20080225735 | REDUCING EFFECTS OF PACKET LOSS IN VIDEO TRANSMISSIONS - An error correction system determines a level of error correction protection to apply to a frame of video data to be transmitted by a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint based on the predicted impact of packet loss as well as the importance of the frame based on inter-frame dependencies, frame size, packet loss probability, historical packet loss pattern, central processing unit (CPU) load, and available network bandwidth. At the receiving endpoint, when packet loss is detected for a particular frame, the receiving endpoint will attempt to recover the frame using protection packets received along with the video data. | 09-18-2008 |
20080266411 | MULTIPLE RESOLUTION CAPTURE IN REAL TIME COMMUNICATIONS - During remote communication session, there can be situations where information needs to be sent at a high resolution. Sending information at a high resolution allows for the capture of detail that can be lost without the use of a high resolution. A web camera can obtain information in both a higher resolution and standard resolution. A sending component can send this information encoded with markers that allow a receiving component to process and display the information. | 10-30-2008 |
20080297611 | COMPUTER-CONTROLLED LIGHTING FOR VIDEO COMMUNICATION - A video communication system may include a computer program that implements a feedback control process for automatically controlling a light. The feedback control process may include receiving an image from a video camera and determining an initial difference between the received image and a stored image. For example, the feedback control process may determine, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, whether the color and intensity of a facial region in the captured image is sufficiently close to the color and intensity of a facial region in the stored image. If the difference between the captured image and the stored image exceeds a threshold, the feedback control process includes transmitting an optimization instruction to the light. This optimization instruction, when performed by the light, decreases the difference between the received image and the stored image. | 12-04-2008 |

For example, a protocol can be employed to communicate the dependency structure from a sender to a receiver. Moreover, a mechanism on a receiver side can detect frame(s) that will be rendered with artifacts if displayed due to previous frame loss; this mechanism can leverage receiver side knowledge concerning the dependency structure of the of the frames. | 12-25-2008 |
20100238789 | ERROR RECOVERY IN AN AUDIO-VIDEO MULTIPOINT CONTROL COMPONENT - Architecture for enabling a communications endpoint to quickly recover from a packet loss, reducing duration of a signal dropout. A communications component sends a downlink of dependency-structured signals, such as audio and/or video signals using compressed frames between key frames. A multipoint control component (MCC) is located between the communications component and multiple endpoints, and distributes the downlink to the multiple endpoints. A frame caching component caches a key frame of the downlink. If a key frame is lost at one of the endpoints, the endpoint sends a packet loss report to the frame caching component. The key frame is resent from the frame caching component to the endpoint in response to the key frame loss. In this way, the frame caching component can respond to specific frame loss situations on any of the endpoints, without interfering with the performance on the other endpoints. | 09-23-2010 |

20090195537 | GRAPHICS REMOTING ARCHITECTURE - Systems and methods to implement a graphics remoting architecture for rendering graphics images at remote clients are disclosed. In one implementation, when a D3D application hosted on a remote server is used by a remote client, the graphics associated with the D3D application are created and rendered at the remote client. For this, the D3D commands and D3D objects corresponding to the graphics are abstracted into data streams at the remote server. The data streams are then sent to the remote client. At the remote client, the D3D commands and D3D objects are extracted from the data streams and executed to create the graphics images. The graphics images are then rendered and displayed using output devices at the remote client. | 08-06-2009 |
