  • Method and system for facilitating instant messaging transactions between disparate service providers
    Patent number: 7249161
    Abstract: A method and system is described for facilitating instant messaging (IM) between a first user with an address that includes a first domain name and a second user with an address that includes a second domain name different from the first. A substitute address is chosen that includes the second domain name and is mapped to the first address. An IM sent from the first user to the second is copied and re-addressed to be sent from the substitute address. This maintains consistency of domain names between the addressor and addressee, allowing existing IM systems that inhibit IM between incompatible IMSPs to deliver the message.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 24, 2007
    Assignee: Nokia Corporation

  • Apparatus, and associated method, for selecting an encoding rate by which to encode video frames of a video sequence
    Patent number: 6741648
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for selecting the encoding bit rate at which an encoder encodes selected video frames of a sequence of video frames at a video sending device. Selection is made to provide a constant-consistency quality level and constant frame rate of display of the video frames at a video receiving device. Selection of the encoding bit rate is made responsive to a targeted frame rate and allowable communication rates upon a communication channel upon which encoded representations of the video frames are to be communicated.
