Patents by Inventor Kim-Huei Low

Kim-Huei Low 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: 11489621
    Abstract: A current frame in a sequence is encoded at a first bitrate to generate one or more encoded source frames. One or more previous frames in the sequence are encoded at a second bitrate that is lower than the first bitrate to generate one or more encoded FEC frames. The one or more encoded source frames and the one or more encoded FEC frames are packetized into one or more data packets.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210281890
    Abstract: Non-volatile memory over fabric (NVMe-oF) is used to stream video, computer games, and the like to client devices from network storage embodied by solid state storage devices (SSDs). To provide for redundancy, multiple copies of a single piece of content, e.g., a computer game or video file, are stored on multiple SSDs. To provide information to address the block-level storage based on a client demand for the content, a data structure correlates each content with the SSDs and related block numbers at which the content is stored. Sourcing of the content as it is being streamed may be dynamically switched between SSDs to provide for load balancing or loss of a SSD.

  • Patent number: 10979175
    Abstract: Encoded information corresponding to the encoded source frames and the one or more previous frames is unpackaged from each data packet. Each data packet in the plurality contains encoded information corresponding to a source frame in a sequence encoded at a first bitrate and one or more previous frames in the sequence encoded as forward error correction (FEC) frames at a second bitrate that is equal to or lower than the first bitrate. The encoded source frames are decoded to generate corresponding decoded source frames. Encoded FEC frames that correspond to a given source frame for which encoded information is missing are decoded to generate corresponding decoded FEC frames. A reconstructed frame is generated corresponding to the given source frame using the one or more decoded FEC frames. The decoded source to frames and the reconstructed missing frame are stored in a memory and/or presented with a display.

  • Patent number: 10447430
    Abstract: A current frame in a sequence and one or more previous frames in the sequence may be encoded and decoded with forward error correction (FEC). The current frame is encoded at a first bitrate to generate one or more encoded source frames and the one or more previous frames are encoded at an equal or lower second bitrate to generate one or more encoded FEC frames. The encoded source frame(s) and FEC frame(s) are packetized into one or more data packets, which are stored in a memory or transmitted over a data network. The encoded source frame information and previous frame information is unpackaged from the packets and the encoded source frames are decoded. If given source frame of the sequence is missing, one or more encoded FEC frames that correspond to the given source frame are identified from among the data packets and decoded and used to reconstruct the given frame.
