  • Patent number: 11324399
    Abstract: A method for determining a pupillary distance of an individual, includes the following steps: —displaying an object on a screen located in front of the individual, the displayed object being positioned at a location in front of one eye of the individual; —instructing the individual to look with at least the eye at the displayed object; —acquiring at least an image of a part of the body of the individual including the eye; —determining the location of a plurality of specific features in the acquired image, one of the specific features being a pupil of the eye of the individual; and —calculating the pupillary distance based on the location of the plurality of specific features. A corresponding system is also described.

  • Patent number: 8903840
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program for automatically launching a target application based on characteristics of a selected string of characters in a source application includes the steps of receiving a command resulting from a user's action, selecting a string of characters in a source application; identifying among one or a plurality of predefined regular expressions, a regular expression matching the selected string of character; identifying a predefined data type previously associated with the source application and the regular expression matching the selected string of character; identifying a predefined target application previously associated with the identified data type and the source application; and launching the target application.

  • Patent number: 7903674
    Abstract: A method and system of managing one or more sessions in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multi-Media service (IMS) in which a session provides a stream of data of a specific protocol in order to provide a service to a user is provided. The method in one aspect includes storing details of a session for each user in a storage media, updating the storage media if there are changes to the session and using the details of the session to optimize the bandwidth and scheduling of the service as a whole.

  • Publication number: 20070005792
    Abstract: A method for managing bandwidth for transmitting the content of a video to users requesting the content. The total time duration T of the video is divided into N consecutive sessions. A unicast or multicast connection in normal play mode may be created for each session only at discrete times separated by a time increment ?T equal to T/N. An overall bandwidth B is established for transmitting the content of the video to the users. The overall bandwidth B is divided into a first part B1 and a second part B2. The first part B1 is allocated to a normal play mode of the video during the N sessions such that B1=N*R, where R is the bit transmission rate of the video. The second part B2 is allocated to unicast sessions dedicated to implementation of at least one non-normal streaming mode of the video.
