Patent number: 8826117Abstract: Disclosed are web-based systems and methods for editing digital videos. A graphical editing interface allows designating one or more videos to assemble into a video compilation. The graphical editing interface further allows specifying the portion of a constituent video of the video compilation that will be displayed when the video compilation is played. The graphical editing interface additionally allows the association of annotations—specifying, for example, slides, people, and highlights—with portions of the video. The associated annotations alter the appearance of the video compilation when it is played, such as by displaying slides, or text associated with the annotations, along with the video at times associated with the annotations. The associated annotations also enhance the interactivity of the video compilation, such as by allowing playback to begin at points of interest, such as portions of the video for which there is an associated annotation.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Ryan Junee, Simon Ratner, Julian Frumar

Patent number: 8826357Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adding and displaying interactive annotations for existing online hosted videos. A graphical annotation interface allows the creation of annotations and association of the annotations with a video. Annotations may be of different types and have different functionality, such as altering the appearance and/or behavior of an existing video, e.g. by supplementing it with text, allowing linking to other videos or web pages, or pausing playback of the video. Authentication of a user desiring to perform annotation of a video may be performed in various manners, such as by checking a uniform resource locator (URL) against an existing list, checking a user identifier against an access list, and the like. As a result of authentication, a user is accorded the appropriate annotation abilities, such as full annotation, no annotation, or annotation restricted to a particular temporal or spatial portion of the video.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael Fink, Ryan Junee, Sigalit Bar, Aviad Barzilai, Isaac Elias, Julian Frumar, Herbert Ho, Nir Kerem, Simon Ratner, Jasson Arthur Schrock, Ran Tavory

Publication number: 20130332960Abstract: A computing device provides a display of a plurality of channel previews for a plurality of channels in a channel control area in a user interface, the display distinguishing a first channel preview of the plurality of channel previews that pertains to a first channel of the plurality of channels. The computing device further provides a display of a first set of video previews for a first set of videos in a video control area in the user interface, wherein the first set of video previews is associated with the first channel preview. Responsive to the computing device receiving an input identifying a second channel preview of the plurality of channel previews that pertains to a second channel of the plurality of channels, the computing device replaces the first set of video previews in the video control area with a second set of video previews associated with the second channel preview.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Inventors: Kuan Loong Young, Ramesh Sarukkai, Simon Ratner, Julian Frumar

Patent number: 8291452Abstract: A method and system for browsing videos that are organized as channels. A browsing interface allows a user to browse videos with primarily a simple directional controller. The up and down inputs of the directional controller control navigation between levels of the interface such as search, playback control, full screen playback, video browsing and channel browsing. The left and right inputs of the directional controller control various options at the active level of the user interface and the select input allows the user to select an option. The user can browse various channels and videos within a channel to select media for playback. Videos in a channel play continuously to minimize input from the directional controller.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Kuan Loong Yong, Ramesh Sarukkai, Simon Ratner, Julian Frumar

Publication number: 20070162972Abstract: A method for upgrading one or more security applications, e.g., anti-spam, anti-virus, intrusion detection/prevention. The method includes deriving a second hardware logic from a security knowledge base. The method includes operating a computing system including a security device. The computer system is coupled to the one or more computer networks, e.g., local area networks, wide area networks, Internet. The security device has one or more security logic processors, which include one or more respective first hardware logic. The method transfers an FPGA image representative of at least the second hardware logic through the computer network to one or more first memory devices. The method includes temporarily halting one or more of the security logic processors at a predetermined portion of the stream of information according to a specific embodiment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2006Publication date: July 12, 2007Applicant: Sensory Networks, Inc.Inventors: Teewoon Tan, Simon Ratner, Darren Williams, Stephen Gould, Robert Barrie

Apparatus and method for accelerating intrusion detection and prevention systems using pre-filtering
Publication number: 20060191008Abstract: An accelerated network intrusion detection and prevention system includes, in part, first, second and third processing stages. The first processing stage receives incoming packets and generates, in response, first and second processed data streams using a first set of rules. The first processing stage optionally detects whether the received packets are suspected of attacking the network and places the received data packets in the first processed data stream. The second processing stage receives the first processed data stream and generates, in response, a third processed data stream using a second set of rules. The second processing stage optionally classifies the first processed data stream, that is suspected of launching a network attack, as either attacks or benign network traffic. A third processing stage receives and processes the second and third processed data streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Sensory Networks Inc.Inventors: Amila Fernando, Anthony Place, Simon Ratner, Teewoon Tan, Darren Williams, Robert Barrie, Stephen Gould
