20090094360 | Multi-Source Broadcasting in Peer-to-Peer Network - A computer-implemented method for broadcasting over a network using peer-to-peer technology including commencing a broadcast over a peer-to-peer network, wherein a control computer selects at least one of multiple computers in the peer-to-peer network as an originating source of the broadcast; and changing the originating source of the broadcast, during the broadcast and as indicated by the control computer, from the at least one of the multiple computers to at least another of the multiple computers. | 04-09-2009 |
20090182890 | Information Communication - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for imparting information. In general, one or more aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in one or more methods that include receiving (e.g., in a peer-to-peer network) multiple sets of numerical residuals generated in accordance with multiple corresponding prime numbers; determining, based on the prime numbers, whether the sets of numerical residuals are sufficient to recover information encoded by the sets of numerical residuals; and recovering the information, when the sets of numerical residuals are sufficient, from at least a portion of the sets of numerical residuals using at least a portion of the prime numbers. | 07-16-2009 |
20110153329 | Audio Comparison Using Phoneme Matching - Audio comparison using phoneme matching is described, including evaluating audio data associated with a file, identifying a sequence of phonemes in the audio data, associating the file with a product category based on a match indicating the sequence of phonemes is substantially similar to another sequence of phonemes, the file being stored, and accessing the file when a request associated with the product category is detected. | 06-23-2011 |
20130121662 | Acoustic Pattern Identification Using Spectral Characteristics to Synchronize Audio and/or Video - Embodiments of the invention relate generally to computing devices and systems, software, computer programs, applications, and user interfaces for identifying acoustic patterns, and more particularly, to determining equivalent portions of audio using spectral characteristics to, for example, synchronize audio and/or video captured at multiple cameras or different intervals of time. | 05-16-2013 |
20130129317 | Client Playback of Streaming Video Adapted for Smooth Transitions and Viewing in Advance Display Modes - Systems and methods are presented for adaptively streaming a time-ordered sequence of video frames from a video server, across a wide area network, to a remote client video device, to accommodate advanced video display modes. Based on indications received from the remote client, the video server obtains and sends to the remote client encodings of video frames adapted to facilitate smooth, timely transitions between display modes at the client, and optimal playback quality across all modes, subject to various operational constraints. Advanced playback modes include fast forward and reverse, slow forward and reverse, frame-by-frame stepping, and other modes that specify displaying video frames on the client at a rate different from the normal display rate, or that specify displaying video frames in a different order than the normal time-ordering of the sequence of video frames. The systems and methods may be incorporated into collaborative online video editing environments. | 05-23-2013 |
20130132462 | Dynamically Generating and Serving Video Adapted for Client Playback in Advanced Display Modes - Systems and methods are presented for adaptively streaming a time-ordered sequence of video frames from a video server, across a wide area network, to a remote client video device, to accommodate advanced video display modes. Based on indications received from the remote client, the video server obtains and sends to the remote client encodings of video frames adapted to facilitate smooth, timely transitions between display modes at the client, and optimal playback quality across all modes, subject to various operational constraints.

20140082209 | PERSONALIZED STREAMING INTERNET VIDEO - A video preparation system is described. The system includes an event detector, a viewer identification, a selector, a video synthesis module, and a communications module. The event detector may be configured to detect an event associated with a main video content. The viewer identification module may be configured to determine an identification of a viewer associated with the event and to obtain information about the viewer. The selector may be configured to select additional video content that could be presented with the main video content. The video synthesis module may be configured to modify, in real time, the video content to produce a resulting content based on the information about the viewer. The communications module may be configured to provide the resulting content to a play-out server, the resulting content suitable for streaming via the Internet to a client computer system associated with the viewer. | 03-20-2014 |

20130077935 | RANDOM GENERATION OF BEACONS FOR VIDEO ANALYTICS - At least one of a probability density for a video and a granularity mapping for the video based upon the probability density are generated at an analytics server. The probability density is calculated according to a predetermined set of points in the video and a pseudo-randomly generated set of points in the video. The probability density is non-degenerate. The granularity mapping for the video provides a mapping of the probability density to the video. The at least one of the probability density and the granularity mapping are sent from the analytics server to a video content server so that the video content server sends the video and the at least one of the probability density, and the granularity mapping to each of a plurality of clients. A set of beacons is generated by the each of the plurality of the clients according to the probability density and the granularity mapping. | 03-28-2013 |
20130080591 | BEACON UPDATING FOR VIDEO ANALYTICS - At least one of an initial probability density for a video and an initial granularity mapping for the video based upon the initial probability density are generated at an analytics server. The initial probability density is calculated according to a set of points in the video. A set of beacons is generated by the each of the plurality of the clients according to the at least one of the initial probability density and the initial granularity mapping during playback of the video based on a duration of the playback by the each of the plurality of the clients is received at the analytics server. Further, at least one of an updated probability density and an updated granularity mapping based upon the updated probability density are generated such that a quantity of beacons in the set of beacons is modified. | 03-28-2013 |
20140371891 | LOCAL CONTROL OF DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING - Techniques are disclosed for facilitating digital signal processing in a client-server computing environment. In one embodiment, a local computing device is used to playback a digital media asset that is processed by a digital signal processing server. The local computing device can be configured to provide a user interface that receives a user selection of the segment of the media asset that is to be modified, and responsive to such selection, that instructs the digital signal processing server to segment the media asset accordingly. The “segmented mix”, which includes the user-selected portion of the media asset that is to be modified, is provided to the local computing device for local processing according to the user's instructions. The “main mix”, which comprises the other non-selected portions of the media asset, continues to be processed by the digital signal processing server and provided to the local computing device for playback. | 12-18-2014 |
