  • Publication number: 20130300818
    Abstract: The present invention provides an interactive video platform system and a method for the same. Users at the client terminals link to the interactive video platform via a browser to participate in video interactivities among the users. The present invention also provides a virtual camera and a virtual transparency to promote the convenience of the users and the quality and efficiency of the interactive video platform system. At the end of video interactivities, a video server of the interactive video platform system edits the information of the video interactivity and stores the information in a central database for reference by users.

  • Patent number: 8055103
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an object-based image search system and method, whereby a user may visually specify query objects for retrieving relevant images without using any image-segmenting software tool. The method of the present invention comprises: specifying target feature points from sample images which are displayed in an image query interface and determining logic relationships of the target feature points; utilizing a feature-point checking program to correlate the target feature points with target objects; utilizing a feature-similarity calculating program to find out the images relevant to the target objects via the image feature parameters stored in a feature database; arranging and presenting the relevant images in sequence.

  • Publication number: 20010014122
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing and restructuring video signals are provided to promote the usefulness of a video channel, resulting in the efficacy of accommodating more video programs in a single video channel. Several video compressing and restructuring devices are used to directly compress multiple digital video data streams which are then integrated by a multiplexer. Each of the video compressing and restructuring devices comprises a plurality of video compressors for compressing the video codes of the digital video data stream, and a multiplexer for integrating the video codes having been compressed by the video compressor. Each video compressor comprises a trancoder for properly adjusting quantization scale for further compressing video signals. Based on the present invention, video signals are directly compressed with simple method and apparatus of low cost, leading to the realizing of an analogy Video-On-Demand system (approximate to a Video-On-Demand system).
