Publication number: 20240062467Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for establishing one or more virtual sessions between users. For instance, a first device can transmit, to a second device, a call establishment request for a virtual representation call for a virtual session and can receive, from the second device, a call acceptance indicating acceptance of the call establishment request. The first device can transmit, to the second device, first mesh information for a first virtual representation of a first user of the first device and first mesh animation parameters for the first virtual representation. The first device can receive, from the second device, second mesh information for a second virtual representation of a second user of the second device and second mesh animation parameters for the second virtual representation. The first device can generate, based on the second mesh information and the second mesh animation parameters, the second virtual representation of the second user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Michel Adib SARKIS, Chiranjib CHOUDHURI, Ke-Li CHENG, Ajit Deepak GUPTE, Ning BI, Cristina DOBRIN, Ramesh CHANDRASEKHAR, Imed BOUAZIZI, Liangping MA, Thomas STOCKHAMMER, Nikolai Konrad LEUNG

Patent number: 11895348Abstract: Systems and methods for providing variable trick-play mode playback of media content in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. A playback device stores images of the media content associated with presentation times and marker information for the media content that indicates the presentation time of moments of interest. When a trick-play mode is invoked, the playback device determines a presentation time of a next marker in the playback. The playback device determines whether the current presentation time of the playback is within a specified range of the presentation time of the next marker and adjusts the speed of the trick-play playback based on the determination. The next frame to present is determined based on the adjusted speed of the trick-play playback and displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: DIVX, LLCInventors: William Frantz, Eric William Grab, Cristina Dobrin

Publication number: 20230336612Abstract: Systems and methods for quick start-up of playback in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. Media content may be encoded in a plurality of alternative streams and a quick start-up stream. The quick start-up stream may include media content that is encoded at a lower quality that the alternative streams and may be encrypted with a different, less secure encryption process than that of the alternative streams. During a start-up of playback, the playback device streams the media content from a quick start-up stream until a metric, such as a decryption key for the alternative streams is met. The device then streams the media content from the alternative streams in response to the metric being met.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: DIVX, LLCInventors: William David Amidei, Jason Braness, Cristina Dobrin

Publication number: 20080187188Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for enhancing media fingerprint calculations by distributing the fingerprinting task among multiple terminals. A fingerprinting task is distributed among a plurality of terminals by calculating a plurality of different fingerprints or fingerprint portions of a media stream at a plurality of terminals. A stream of fingerprints can thereby created based on the fingerprints or fingerprint portions provided by the terminals involved in the fingerprinting task distribution. Content associated with the media stream is identified using the content fingerprint. In this manner, the content can be identified and provided to the multiple terminals, while distributing the fingerprinting task among the multiple terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2007Publication date: August 7, 2008Inventors: Oleg Beletski, Niklas Von Knorring, Marcel Keppels, Cristina Dobrin, Saket Gupta, Jukka Heinonen
