摘要： Free viewpoint video of a scene is generated and presented to a user. An arrangement of sensors generates streams of sensor data each of which represents the scene from a different geometric perspective. The sensor data streams are calibrated. A scene proxy is generated from the calibrated sensor data streams. The scene proxy geometrically describes the scene as a function of time and includes one or more types of geometric proxy data which is matched to a first set of current pipeline conditions in order to maximize the photo-realism of the free viewpoint video resulting from the scene proxy at each point in time. A current synthetic viewpoint of the scene is generated from the scene proxy. This viewpoint generation maximizes the photo-realism of the current synthetic viewpoint based upon a second set of current pipeline conditions. The current synthetic viewpoint is displayed.

摘要： Cloud based FVV streaming technique embodiments presented herein generally employ a cloud based FVV pipeline to create, render and transmit FVV frames depicting a captured scene as would be viewed from a current synthetic viewpoint selected by an end user and received from a client computing device. The FVV frames use a similar level of bandwidth as a conventional streaming movie would consume. To change viewpoints, a new viewpoint is sent from the client to the cloud, and a new streaming movie is initiated from the new viewpoint. Frames associated with that viewpoint are created, rendered and transmitted to the client until a new viewpoint request is received.

摘要： A “Dynamic High Definition Bubble Framework” allows local clients to display and navigate FVV of complex multi-resolution and multi-viewpoint scenes while reducing computational overhead and bandwidth for rendering and/or transmitting the FVV. Generally, the FVV is presented to the user as a broad area from some distance away. Then, as the user zooms in or changes viewpoints, one or more areas of the overall area are provided in higher definition or fidelity. Therefore, rather than capturing and providing high definition everywhere (at high computational and bandwidth costs), the Dynamic High Definition Bubble Framework captures one or more “bubbles” or volumetric regions in higher definition in locations where it is believed that the user will be most interested. This information is then provided to the client to allow individual clients to navigate and zoom different regions of the FVV during playback without losing fidelity or resolution in the zoomed areas.

摘要： The view frustum culling technique described herein allows Free Viewpoint Video (FVV) or other 3D spatial video rendering at a client by sending only the 3D geometry and texture (e.g., RGB) data necessary for a specific viewpoint or view frustum from a server to the rendering client. The synthetic viewpoint is then rendered by the client by using the received geometry and texture data for the specific viewpoint or view frustum. In some embodiments of the view frustum culling technique, the client has both some texture data and 3D geometric data stored locally if there is sufficient local processing power. Additionally, in some embodiments, additional spatial and temporal data can be sent to the client to support changes in the view frustum by providing additional geometry and texture data that will likely be immediately used if the viewpoint is changed either spatially or temporally.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for caching content that has been customized based on one or more operating characteristics of a mobile client. A mobile gateway receives content from a content source and customizes the content using transforms assigned to each mobile client. Transforms account for differences between mobile clients without imposing significant processing burdens on the content server. Copies of the content, the transformed content, and a transform identifier are cached at the mobile gateway so that subsequent requests for the content may be satisfied without requiring access to the content source. Processing that is common among several transforms may be shared. Mobile clients may be any type of computer.

摘要： A local area network server may issue security certificates to client devices on the network for two-way authentication across the network. The certificates may be issued through a transaction performed over the network and, in some cases, may be automated. The server may have a self signed or a trusted security certificate which may serve as a basis for issuing certificates to various clients. After a certificate is issued, future communications on the network may be authenticated by both the server and client, and the communications may be encrypted using the certificates.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for customizing content based on at least one operating characteristic of a mobile client. A mobile gateway receives content from a content source, such as an email server, a Web server, or some other content server. For example, content may include email, calendar, contact, task, Web, notification, financial, sports data, configuration information, etc. The mobile gateway customizes the content based on transforms assigned to each mobile client. Transforms account for differences in the software, display, processor, memory, communication channel, and the like, of each mobile client, without imposing additional processing burdens on the content server. Processing that is common among several transforms may be shared. Mobile clients may be any type of computer, including telephones, pagers, PDAs, laptops, and other mobile gateways.

摘要： An expert proxy server is described that is coupled to a number of wireless devices through a wireless network, and to a number of server computer systems through an external network such as, for example, the Internet. The expert proxy server acts as an agent for a wireless device by providing a service for the wireless device. Specifically, the expert proxy server determines that a service is to be provided to the wireless device. Next, the expert proxy server identifies an application that provides the service and then communicates with the identified application that provides the service. The expert proxy server compiles the results of the communication with the application and then transmits the compilation to the wireless device over the wireless network. Thus, the relatively smaller bandwidth of the wireless network is preserved by transmitting a minimal amount of information over the wireless network while leaving more extensive communications to occur over higher bandwidth external networks. Also, since the extensive processing occurs at the expert proxy server rather than at the wireless device, the application on the wireless device may be simplified and smaller as compared to the supporting applications on the expert proxy server thereby preserving the limited memory and processing capability of the wireless device.
