  • Patent number: 8798169
    Abstract: In order to further develop a method for summarizing at least one data stream (12) as well as a corresponding data summarization system (100) comprising at least one receiving means (10) for receiving at least one data stream (12) in such way that at least one summary is available immediately after receiving of the data stream (12), in particular immediately after content acquisition and/or recording and/or encoding and/or decoding of the data stream without any post-processing operation, it is proposed to provide—at least one selecting means (30) for selecting part (32, 32?) of the data stream portions and at least one processing means (70) for generating at least one summary by summarizing at least part of the selected data stream portions (32?) in particular until at least one predetermined summary volume is obtained, wherein the summary is generated during the receiving of the data stream (12).

  • Patent number: 8319890
    Abstract: Arrangement for generating a pull-down switch-off signal The invention relates to an arrangement (1) for generating a pulldown switch-off signal for a video compression encoder, which signal is determined by the arrangement (1) in dependence on a converted signal which is produced from an NTSC signal by means of an inverse 3:2 pull down conversion, wherein the circuit arrangement includes a M(ean) A(bsolute) D(istortion) (MAD) detector (2) and a circuit (3) for determining Hadamard coefficients, wherein the MAD detector (2) produces a MAD signal which indicates for each block of predefined size the difference between the picture contents of two consecutive frames, wherein the circuit (3) for determining the Hadamard coefficients delivers two coefficients in blocks per frame, from which coefficients a first coefficient indicates the sum of the differences of the pixels of adjacent scanning lines i and i+1 and a second coefficient indicates the sum of the differences of the pixels of scanning lines i and i+2, a
