Christopher S. McLennan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20170048289
    Abstract: It is possible to capture video information using one or more body mounted cameras, to transmit that information over a wireless communication channel, and to process that information, such as by using angular momentum information captured by gyroscopes, to obtain an image which is suitable for viewing in real time. This technology can be applied in a variety of contexts, such as sporting events, and can also be applied to information which is captured and stored for later use, either in addition to, or as an alternative to, streaming that information for real time viewing.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8996655
    Abstract: Data can be transferred between computers at remote sites by transferring the data itself, or by transferring files showing how data at an originating site can be recreated from data already present at a receiving site. As part of the data transfer, a determination can be made as to what is the most appropriate way for the transfer to take place. Further, in cases where data is not transferred directly between originating and receiving sites, it is possible that some preparatory steps might be performed to improve the efficiency of the transfers to the receiving sites when they do take place. Additional efficiencies can be obtained in some cases by using the parallel processing capabilities provided by a cloud based architecture.

  • Publication number: 20140229441
    Abstract: Data can be serialized in such a manner as to facilitate later delta encoding, even when the serialization is performed using a lossy compression algorithm or an algorithm in which portions of the serialized data are encoded relative to other portions which may be modified. This can be achieved by approaches including preserving keyframe information across modified versions of a file, duplicating information from a previously created compressed file when serializing a later version, or adding change information showing differences between versions of a file during the serialization process.
