International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

4554561, 455 412, 455420, 455 901, 381312, 381315

Abstract:

This invention provides a communication device that is capable of interacting with a local wireless communication system when the communication device is within range of the local wireless communication system for controlling operating characteristics of the communication device. The communication device may include cellular telephones, mobile phones, voice pagers, data pagers, mobile computers, palm computers, mobile facsimile machines, mobile appliances, multimedia devices and other wireless communication devices. The local wireless communication system may be located in any site such as an office building, home, hotel, concert hall, movie theater, restaurant, conference room, or public transportation systems. When the local wireless communication system determines that a command is to be sent, the system may transmit a command to all communication devices that are within range of the local wireless communication system, or to a subset of them. For example, the local wireless communication system in an airplane may send a command to all cell phones within its range to turn off to prevent harmful interference with the airplanes communication system.

International Classification:

H01Q003/00

US Classification:

342359

Abstract:

A portable device for assessing the degree of alignment between antenna and a satellite.

International Classification:

H04N 7/26

US Classification:

37524002, 375E07154

Abstract:

Various embodiments of methods and systems for buffering a video stream to smooth out the variable bit rate in an MPEG 2 transport stream to a capped bit rate, while not causing packet loss on the network, and allowing the streams to pass through a bit rate constrained IP network are disclosed. One method includes conditioning a variable bit rate video content stream such that the frames are packed back to back into a constant bit rate stream such that filler packets are not required to approximate a constant bit rate. The packed video content stream, having a constant bit rate due to portions of the frames being packed into a given transmission segment, may be transmitted across a channel in a constant bit rate network.

Appl. No.:

17/027235

Inventors:

- Norcross GA, US
Robert Saunders - Alpharetta GA, US
David Borges - Buford GA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
H04N 21/24
H04N 21/231
H04L 29/06
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Multiple segmentation servers are synchronized to provide failover capacity in such a way that should a failover occur, the segment numbers/playlists/encryption keys/decryption keys are identical on each of the segmentation servers. Synchronizing the contents of a segmentation server on one or more backup segmentation servers ensures that the delivery of a content stream is immune to the failure of segmentation servers, provided at least one segmentation server remains fault-free. A caching server may further facilitate the fault tolerance by checking the availability of the individual segmentation servers, collect content segments from one of the segmentation servers, and serve the content segment to clients. The caching server automatically checks a primary segmentation server to ensure it is available (e.g., online), and provides automatic failover to a backup segmentation server should the primary server experience a fault (e.g., go offline).

Abstract:

A video distribution system synchronizes video output streams on multiple encoders without communication therebetween. Each of the encoders is configured to decode a source video content stream into a sequence of uncompressed frames, where each frame in the sequence is marked with an associated presentation time stamp (PTS) clock value. The encoders calculate a number of clock cycles between instantaneous decoder refresh (IDR)-frames. For each frame in the sequence, the encoders calculate a remainder after a division of an associated PTS clock value of a given frame by the number of clock cycles between IDR-frames. The encoders mark each frame in the sequence as an IDR-frame where the corresponding remainder is strictly less than the number of PTS clock cycles per frame and mark a remainder of the frames in the sequence as an internal frame within a group of pictures (GOP) to produce a marked set of video frames. The encoders pass the marked set video frames through a video codec to produce the synchronized video output streams.
