| 20090106381 | Network Object Predictive Pre-Download Device - A network object predictive pre-download device operable on a network logically between a web client and a web server on a network is described. The pre-download device includes a prediction engine that intercepts a request from the web client to the web server for a first network object and determines a second network object most probable to be requested in the future from the web server. The pre-download device also includes a cache primer that intercepts a response to the request from the web server and sends a first message to the web client informing the web client of the second network object to be cached by the web client. The cache primer also sends the second network object to the web client such that the second network object is predicatively pre-downloaded to the web client whereby second network object latency is reduced when an actual user request occurs. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20110037767 | VIDEO IN E-MAIL - To allow a video clip to be rendered within an e-mail, the video stream is converted into an animated image object (e.g. a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) object) and stored on a server system. An HTML image element/tag (![]() ) is created that references the animated image object at the server, for embedding in a conventional HTML-encoded e-mail message. When the receiving e-mail application processes the HTML encoding, the processing of the HTML image element causes the referenced animated image object to be downloaded and displayed, thereby automatically presenting a recreation of the video stream. To facilitate efficient transmission to the receiving device, the size of the animated image object is preferably optimized before transmission, the optimization including general optimization techniques, as well as optimizations based on the particular characteristics associated with the receiving device and/or the communications link to the receiving device. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20130031589 | MULTIPLE RESOLUTION SCANNABLE VIDEO - To enable a user to rapidly scan to a desired frame of a video, multiple recordings of the video are provided, each at progressively better resolution. When the user is scanning for a frame, the lowest resolution recording is used to provide the display; when the user arrives at a desired frame, the higher resolution recordings are used. A subsequent user selection of a different frame causes the display of the higher resolution images to be interrupted, and the lowest resolution recording is used to provide an image corresponding to the different frame. The lesser resolution recordings may include a reduction in either spatial or temporal resolution, or both, and may include ‘motion blur’ that provides a visually ‘smoother’ continuous scan. Each higher resolution frame replaces the lower resolution frame that is displayed while waiting for the higher resolution frame to be downloaded. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20150026279 | VIDEO IN E-MAIL - To allow a video clip to be rendered within an e-mail, the video stream is converted into an animated image object (e.g. a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) object) and stored on a server system.
