Abstract: A computer-assisted method for producing a space time summary for one or more original videos includes automatically recognizing a key element in an original video, extracting pixels related to the key element from a series of video frames of the original video, producing a video bit comprising a series of video frames comprising the pixels and audio information extracted from the original video, wherein at least one video frame of the video bit is formed by a subset of pixels of the corresponding video frame in the original video, automatically displaying a plurality of video bits in a user interface, wherein the plurality of video bits are extracted from one or more original videos, and provide a space time summary for the one or more original videos, and allowing two of the plurality of video bits to be played simultaneously with audio and motion in the user interface.

Abstract: Applicable to two-way communication over the electricity network between a plurality of user equipments (2) and a head-end equipment (1); characterized in that the receptors in the equipment (1, 2) continually monitor communication quality by estimating signal to noise ratio (S/N) in the individual carriers in the upstream and downstream channels. The user equipments monitor the state of the network at each moment in time independent of whether or not the transmission is destination for them. Optimum transmission mode is chosen as a result of this monitoring by means of modifying, packet by packet, the number of bits per carrier, the redundancy introduced by a FEC generator (forward error correction/detection), the FEC code, and/or the transmission mode; so as to achieve optimum sharing of the network in time and frequency at all times and to maximize the transmission capacity of the various user equipments by the network.
