  • Publication number: 20120102066
    Abstract: A method, devices and an internet service is disclosed for carrying out an improved search. Audio features formed from audio data are associated with the image data. The audio features are formed by applying a transform to the audio data, for example to form mel-frequency cepstral coefficients from the audio data. A search criterion for the audio features is specified in addition to a search criterion for the image data. A search is carried out to find image data, and the search criterion for the audio features is used in the search.

  • Publication number: 20100121977
    Abstract: A sender in a wireless network may adjust the encoding bit rate of the transmitted content and/or the transmission bit rate of the content based on the predicted future channel throughput at a predicted future geographical position of a client mobile device, such as a cellular telephone. By appropriately adjusting the bit rate prior to the client mobile device experiencing the predicted low throughput, the likelihood of continuous content consumption by the client mobile device, even while experiencing the predicted low throughput conditions, may be increased. The prediction may be performed at the network side and/or at the client mobile device side.
