Patent number: 9635373Abstract: A digital video transmission system that operates with three different video rendering paths. A first rendering path operates by receiving display requests and rendering bit-mapped graphics in a local screen buffer. The display information in that local screen buffer is then encoded and transmitted to a remote display system that recreates the content of that local screen buffer in a video buffer of remote display system. A second rendering path operates by receiving encoded video stream requests that can be decoded by the remote display system. Such encoded video streams are sent to the remote display system with minimal addition transport encoding. The third rendering path handles encoded video streams that cannot be handled natively by the remote display system. Such video streams may be either transcoded before transmission or decoded and stored within the local screen buffer.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: nComputing, Inc.Inventors: Subir Ghosh, Gabriele Sartori

Patent number: 9432442Abstract: Thin-client terminal systems allow server computer systems to be shared by multiple computer users. However, thin-client terminal systems that use analog signals can only be placed a limited distance from the main server computer system. On the other hand, thin-client terminal systems that rely purely on digital signals can be expensive to produce. A thin-client multiplier that combines the two different approaches communicates digitally with main server computer system such that it can be placed any distance from the main server computer system. The thin-client multiplier also provides output information received from the server system and electrical power to analog thin-client terminal systems and receives input information from the analog thin-client terminal systems. The received input information is provided to the server system for processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: nComputing Inc.Inventor: Gabriele Sartori

Patent number: 9411760Abstract: In a system and method for a thin-client terminal system having a local screen buffer using a serial bus, a serial bus interface device receives encoded data from a thin-client server system. The serial bus interface device decodes the encoded data according to a serial bus data format and provides the decoded data to a thin-client control system. The thin-client control system distributes the decoded data for processing to a video processing system, an audio processing system, and an input/output control system. The thin-client control system also receives input data from input devices connected to the thin-client terminal system. The input data is processed and encoded according to the serial bus data format for transmission to the thin-client server system.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: nComputing Inc.Inventors: Gabriele Sartori, Subir Ghosh, William Liao

Patent number: 8891545Abstract: Thin-client terminal systems allow computer systems to be shared by multiple computer users. With modern technology, the cost of implementing a thin-client terminal system can be very low. To improve thin-client terminal systems, a thin-client terminal system accepts user input data in a first serial interface format and transcodes the user input data into a second serial interface format for transmission to a server.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: nComputing Inc.Inventors: Gabriele Sartori, Subir Ghosh, Nikolay Kovach

Patent number: 8800017Abstract: A device and a method of authenticating an electronic device are described. The method may comprise transmitting a token value and a parameter value to the electronic device and selecting a private key within the electronic device using the parameter value. The token value may be processed with a method selected by the parameter value to generate a processed token. The processed token may be compared with an expected processed token and the electronic device may be authenticated if the processed token compares favorably with said expected processed token.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: nComputing, Inc.Inventors: Subir Ghosh, Gabriele Sartori

Patent number: 8681811Abstract: Techniques for use within computer systems that communicate with multiple different terminal systems using multiple different terminal protocols are disclosed. In one embodiment, a partial protocol converter module is installed in a computer server system to enable the computer server system to communicate with terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module directly accesses a screen buffer in the computer server system that is associated with the terminal systems that use terminal protocol other than the terminal protocol used natively by the computer server system. The partial protocol converter module detects updates to the screen buffer and encodes these display screen updates into a message using the native protocol used by the terminal system and then transmits that encoded message to the terminal system.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: nComputing Inc.Inventors: Sergey Kipnis, Klaus A.

Publication number: 20090322784Abstract: A digital video transmission system that improves performance using 3D graphics acceleration hardware. A first system creates a virtual 3D graphics card for each terminal session executing on a server system that supports multiple users. The virtual 3D graphics card is assigned a share of processing ability on a physical 3D graphics accelerator. The virtual 3D graphics card uses the share of processing ability on the physical 3D graphics accelerator to render 3D graphics in a local screen buffer associated with the terminal session. The local screen buffer is encoded and transmitted to a remote display that recreates the screen display in a video buffer of remote display. A second system operates by using a physical 3D graphics accelerator in a server system to perform transcoding for multiple video streams. To best perform task switching, the task switching is performed on I-frame borders.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventor: Gabriele Sartori

Publication number: 20080228998Abstract: The subject specification discloses flash memory device with the capability of performing both internal compression as well as internal de-compression. Each of these actions takes place through appropriate algorithms. In normal operation, the compression occurs prior to a writing of data in a flash memory device. The compressed data travels to a storage location. The de-compression occurs after the reading of stored data and de-compressed data travels to an external system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2007Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: SPANSION LLCInventors: Roberto Colecchia, Gabriele Sartori
