal transmission devices, and display devices each connected to a signal transmission device. The remote video server has a plurality of ordinary video data and at least a screensaver video data therein; each signal transmission device may receive a screensaver video data and at least one ordinary video data, and then transmit the screensaver video data and the ordinary video data to the display device connected thereto. The signal transmission device outputs the screensaver data on the display device when not receiving any control signal within a predetermined period of time, and does not resume the original ordinary video data on the display device unless the signal transmission device receives the control signal again.

Abstract: A method of dynamically showing a water mark is applied in an audio/video transmitter. The audio/video transmitter includes a plurality of display contents such as a playback area name, a playback date, a playback time and an identification mark. The audio/video transmitter continues obtaining a plurality of frames from an audio/video source such as an audio/video server or an audio/video database and temporarily stores the frames in a buffer. The audio/video transmitter also produces a water mark from at least one display content according to a plurality of display conditions such as display coordinates, appearance, time and frequency, and composes the water mark with at least one frame stored in the buffer to form at least one display screen, and shows the display screen on an output unit, such that the water mark on the display screen cannot be changed or overwritten, and viewers can identify the water mark easily.
