  • Patent number: 8649516
    Abstract: A method for verifying the authenticity and integrity of an ordered sequence of digital video frames, without having access to the original recording, by embedding therein a respective series of digital signatures based on a secret key, or keys, and on the video content of respective frames. Signatures are camouflaged by embedding in transform coefficients of a transformed representation of the video data in parts of the frame corresponding to motion. If there is sufficient motion to contain all of the signature bits, a supplementary technique embeds in high-texture areas of a frame. A final fall-back is to embed in a pre-defined default zone. A method of predicting when supplementary embedding is needed enables the process to be applied in a single pass allowing real-time operation. Verification is done during decoding by comparing, for identity, embedded signatures with signatures calculated anew using the method employed to embed.

  • Publication number: 20130343731
    Abstract: The subject matter discloses a method, comprising obtaining a current retention time of storage associated with a digital recorder; obtaining current bitrates of channels used to transmit video captured by edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method then determines change in compression rates to be allocated to at least a portion of the channels according to the current retention time and the current bitrates and transmits the change in compression rates to be allocated to the channels to edge devices communicating with the digital recorder. The method can be implemented in a system in which several digital recorders use the same storage.

  • Patent number: 8615419
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for predicting customer churn from an organization. The method and apparatus determine an interaction churn score based on analyzing an interaction between the customer and the organization and related data. Optionally, the method and apparatus determine also a transactional churn score based on additional data related to the customer or the organization, and a combined churn score based on the interaction churn score and the transactional churn score. The interaction churn score is determined by assessing a categorization score for the interaction in association with one or more categories, and combining the categorization scores. Of further use is a retention offer mechanism for making a retention offer to the customer.

  • Patent number: 8594197
    Abstract: System and method for compressing and decompressing of differentially encoded video streams. I-frames of the encoded video stream may be relatively compressed and decompressed, thereby reducing video data size of an already encoded video stream. Compression and decompression may be lossless processes and may typically require relatively low processing power and small memory sizes.

  • Patent number: 8571853
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for laughter detection. Laughter is detected through the presence of a sequence of at least a predetermined number such as three consecutive bursts, each burst comprising a voiced portion and an unvoiced portion. After detecting bursts, n-tuples such as triplets are detected, and a likelihood of each burst N-tuple to represent laughter is provided by comparison to predetermined thresholds. Finally, a total score is assigned to the signal based on the grades associated with the triplets and parameters such as the distance between the N-tuples, the total score representing the probability that the audio signal comprises a laughter episode. The method and apparatus preferably comprise a training step and module for determining the thresholds according to manually marked audio signals.

  • Patent number: 8526620
    Abstract: A data provider generates a data encryption key and an identifier, uses the data encryption key to encrypt data, sends the encrypted data and the identifier to a data requestor, and sends the data encryption key and the identifier to a crypto information server. The data requestor sends the identifier to the crypto information server to request the encryption key. The crypto information server authenticates the data requestor and, contingent on that authentication, sends the data encryption key to the data requestor. If a plurality of data instances are captured, then for each instance, a respective data encryption key and identifier are generated.
