20080256232 | Service Discovery Aggregation Method In a Local Area Network and Device Implementing the Method - The invention enables a standard client according to the DVB-IPI phase | 10-16-2008 |
20090158366 | Method for optimising the transmission of DVB-IP service information by partitioning into several multicast streams - The present invention relates to a broadcast server of service information data streams, comprising a first step consisting in partitioning at least one part of the service information between the different streams, and a second step consisting in broadcasting the partition from the first step on at least two separate streams to a plurality of terminals. | 06-18-2009 |
20090285094 | Apparatus and method for estimating the fill factor of client input buffers of a real time content distribution - The invention concerns a solution for detecting conditions of dearth and overflow of a client input buffer to a real time content distribution. Said detection is performed upstream of clients through a dynamic estimation of the fill factor of the input buffers of said clients. Thus, it is possible to predict the occurrence of dearth or overflow situations and to take actions such as inserting stored video sequences or storing queueing packets. | 11-19-2009 |
20090300185 | Reception of Audio-Visual Content Addressed to Several Devices - The present invention relates to a method for receiving audiovisual programs sent by a server to at least two reception devices. Initially, a first user requests a document from the server that establishes a unicast stream to download said document. Then, a second user requests to receive the same document, even truncated by a part. The server studies the proposal and possibly, for a lower price, agrees to the download. The server then switches the broadcast of the document from a unicast stream to a multicast stream, the first and second devices receiving said document via the same multicast stream. | 12-03-2009 |

20080303829 | Sex selection in inheritance based avatar generation - The generation of characters within computer animations is currently a labor intensive and expensive activity for a wide range of businesses. Whereas prior art approaches have sought to reduce this loading by providing reference avatars, these do not fundamentally overcome the intensive steps in generating these reference avatars, and they provide limited variations. According to the invention a user is provided with a simple and intuitive mechanism to affect the weightings applied in establishing the physical characteristics of an avatar generated using an inheritance based avatar generator. The inheritance based generator allowing, for example, the user to select a first generation of four grandparents, affect the weightings in generating the second generation parents, and affect the weightings in generating the third generation off-spring avatar from these parents. Accordingly the invention provides animators with a means of rapidly generating and refining the off-spring avatar to provide the character for their animated audio-visual content. | 12-11-2008 |
20080303830 | Automatic feature mapping in inheritance based avatar generation - The generation of characters within computer animations is currently a labor intensive and expensive activity for a wide range of businesses.

20080309675 | Metadata for avatar generation in virtual environments - A method of provisioning avatars comprises receiving at a first computer system associated with a first user, a metadata file relating to an avatar of a second user. In particular, the metadata file comprises data for use with an avatar generator process that is in execution on the first computer system. Data is extracted from the metadata file, and is provided as input data to the avatar generator process, thereby generating locally to the first computer system the avatar of the second user. The avatar of the second user so generated is displayed to the first user within a virtual environment. | 12-18-2008 |
20080309677 | Dynamic user interface for inheritance based avatar generation - The generation of characters within computer animations is a labor intensive and expensive activity. Whereas prior art approaches have sought to reduce this loading by providing reference avatars, these do not fundamentally overcome the intensive steps in generating these reference avatars, and they provide limited variations to the businesses employing them. Accordingly the invention provides the user with a simple and intuitive mechanism to affect the weightings applied in establishing the physical characteristics of an avatar generated using an inheritance based avatar generator. The inheritance based generator allowing, for example, the user to select a first generation of four grandparents, affect the weightings in generating the second generation parents, and subsequently affect the weightings in generating the third generation off-spring avatar from these parents, therein providing a wide range of avatars from an initially limited set of avatars. Accordingly the invention provides animators with a means of rapidly generating and refining the off-spring avatar to provide the character for their animated audio-visual content. | 12-18-2008 |
20080316227 | User defined characteristics for inheritance based avatar generation - The generation of characters within computer animations is currently a labor intensive and expensive activity for a wide range of businesses. Whereas prior art approaches have sought to reduce this loading by providing reference avatars, these do not fundamentally overcome the intensive steps in generating these reference avatars, and they provide limited variations. According to the invention a user is provided with a method for establishing the physical characteristics of an avatar by using a process based upon inheritance. The inheritance based avatar generator allows, for example, the user to select a first generation of four grandparents based upon selected characteristics, the generator thereupon determining the physical characteristics of a second generation, being the parents of the final avatar, and then determining the physical characteristics of the third generation off-spring. Accordingly the invention provides animators with a means of rapidly generating avatars from a pool of previously generated avatars. | 12-25-2008 |
20140092090 | MORPHOLOGICAL ATTRACTOR FOR CREATING CUSTOM ANCESTORS IN INHERITANCE-BASED CHARACTER GENERATION - Techniques are disclosed for creating and customizing graphical models. In one embodiment, a design application receives a morphological attractor created from the same mesh as one or more inheritance-based character generation ancestor models. Upon receiving the morphological attractor, the design application may use the attractor to align and transform the ancestor models to create a new set of ancestor models which resemble the attractor. The new set of ancestor models is referred to herein as being in the “genetic space” of the attractor. A user may then create child character models in this same genetic space by, globally or locally, blending two or more of the new ancestor models. | 04-03-2014 |
