Patent number: 12720099Abstract: A computer system for compacting video data. The system acquires a video stream, reduces redundancy through pre-processing, and analyzes the stream to identify patterns and irregularities. It detects spatial or temporal anomalies in the video and produces three outputs: a conditioned video stream based on statistical analysis, an error stream reflecting adjustments made during conditioning, and an anomaly meta-stream containing metadata about detected anomalies. The system communicates with one or more remote systems to synchronize and negotiate a compatible compression codebook, optionally exchanging compact updates that represent differences between local and remote codebooks. The conditioned video stream is then compressed using the agreed codebook.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2025Date of Patent: August 25, 2026Assignee: ATOMBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Joshua Cooper, Grant Fickes, Charles Yeomans
