  • Compressed video
    Patent number: 9179143
    Abstract: A method of compressing digital data comprising the steps of: (i) reading digital data as series of binary coded words representing a context and a codeword to be compressed; (ii) calculating distribution output data for the input data and assigning variable length codewords to the result; and (iii) periodically recalculating the codewords in accordance with a predetermined schedule, in order to continuously update the codewords and their lengths.

  • Method for enabling efficient navigation of video
    Patent number: 8255802
    Abstract: A method of facilitating navigation of a sequence of source images the method using tokens representing each source image which are scaled versions of each source image and which are arranged adjacently on a display device in a continuous band of token images so that a pointer device can point to a token and the identity of the corresponding image is available for further processing.
