Publication number: 20160330257Abstract: Content filtering of data containers of multiple content types is performed using multiple filtering modules operating concurrently. An apparatus for content filtering has a set of content-specific filtering modules and a network interface for parsing a received data container into components and directing each component to a respective filtering module. A filtering module edits a component of a specific content type according to respective rules. A multiplexer combines edited components produced by the set of filtering modules to form an edited data container. A root module applies a set of basic rules to a data container and any attachments. In an alternative configuration, the apparatus employs multiple filtering modules each applying rules for all content types. Received data containers are distributed among the filtering modules and an output module arranges edited data containers of a data stream in proper sequential order.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Richard Elliott NORTON, Louis-Rene Poirier-Beauchemin, Robert HÉROUX, Joseph Leo Claude Mario LAVALLIERE

Patent number: 8959635Abstract: A method for conditioning multimedia containers to be compatible with decoding facilities of receivers of diverse types is disclosed. Content of a multimedia container may include components of different encoding formats. Container conditioning also detects and, where feasible, removes undesirable insertions within each content component of a multimedia container. A content component of a container may be filtered, re-encoded, or deleted. Notifications indicating conditions of a container and any modifications performed are appended to the container. A notification may be presented in at least one form compatible with characteristics of a respective receiver. An editing engine implementing the method is associated with a network entity to which multimedia containers are directed. The editing engine accesses a receiver database storing information on several types of receivers and a repository of notification templates encoded in several forms.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Vantrix CorporationInventors: Richard Elliott Norton, Joseph Leo Claude Mario Lavalliere

Patent number: 8250241Abstract: A method of receiving and forwarding a multimedia message is provided. The multimedia message is adapted with a first adaptation profile into a first adapted message to be received in a first device. The multimedia message and the first adapted message are stored in a media cache. The message may then be forwarded from the first device to a second device that has a second adaptation profile by retrieving the first adapted message from the media cache and sending it to the second device if the first and second adaptation profiles match, otherwise the multimedia message is retrieved from the media cache and adapted with the second adaptation profile into a second adapted message that is then sent to the second device. In addition, the second adapted message is stored in the media cache. A corresponding system for processing and forwarding the multimedia message is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Vantrix CorporationInventors: Xavier Lévéque, Richard Elliott Norton, Joseph Leo Claude Mario Lavalliere
