Patent number: 10045054Abstract: A device is configured to perform a method that detects a trigger marker for an action corresponding to a segment of a multimedia signal. A fingerprint is generated based on the segment of the multimedia signal at a trigger time point. The generated fingerprint is stored in a database and communicated to the device. During playback of the multimedia signal, fingerprints of segments of the multimedia signal are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, one or more associated actions for the segment are retrieved by the device. The trigger time point may be determined as a time point near or at the segment of the multimedia signal with the matched fingerprint. In this way, trigger markers for actions may be enabled without modifying the multimedia signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Job Cornelis Oostveen, Warner Rudolph Theophile Ten Kate, Adrianus Johannes Maria Denissen, David K.

Patent number: 10016574Abstract: The invention relates to a system (102) for providing biofeedback to a person (104). The system (102) comprises a source (106) for generating a source signal (108) and a transducer (110) for generating a measurement signal (112) in response to a physiological parameter (114) indicative for mental relaxation of the person (104). The system (102) furthermore comprises a filter (116) for variably filtering the source signal via modifying a cut-off frequency in response to the measurement signal (112) and an interface (118) for providing a biofeedback signal (119) to the person on the basis of the source signal as variably filtered by the filter (116).Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Mark Christoph Jaeger, Adrianus Johannes Maria Denissen, Murray Fulton Gillies

Publication number: 20150003799Abstract: This invention relates to a device and a method of generating a first and a second fingerprint (102,104) usable for synchronisation of at least two signals (101,103) and corresponding method and device for synchronising two or more signals. A fingerprint pair is generated on the basis of a segment of a first signal e.g. an audio signal and of a segment of a second signal e.g. a video signal at each synchronisation time point. The generated fingerprint pair(s) are stored in a database (203) and communicated or distributed to a synchronisation device (303). During synchronisation, fingerprint(s) of the audio signal and fingerprint(s) of the video signal to be synchronised are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, the fingerprints also determine the synchronisation time point, which is used to synchronise the two signals. In this way, a simple, reliable and efficient way of synchronising at least two signals is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Job Cornelis Oostveen, David K.

Patent number: 8560932Abstract: The subject matter hereof relates to error detection. Various example embodiments for error defection are disclosed. In an example method of error detection in a Module UnderTest (MUT), a parity signal representing the parity of an MUT output is compared to a parity signal representing the parity of an errorless MUT output. In an example system, an Actual Parity Generator provides a parity signal representing the parity of on MUT output, a State Parity Generator provides a parity signal representing the parity of an errorless MUT output, and a comparator compares these two parity signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2002Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Richard Petrus Kleihorst, Adrianus Johannes Maria Denissen, Andre Krijn Nieuwland, Nico Frits Benschop

Patent number: 8020000Abstract: This invention relates to a device and a method of relating one or more trigger actions with a multimedia signal and corresponding method and device for detecting one or more trigger actions in a multimedia signal. One fingerprint is generated on the basis of a segment of the multimedia signal at each trigger time point. The generated fingerprint(s) is stored in a database and communicated to playback devices. During playback fingerprints of the multimedia signal are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, associated trigger actions is retrieved. The trigger time point is determined as a time point near or at a segment of the multimedia signal that caused a fingerprint to match. In this way, a simple and reliable way of detecting trigger markers for trigger actions is enabled without modifying the multimedia signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2004Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Job Cornelis Oostveen, Warner Rudolph Theophile Ten Kate, Adrianus Johannes Maria Denissen, David Keith Roberts
