Patent number: 9924289Abstract: MIDI-generated audio streams or other input streams of audio events are perceptually associated with specific locations in 3D space with respect to the listener. A conventional pan parameter is redefined so that it no longer specifies the relative balance between the audio being fed to two fixed speaker locations. Instead, the new MIDI pan parameter extension specifies a virtual position of an audio stream in 3D space. Preferably, the relative position of a single audio stream is set along a predefined arc in 3D space.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Creative Technology LtdInventors: Jean-Michel Trivi, Jean-Marc Jot, Thomas C Savell, Michael Guzewicz

Publication number: 20130262481Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for identifying video files on a webpage and streaming video files to a client device. A server receives browsing data including uniform resource locator for a webpage and identifies missing videos on the webpage. The server identifies a source file for the missing videos including identifying a location for each missing video. The server retrieves a thumbnail for each missing video and provides it to a client device. Additionally, the server transcodes the video file responsive to a user input provided by a user. The transcoded video is streamed to the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: Skyfire Labs, Inc.Inventors: Nitin Bhandari, Erik R. Swenson, Geoffrey Dale Benson, Ishika Paul, James Marzano, Jaime Heilpern, Robert Oberhofer, Michael Guzewicz, Vijay Kumar

Patent number: 8443398Abstract: Systems and methods pertaining to a client-server architecture for communicating video frames across a network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a first engine residing on a first device, with the first engine adapted to encode a succession of video frames of a user interface of a program for transmission across the network. The encoding of the video frames is based on one or more feedback parameters and includes video compression techniques. In the same embodiment, the system includes a first command process engine operatively coupled to the program. In the same embodiment, the system includes a second engine residing on a second device, the second engine adapted to decode the succession of video frames after transmission across the network. In the same embodiment, the system includes a second command process engine operatively coupled to the first command process engine and adapted to communicate user input of the second device to the program via the first command process engine.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Skyfire Labs, Inc.Inventors: Erik R.

Patent number: 5763800Abstract: An audio data format in which an instrument is described using a combination of sound samples and articulation instructions which determine modifications made to the sound sample is provided. The instruments form a first, initial layer, with a second layer having presets which can user defined to provide additional articulation instructions which can modify the articulation instructions at the instrument level. The articulation instructions are specified using various parameters. The present invention provides a format in which all of the parameters are specified in units which relate to a physical phenomena, and thus are not tied to any particular machine for creating or playing the audio samples. The articulation parameters include generators and modulators, which provide a connection between a real-time signal and a generator. The parameter units are specified in perceptually additive units, to make the data portable and easily edited.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1995Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Creative Labs, Inc.Inventors: David P.
