Publication number: 20230209114Abstract: A method and device for communicating video for synchronization between a portable wearable camera and a wireless hub device are described. The portable wearable camera may capture first video data. Also, the portable wearable camera may transmit the first video data to the wireless hub device via a video data channel, and may capture second video data. When the video data channel between the wearable camera and the wireless hub device is unable to support full resolution video playback, the portable wearable camera may store the second video data. Further, the portable wearable camera may receive a request via a control channel, from the wireless hub device, for the second video data, and may capture third video data. Further, the portable wearable camera may transmit, to the wireless hub device, the third video data via the video data channel and the second video data via the control channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: AXIS ABInventor: Kerry Calvert

Patent number: 11627354Abstract: A method and device for communicating video for synchronization between a portable wearable camera and a wireless hub device are described. The portable wearable camera may capture first video data. Also, the portable wearable camera may transmit the first video data to the wireless hub device via a first wireless connection, and may capture second video data. When the first wireless connection between the wearable camera and the wireless hub device is unable to support full resolution video playback, the portable wearable camera may store the second video data. Further, the portable wearable camera may receive a request from the wireless hub device for the second video data via a second wireless connection, and may capture third video data. Further, the portable wearable camera may transmit, to the wireless hub device, the third video data via the first wireless connection and the second video data via the second wireless connection.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: AXIS ABInventor: Kerry Calvert

Patent number: 10951936Abstract: A method, device, and computer-readable medium for synchronizing video are described. A wearable camera captures first video data. Also, the wearable camera timestamps the first video data and organizes the first video data using a hash table. The wearable camera transmits the first video data to a wireless hub via a wireless connection and captures second video data. When the wireless connection between the wearable camera and the wireless hub is unable to support full resolution video playback, the wearable camera down-converts the second video data, timestamps the second video data and organizes the second video data using the hash table. The wearable camera transmits the second video data to the wireless hub. Moreover, the first video data and the second video data are synchronizable according to gap synchronization based on one or more timestamps of the first video data and one or more timestamps of the second video data.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: AXIS ABInventor: Kerry Calvert

Patent number: 10659829Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for synchronizing video are described. The system captures video data with a camera, the video data including a first video data segment and a second video data segment. When a network between the camera and a hub is insufficient to allow downstream real-time streaming of the video data, the system stores the first video data segment on a first storage. When the network is sufficient to allow downstream real-time streaming of the video data, the system transfers the second video data segment from the camera to the hub, reads the first video data segment from the first storage, and transfers the first video data segment to the hub. The system stores the video data segments onto a second storage such that a non-real-time playback from the second storage shows the first video data segment and the second video data segment in sequence.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: AXIS ABInventor: Kerry Calvert

Patent number: 9516382Abstract: A method and apparatus for content directory server presentation is described. The method includes connecting a device to media content sources, identifying a media content source as a temporary content source, the temporary content source not permanently connected to the home network, scanning, at a periodic rate, the media content source to identify media content, the rate being higher than a rate for a media content source that is not a temporary content source, and updating a catalog of media content available to the media device based on scanning the media content source. The apparatus includes a receiver scanning media content sources to identify available media content, and a controller determining if a media content source is not permanently connected to the home network, the controller increasing a periodic rate of scanning if the at least one media content source is not permanently connected to the home network.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: THOMSON LICENSINGInventors: Adam Paugh, Kerry Calvert, Kevin Barefoot

Publication number: 20070070376Abstract: In an exemplary method, a print server receives a request from a host for instructions regarding how to process graphics commands corresponding to a print job. In response, the print server determines whether raster image processing of the graphics commands is more efficiently performed by a raster image processing unit on the host or by one or more other raster image processing units. If the print server determines that the raster image processing is more efficiently performed by the host's raster image processing unit, the print server instructs the host to rasterize the graphics commands. If the print server determines that the raster image processing is more efficiently performed by the one or more other raster image processing units, the print server instructs the host to render the graphics commands into page description language data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2005Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: James Owen, Kerry Calvert

Publication number: 20060242153Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for transmitting a requested media file through a network. A master controller of a server partitions the media object. The master controller of the server then assigns a segment of said partitioned media object to a file partition handler for transmission over the network to a client that requested the media object. The file partition handler transmits the segment over a user datagram protocol port through the network to a client. The master controller then assigns a second segment of said partitioned media object to the file partition handler when the original segment is transmitted successfully to the client. The segmentation of the media object is determined in response to the availability of file partition handlers and the conditions specified by the client.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2004Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: Thomas Newberry, Kerry Calvert
