Patent number: 9014530Abstract: A system comprises a movie clip environment in which a movie clip object is defined, and a native application that is external to the movie clip environment. The native application renders an image to an off-screen surface of the system. A composition manager is responsive to communications from the movie clip object to control where the off-screen surface is to be rendered on a display screen. The composition manager may be responsive to communications from the movie clip object to direct the native application to control one or more properties of the image of the off-screen surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: 2236008 Ontario Inc.Inventors: Dan Dodge, Paul Streatch, Roger Maclean

Patent number: 8976187Abstract: A system aids composited graphics rendering. A script and corresponding virtual machine engine code may be stored in memory. An off-screen buffer is generated in the memory by the script. The off-screen buffer includes an extended stage having first a buffer portion. The buffer portion may include pre-rendered graphical object. An on-screen buffer may include a composition of the pre-rendered graphical objects of the extended stage. The script renders a graphical change to the on-screen buffer using independent block copying, from the extended stage to corresponding target areas in the on-screen buffer, of one or more of the pre-rendered graphics of the extended stage area affected by the graphical changes.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: 2236008 Ontario, Inc.Inventors: Paul Streatch, Roger MacLean, Dan Dodge

Publication number: 20070081794Abstract: A method and system for encoding and recording data in a multi-stream format when the data is initially captured. The multiple streams of data can be combined to provide a high quality, or high resolution, representation, while a reduced subset of the streams can provide a lower quality, or lower resolution, representation. Data storage requirements can be reduced, by deleting one or more of the streams, when there is no longer a need for retention of the data at the higher quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Inventors: Michael Baynger, Paul Streatch, Roger MACLEAN, Kenneth MAUGHAN

Publication number: 20070033632Abstract: A method and apparatus forming a user interface for examining and retrieving audio/video/data content from digital video recorders. This includes an improved time period selection mechanism, a rich array of temporal data presentations, such as timelines, lists, and thumbnail images, and a unified method of displaying content from either a direct stream or downloaded files. Summary information is provided relating to undownloaded content based on a selected time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: February 8, 2007Applicant: MARCH NETWORKS CORPORATIONInventors: Michael BAYNGER, Paul STREATCH, Roger MacLEAN, Kenneth MAUGHAN

Patent number: 6810526Abstract: A system for monitoring broadcast channels, includes a device for receiving a plurality of broadcast channels, a central search engine operable to search the received channels for a match with a pre-stored profile, a central memory connected to the search engine for storing the profile, and a plurality of user terminals connected to the search engine over a network. The search engine is responsive to commands from the user terminals to store the profiles to be searched in the memory in association with the identity of the user terminal from which the command was received. A device sends an alert signal over the network when a match is found with a pre-stored profile to the user terminal associated with the pre-stored profile. The alert signal identifies the broadcast channel matching the pre-stored profile.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1999Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: March Networks CorporationInventors: Rob Menard, Paul Streatch, Roger MacLean, Jim Reed

Patent number: 6633651Abstract: A method of detecting video sequences involves creating on-the-fly candidate digital signatures uniquely characteristic of successive groups of frames in accordance with a predetermined algorithm. The candidate digital signatures are compared with at least one signature of a stored sequence created in accordance with the predetermined algorithm. A candidate is identified as corresponding to the stored sequence in the event of a positive match.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1999Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: March Networks CorporationInventors: Nael Hirzalla, Paul Streatch, Roger MacLean, Robert Menard

Patent number: 6415000Abstract: A method of processing a video stream, involves contemporaneously selecting first and second pairs of frames in the video stream with a predetermined period. The second pairs of frames have a longer period than the first pair. For each of the first and second pairs of frames, there is determined a difference value representing the number of pixels whose value has changed between the first and second frames of the pair. A particular logic level is generated depending on whether this difference value exceeds a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1999Date of Patent: July 2, 2002Assignee: March Networks CorporationInventors: Nael Hirzalla, Paul Streatch, Roger MacLean, Rob Menard

Patent number: 6397209Abstract: A method of organizing electronic documents for storage and subsequent retrieval, involves storing a summary structure describing the structure of summary records associated with each document. Each structured summary record has at least one descriptor field representative of a characteristic of the document. Predefined field entries identify a characteristic of the document. Predefined keyword criteria associated with the field entries are stored. Each document is analyzed to build a text index listing the occurrence of unique significant words in the document. The text index is compared with the keyword criteria to determine the appropriate field entry for the document. For example, one descriptor field might related to topic, which could have the field entries of “financial” or “sports”. The preponderance of certain keyword criteria, such as “money” or “shares” would identify the document with the financial topic.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Telexis CorporationInventors: Jim Reed, Paul Streatch

Patent number: 6061056Abstract: A system for monitoring standard broadcast signals, comprises a device for receiving the broadcast signals, a user-operable selection device for inputting criteria identifying program content of interest to the user, a database for storing data representing the criteria, and a recognition device for generating from the broadcast signals a program data stream representative of the program content. A comparator for compares the program data with the stored data, and an output device carries out a predetermined action, such recording a segment of the program, when the program data matches the stored data. The system will, for example, activate a window on a multimedia PC when preselected program material is present in the broadcast signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1997Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: Telexis CorporationInventors: Robert Menard, Roger MacLean, Paul Streatch
