Abstract:
An apparatus and method for media streaming in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network having a plurality of peer modules connected on the network include a source peer module connected on the network, the source peer module being associated with a highest logical level of the network. A plurality of viewer peer modules is also connected on the network, each viewer peer module being associated with a logical network level. The logical network level associated with each viewer peer module is a quantity of logical network levels that the viewer peer module is logically below the source peer module. The P2P network is configured such that each viewer peer module can be connected to no more than one up-peer module logically above the viewer peer module, and each viewer peer module can be connected to any integer number of down-peer modules logically below the viewer peer module.
Abstract:
A method for communicating from a mobile platform includes arranging a plurality of regions in a communication screen on a first mobile platform. Each one of the plurality of regions in the communication screen is populated with communication data. The communication data includes at least one or more of text data, image data, and video data. The communication screen is sent from the first mobile platform to a second mobile platform. A display of the communication screen on the second mobile platform appears substantially identical to a display of the communication screen on the first mobile platform.

Abstract:
A method for embedding stereo imagery includes (a) transforming a foreground stereo image, extracted from a source stereo image captured by a first stereo camera, from a scale associated with the first stereo camera to a scale associated with a second stereo camera, to form a transformed foreground stereo image, and (b) embedding the transformed foreground stereo image into a target stereo image, captured by the second stereo camera, to form an embedded stereo image.
