Patent number: 10320502Abstract: A system may allow users to automatically record radio programs for later consumption. When a user is listening to a radio program in the car, and arrives at the destination, the user's mobile device may capture an audio sample of the radio station, along with a GPS location of the user, and may transmit this information to a radio station application server. The server may use the location to identify a list of candidate radio stations, and may compare the audio sample with reference recordings of the candidate radio stations, to identify the radio station and program. The program may then be recorded for the user and subsequently played back at the user's convenience and on a device selected by the user, such as a mobile device, television, computer, DVR, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventor: Chris Kennedy

Patent number: 10244234Abstract: Disclosed by way of example embodiments are a system and a computer implemented method for adaptively encoding a video by changing compression rates for different frames of the video. In one aspect, two frames of a video are compared to determine a compression rate for compressing one of the two frames. Hash images may be generated for corresponding frames for the comparison. By comparing two hash images, a number of stationary objects and a number of moving objects in the two frames may be determined. Moreover, a compression rate may be determined according to the number of stationary objects and the number of moving objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Ellation, Inc.Inventor: Chris Kennedy
