Patent number: 7827429Abstract: A fault tolerant computer comprises a first unit, a second unit, a delay buffer and a delay time setting unit. The first unit executes a computer program in response to an input signal. The second unit executes the computer program in the same execution environment as the first unit in response to the input signal. The delay buffer controls a delay time of a timing when the input signal is input to the first unit with respect to a timing when the input signal is input to the second unit. The delay time setting unit sets the delay time to zero when receiving a synchronization mode signal and sets the delay time to be larger than zero when receiving a delay mode signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Kouichi Matsumoto

Patent number: 7667729Abstract: There are provided a multi-point conference system and a multi-point conference device capable of using an SIP terminal as a conference terminal and clearly and smoothly performing speaker switching without requesting a conference terminal to transmit an intra frame when a speaker is detected. The multi-point connection device includes an image processing unit for accumulating in a memory (13), image data from the conference terminal participating in the conference, and decoding the image data on the speaker accumulated in the memory (13) and re-encoding the decoded image upon detection of a speaker in a medium processing unit (15). Upon switching of a speaker, the image processing unit re-encodes the first image as an intra frame and transmits the image data to conference terminals other than that of the speaker, so that the conference terminals other than that of the speaker can perform decoding from the intra frame, thereby clearly and smoothly performing the speaker switching.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Kouichi Matsumoto, Kazunori Ozawa
