20130003530 | Ethernet Ring Protection without MAC Table Flushing - A network device located in an Ethernet ring may be operable to determine binding between a MAC address and a peer device in the Ethernet ring. The binding may indicate that the MAC address is behind the peer device. When an Ethernet ring failure occurs, the network device may be operable to update forwarding information based on a ring topology of the Ethernet ring, a position of the failure on the Ethernet ring and the binding. The forwarding information may indicate which ring port that is used on the network device to forward MAC frames to a destination corresponding to the MAC address. The network device may then forward the MAC frames based on the updated forwarding information. The Ethernet ring may utilize a VLAN frame format, a Q-in-Q frame format or a MAC-in-MAC frame format. The forwarding information may comprise a MAC table and/or a protection table. | 01-03-2013 |
20140098185 | Interactive user selected video/audio views by real time stitching and selective delivery of multiple video/audio sources - This invention describes how a panoramic view can be created in real-time using multiple ordinary video cameras by splicing the video frames in real-time. It also describes how a subset of that panoramic view can be viewed on customer screen and how a customer can smoothly shift and scroll or zoom the customer view in real-time to view the other parts of the panoramic view using a remote control device. This invention also describes how all this can be achieved economically by using a cloud service such as assigning a Virtual Machine to each customer and using hardware acceleration engines in the data center such as high-end video cards. | 04-10-2014 |
20140156867 | OFFLOAD PROCESSING INTERFACE - Disclosed are various embodiments providing offload processing circuitry of a network switch. The offload processing circuitry receives an administrative packet from a network switch, the offload processing circuitry being communicatively coupled to a network switch via an Ethernet interface. The offload processing circuitry identifies a receive offload header associated with the administrative packet, the receive offload header comprising a media access control (MAC) address associated with the offload processing circuitry. The offload processing circuitry updates a state machine based at least upon the administrative packet. The offload processing circuitry transmits packets to a network switch by encapsulating it in offload header. The network switch uses the offload header to forward the packet to a proper port. | 06-05-2014 |
20140258297 | Automatic grouping of photos into folders and naming the photo folders - This invention provides intelligent automatic grouping of photos. This is done by recognizing multiple photos taken from the same scene and grouping them together and displaying only one of the photos (auto-selected photo) from the group as the top-most visible photo on the screen. The user can see other photos from the same scene by placing curser or clicking on the auto-selected photo from the group. The device can automatically propose the best photo from the group and suggest photos that can be deleted from the group. This invention also provides another feature. Based on Time and date, GPS location information, contacts address, events (such as Birthday, Christmas, Valentine), etc. the device automatically groups the photos in a folder and provides the proper name for it such as “Valentine 2013 in Los Angeles”, or “John's birthday”. | 09-11-2014 |
20140293825 | TIMESTAMPING DATA PACKETS - Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a data packet with timestamp information. A data packet is generated such that it comprises a payload and a header. The payload comprises a first timestamp field that comprises data indicating when a network device processed the data packet. The payload also comprises a body data field and a body data protocol field. The body data protocol field comprises data identifying a protocol used by body data in the body data field. The header comprises a payload protocol field that comprises data identifying that the payload comprises timestamp data. | 10-02-2014 |
20150118953 | Multicast of audio/video streams to authorized recipients over a private wireless network - This invention describes a system that can reuse existing ubiquitous wireless networks such as WiFi or Bluetooth to transmit audio/video channels to a group of recipients, which can listen/watch to the live transmitted audio/video streams using their own smart phones, tablets or PDAs. The system is confined to authorized recipients within a private wireless network and the recipients may see the playlist and library and request any audio/video to be added to the playlist or moved up the play list. | 04-30-2015 |
