Patent number: 9661376Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for reconstruction video information lost as a result of transmission errors. The system and method have four aspects, including: (1) changing the bit and/or packet rate; (2) inserting redundant information into the video bitstream; (3) providing automatic refresh of certain regions of the video on a periodic basis; and (4) interleaving coded macroblocks into diversity groups for transmission to spatially spread the effect of lost packets. The image reconstruction may then take advantage of these three aspects to provide an enhanced result in the presence of transmission losses.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2005Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Botzko, Ilan Yona, Moshe Elbaz, Michael Horowitz

Patent number: 8805928Abstract: The present invention is a system and a method for providing a control unit for a multipoint multimedia/audio conference that enables one or more participants to take part in more than one conference simultaneously. The control unit can operate in audio and/or video sections of an MCU and/or Management and Control System (MCS). The MCS, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, controls the participation of at least one participant in more than one conference simultaneously by using a Cross-Conference Database (CCDB). The MCU performs connection changes affecting which participants are associated with one or more conferences based on the information that is stored in the CCDB.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Sergey Potekhin, Eran Knaz, Moshe Elbaz, Eyal Leviav

Patent number: 8223191Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for reducing delay in video communication, including, for example, video transcoding and continuous presence in a multipoint multimedia conference. The video communication control unit reduces such delay by processing a video stream in a small number of macroblocks referred to as “chunks,” without waiting to get a full frame of video data. Instead, the incoming video stream is converted into decoded chunks. These decoded chunks are transferred to an output module without waiting to decode an entire frame. An encoder in the output module encodes the decoded chunks (also referred to as encoder chunks), and transfers them to an end user without waiting for the entire frame to be processed. Thus, reducing the delay in waiting for the entire frame of video data provides improved real-time video communication.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Moshe Elbaz, Noam Eshkoli, Ilan Yona, Aviv Eisenberg

Patent number: 7818772Abstract: A system and method for improving quality of video communication includes a packets generator logical unit (PGU) coupled to a video source for receiving a compressed video stream and generating primary and secondary data chunks for transmittal to one or more destination nodes via a network. Each primary data chunk is associated with a secondary data chunk, and each secondary data chunk includes video data that covers a same portion of a video frame as video data included in each associated primary data chunk. The PGU encapsulates the primary and secondary data chunks in associated primary-secondary packet pairs composed of MB data fields, picture header fields, GOB and slice start header fields, and MB header fields, among others. The destination nodes process the secondary packets received via the network if the primary packets are damaged or lost in transmission.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Ilan Yona, Moshe Elbaz

Patent number: 7542068Abstract: In an embodiment, a videoconference system is provided in which a conference can be controlled by an end user (e.g., a participant of the conference) without the assistance of an operator. In another embodiment, the end user is presented with a graphical feature on an image associated with an ongoing conference that links to a menu, which in turn links to routines for selecting various options that change the setup of the conference. In yet another embodiment, the parameters of the conference can be changed while the conference is ongoing. In a further embodiment, the conference control unit includes a menu generator. Any combination of the above embodiments can be used together in one embodiment.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2003Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Noam Eshkoli, Moshe Elbaz

Patent number: 7245660Abstract: A system for controlling a conference that takes input streams from a variety of sources, at least some of the streams having a relatively low-resolution, and composes the input streams into a single output stream of a relatively high-resolution. In doing the conversion the system takes intra Macro Blocks (MBs) of the input stream and produces inter output frames. As part of the conversion process, the system converts the Groups Of Blocks (GOBs) that have GOB headers into slices.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Polycom, Inc.Inventors: Ilan Yona, Moshe Elbaz

Patent number: 7156588Abstract: A cutting head for a rotating cutting tool for metal cutting operations. The cutting head has an axially adjustable cartridge which is an integral single piece. A slit divides the cartridge into a clamping portion and a main body portion, the clamping portion being resiliently connected to the main body portion. An insert pocket for retaining a cutting insert is formed by a widening of the slit so that the cutting insert is securely retained in the insert pocket between the main body portion and the clamping portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Iscar Ltd.Inventors: Moshe Elbaz, Henri Shahin

Patent number: 7054820Abstract: A multipoint controller unit in which the audio signal processing is distributed among several audio ports. The control of the audio signal processing may be centrally or distributively managed by one or more audio controllers. The audio signal processing may include selecting audio streams from a common interface and/or mixing the signals from the common interface. Each audio port may enhance the audio signal and generate control information from the audio signal. The audio ports are synchronized by a common information channel while the audio controllers are synchronized by a common control channel interface. Port fragmentation is reduced since the audio signal processing that relates to an endpoint within a conference is handled by a single audio port.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2002Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Polycom Israel, Inc.Inventors: Sergey Potekhin, Eran Knaz, Moshe Carmi, Moshe Elbaz

Patent number: 6757005Abstract: An improved method and a system of utilizing the decoding/encoding video resources of a Video Processing Device (VPD) by offering a distributed architecture. A conventional VPD comprises a plurality of video ports, each video port is dedicated to a user and comprises at least one decoder and one encoder. The distributed VPD comprises a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. Each input port includes an input module. The input module is operative to receive a compressed video input stream, manipulate the compressed video stream into a primary stream and optionally generate a secondary data stream associated with the primary data stream. A variety of levels of service for a session can be offered. A client may select the number of ports that will be used by the session. For example, a single port may multicast its compressed output video stream to all the destinations within a session, or to all destinations within a plurality of ports.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2001Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Polycom Israel, Ltd.Inventors: Moshe Elbaz, Noam Eshkoli, Ilan Yona, Aviv Eiesenberg
