Filed:

Sep 19, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/955607

Inventors:

William J. Gaylord - Stone Mountain GA, US

Assignee:

BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H04N007/14

US Classification:

348 1408, 348 1412, 348 1413

Abstract:

Multiple video picture frames are combined into a spatial multiplex video picture frame that may be fully decoded and displayed. The video display of the spatial multiplex video picture frame is a composite combination of all of the video picture frames that have been combined, and may have an appearance such as a mosaic. Multiplexing the video picture frames involves removing picture headers, creating a picture header for the spatial multiplex video picture frame, and altering the headers of individual components of each video picture frame. The new header for the spatial multiplex video picture frame indicates a slice format frame, and headers of the individual components are altered to provide a slice format based picture position for each video picture frame. The headers of the individual components are altered to become slice based, such as in accordance with the ITU-T H. 263 video standard, prior to establishing the slice based picture position if the frames are not already of the slice format.

International Classification:

H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725105

Abstract:

A method and system for recording a digital video image is described. An embodiment of the present invention includes a video-capture device, connected to a wireless-communication device. The wireless-communication device transmits images captured by the real-time video-capture device to a receiving facility via a communications network. The receiving facility may comprise, for example, a security office. The receiving facility processes the images, monitoring, storing, forwarding and deleting the images as necessary.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370401, 370428

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products share content between a device and a media delivery device. The media delivery device includes a content sharing application stored in memory and a processor communicating with the memory. The processor sends a presence update message to indicate the media delivery device is active and available to receive content. The processor receives an invite, and the invite requests a session between the media delivery device and the device. The processor sends an accept message to accept the invitation. The processor receives the content and receives a message that terminates the session.

Appl. No.:

13/453055

Inventors:

William J. Gaylord - Stone Mountain GA, US

Assignee:

BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H04N 9/74

US Classification:

348584, 348E09055

Abstract:

A combined video image is created from a plurality of video images. Each video image has a plurality of video image components, and each video image component has an image component header. The image header is removed from each video image to be included in the combined video image, and a new image header is generated for the combined video image. The image component header of each video image component to be included in the combined video image is altered to set an image position for the video image component within the combined video image. The combined video image is generated by concatenating the new image header with the plurality of video images having no image headers and the video image components having the altered image component headers.
