20140330689 | System and Method for Verifying Online Banking Account Identity Using Real-Time Communication and Digital Certificate - A system and method for verifying online banking account identity using real-time communication and digital certificate, comprising: online banking server with users' bank accounts, security server, users' cellular phones, and digital certificate, wherein the security server is equipped with a server end for real-time communication technology and the user's cellular phone is equipped with real-time communication application, with which the cellular phone uses to connect with the security server. Whenever the user performs online banking services that require identity authentication, the online banking server verifies the user's digital certificate, and performs security authentication through the security server and the user's cellular phone. This increases the difficulty for hackers to commit online banking fraud by infecting a user's Internet terminal with the Trojan Horse virus, because these hackers would still need access to the user's cellular phone to successfully complete the security authentication process and access online banking services. | 11-06-2014 |

20130170551 | Halo Reduction in Frame-Rate-Conversion Using Hybrid Bi-Directional Motion Vectors for Occlusion/Disocclusion Detection - A frame-rate converter reduces halo artifacts along edges of moving objects. Halo artifacts occur on interpolated frames where a moving object covers and uncovers pixels along its edges. Motion estimation among three original frames produces hybrid direction motion vectors that are bi-directional for background and objects, but are unidirectional for covered and uncovered regions, since motion vectors with large matching errors are deleted. Covered regions in the interpolated frame are detected as intersecting only a forward but no backward hybrid motion vector. Bi-directional motion estimation from the hybrid motion vectors of two original frames produces refined motion vectors for the interpolated frame. Refined motion vectors in the covered regions are deleted and replaced with hybrid motion vectors from the original frames. Hybrid motion vectors from the original frames are assigned to the critical covered regions rather than using interpolated vectors in the covered regions, reducing halo artifacts. | 07-04-2013 |
