Filed:

Dec 30, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/475457

Inventors:

Stephen S. Ing - Beaverton OR
Christopher J. Lord - Portland OR

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04N 712

US Classification:

37524003, 37524002

Abstract:

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method is presented for controlling a video image compression system. In this method a video frame of raw video image data is compressed using a processor. Then it is determined whether the processor is limited in its ability to compress video image data. Then, a target frame rate is adjusted based on a current amount of time taken to compress said video frame of raw video image data.

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

348 1412, 348 1413

Abstract:

A method and apparatus select the wire video size and capture video size of a video telephony product depending upon the desired remote video size. A target frame rate is taken into account when choosing the wire video size and capture video size. Wire video size is chosen as close to the desired remote video size as possible. To provide high quality, the video capture frame rate and capture video sizes are maintained above a predetermined level.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
H04J 1/16

US Classification:

709204, 709328, 370401, 370216

Abstract:

Facilitating a distributed multipoint conference using, for example, the ITU-T H. 323 protocol may involve establishing a connection (e. g. , that supports a unicast stream) between multiple endpoints, including at least a requesting endpoint and one or more other participating endpoints, and initiating a connection from the requesting endpoint to at least a third endpoint. The requesting endpoint identifies to the third endpoint the one or more other participating endpoints. A connection is established between the third endpoint and the one or more other participating endpoints identified by the requesting endpoint. The third endpoint identifies the requesting endpoint to the one or more other participating endpoints. At each of the endpoints, unicast streams received from each of the other participating endpoints may be mixed to form a logical multipoint conference.

International Classification:

G06F009/46
G06F009/00

US Classification:

709/328000

Abstract:

A plugable call control application program interface includes a base plugable call control application program interface to expose a common set of function calls, properties, and callbacks to be utilized by a plurality of call control protocols. An extended application program interface is adapted to provide advanced function calls, properties, and callbacks beyond the common set.

International Classification:

H04J003/16

US Classification:

370/352000, 370/465000, 370/401000

Abstract:

An Internet Protocol (IP) telephony system includes a lightweight stimulus client configured to receive user input requesting an IP telephony service (e.g., an ITU-T H.450 supplementary service) and communicate the received input over a packet-based network using a standard call control protocol (e.g., Media Gateway Control Protocol or ITU-T H.248). A call agent, executing on a remote server connected to the packet-based network, is configured to perform the requested IP telephony service based on the received input.

Appl. No.:

10/932566

Inventors:

Stephen Ing - Beaverton OR, US
Manoj Agnihotri - Lake Oswego OR, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/76

US Classification:

348231990

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software share an output of a video capture device, such as a video camera, amongst more than one application. Some embodiments comprise writing video frames to a shared memory buffer that is accessible by one or more applications. Some applications are virtual device drivers that appear as actual device drivers of the video capture device producing the video data. Some embodiments comprise acquiring exclusive control of a video capture device driver, allocating a shared memory buffer, receiving a video frame from the video capture device driver, and writing the video frame to the shared memory buffer. In some embodiments, the shared memory buffer comprises two shared memory buffers that are written to and read from in an alternating fashion.

Paul Diefenbaugh - Portland OR, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/235

US Classification:

348229100

Abstract:

A system includes a camera that may be used for multiple applications including an application to measure the ambient light. The camera may include an automatically set a gain or an aperture as well as a shutter speed. The shutter speed and the gain or aperture from the camera may be used to determine the ambient light. Brightness of a display may be adjusted based on the ambient light.
