Patents by Inventor Jerome Dufour

Jerome Dufour 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).

  • Patent number: 11553022
    Abstract: A method, receiver device and terminal for signaling an adaptation request to adapt a coding/decoding of real-time signals of a real-time communication session, from a receiver device to a sender device. The method is such that the adaptation request relates to a demand for aggregation and/or redundancy of frames, that it is generated according to the existence of a signaling parameter arising from a phase of negotiation of codecs used during initialization of the communication session and in that it is transported via a real-time protocol of RTP type.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11349898
    Abstract: A method for adapting an encoding bitrate of real-time signals of a real-time communication session between sender devices and receiver devices of communication terminals. A sender device includes a multi-bitrate encoder using a set of discrete bitrates. The method includes a test step of increasing the encoding bitrate at the sender device by transmitting at least one redundant packet according to selected transmission parameters. A method is also provided for determining a request to adapt the encoding bitrate of real-time signals in order to implement a test of increasing the encoding bitrate at the sender device by transmitting at least one redundant packet according to selected transmission parameters. A sender device and a receiver device implementing the methods are provides as well as a terminal containing these devices.
