Patent number: 7546554Abstract: The multimedia content browsing system for small mobile devices smoothly blends three key tasks: querying the multimedia contents by keywords, exploring the search results by viewing keyframes of the multimedia contents, and playing a stream of the multimedia contents, e.g., videos or video segments. Videos can be stored in a segment-based multimedia content database, which is designed to support the browsing, retrieval, and reuse of videos. A layered imaging model is introduced where each layer may have its own transparent value set individually, continuously, and interactively, and the layers can overlap on top of each other when rendered on the screen. Since a small mobile device alone may not have enough resources to handle the entire task of multimedia content browsing, a scalable architecture can be adopted to break up the task among the small mobile device, a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), and a resource-rich computing device.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Chiu, Maryam Kamvar, Tohru Fuse, Surapong Lertsithichai, Sandeep Casi, Lynn D.

Patent number: 7434153Abstract: A system and method for authoring a media presentation including a media presentation environment representation having a portion defined as a hot spot associated with a media presentation device. Various embodiments include a hyper-slide listing portion, a media presentation authoring portion, and/or a media presentation device listing portion. Various embodiments include an integrated presentation authoring preview environment. The method includes selecting a physical device for a presentation unit in the media presentation environment, manipulating a visual representation of the presentation unit, recording a display of the presentation unit, and previewing the presentation in an augmented reality environment, a virtual reality environment, or both. Various embodiments operate with a plurality of types of media presentation devices and a plurality of each type of device.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Qiong Liu, Donald Kimber, Patrick Chiu, Surapong Lertsithichai, Chunyuan Liao, Hangjin Zhang

Patent number: 7079142Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and updating interactive 3D visualizations of media indices wherein separate indices are located above and below a ground plane. The indices are organized in table structure defined by two axes and provide links to the media that is indexed. Various visual characteristics of the indices communicate characteristics of the media that is indexed as well as various user defined or group defined information relating to the indexed media.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Chiu, Tohru Fuse, Kyuman Song, Laurent Denoue, Surapong Lertsithichai, Lynn Wilcox
