  • Patent number: 9609275
    Abstract: A method includes transmitting, from an encoding client to a first remote computing system, an encoded video stream that includes a plurality of first-resolution frames and a plurality of second-resolution frames. The method also includes transmitting, from the encoding client to the first remote computing system in the encoded video stream, a first-resolution non-displayed anchor frame. The method also includes receiving, at the encoding client from the first remote computing system, a request to change resolution. In response to receiving the request to change resolution, the method includes transmitting, from the encoding client to the first remote computing system in the encoded video stream, a set of frames that are encoded relative to the first-resolution non-displayed anchor frame.

  • Patent number: 7200643
    Abstract: A controller, a system, and a method of controlling the operation of the controller of an electric device. The method comprises: sending a user interface software packet stored in the controller's memory to a first external device; disassembling the user interface software packet in the first external device into executable user interface server software and user interface client software; sending the user interface client software from the first external device to a second portable external device; the user interface client software communicating with the user interface server software via a wireless radio connection between the first external device and the second portable external device; the user interface server software converting the commands issued by the user interface client software and transferring the commands to the controller's interface; and the controller executing an operation according to the converted command received via its interface.
