Patent number: 10950073Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for recording video data of an event. The apparatuses include a processor communicating with memory. The memory stores video data of the event captured by a camera, and the video data includes a series of picture frames of the event. A loop buffer also stores video data of the event captured by the camera. A rule-based engine stored in the memory uses a set of rules to store the contents of the loop buffer in the memory. The apparatus utilizes the loop buffer to provide video data prior to occurrence of the event.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Chanyu Holdings, LLCInventors: Barrett Morris Kreiner, Joseph E. Page, Jr.

Patent number: 8892839Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, and storage mediums for managing content storage and selection activities. The method includes aggregating content from content providers and presenting the content to a content device. The method also includes monitoring consumption of storage space with respect to storage capacity in the content device, relocating content contained in the storage space of the content device when a predetermined condition is met, and providing access to relocated content. The relocation is operable for freeing up the storage space of the content device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Chanyu Holdings, LLCInventors: Barbara J.

Patent number: 8848694Abstract: Providing high quality voice/sound communications over a local loop of a telephone network is disclosed. The method includes receiving a voice signal, digitizing the voice signal into a high quality voice signal, utilizing sampling rates and/or sizes above the threshold, negotiating voice processing characteristics between a customer premises equipment and a network element, receiving speech at a customer premises equipment according to the negotiation, converting the received speech into high bandwidth signal and transmitting the high bandwidth signal to a telephone local loop, transmitting the high bandwidth signal from the local loop to wideband node that packetizes the high bandwidth signal for transmission to a packet network and receiving the packetized signal from the packet network at a switch that switches between an on-network or off-network status. A voice over IP platform can route packetized signals from the packet network to the telephone network or another packet network.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Chanyu Holdings, LLCInventors: Farhad Barzegar, Irwin Gerszberg, Thomas W. Hill, Jr., Scott Joseph Mollica

Patent number: 8682987Abstract: A method for providing electronic mail return receipts with video of the electronic mail recipient is disclosed. The electronic mail recipient opens an electronic mail message which initiates recording of the electronic mail recipient. The recording may be terminated when the recipient closes the electronic mail or minimizes the electronic mail message window. Recording may also end after a predetermined amount of time after the electronic mail message is opened.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Chanyu Holdings, LLCInventor: Cedric G. DeLaCruz

Patent number: 8665742Abstract: A method for improving the performance for a streaming service by link-adaptation and power-control in a wireless packet network such as an Enhanced General Packet Radio Services (EGPRS) cellular network is described. In particular, the effects of a combined link adaptation and power control scheme (referred to as an error-based scheme) for achieving a target error rate, which is non-zero but low enough so that limited retransmission and error concealment techniques are effective, is presented.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Chanyu Holdings, LLCInventors: Kin K. Leung, Kapil K. Chawla, Peter F. Driessen, Xiaoxin Qiu

Publication number: 20120306677Abstract: A method includes receiving digital audio data at an audio adjustment system. The method includes converting a portion of the digital audio data to an analog audio signal with a digital-to-analog converter of the audio adjustment system to form a sample analog audio signal. The method includes determining a dynamic range of the sample analog audio signal with the audio adjustment system. The method also includes modifying a metadata parameter of the digital audio data with the audio adjustment system when the dynamic range of the sample analog audio signal is below a threshold. The metadata parameter is a dialog normalization parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: CHANYU HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Douglas Medina, Larry Kennedy, Frank Robert Coppa
