Abstract: Disclosed herein are switch devices in terminal ends of a network and methods of using same. One embodiment relates to a terminal end of a network including a terminal end transceiver configured to communicate with one or more end user devices, and a switch device configured to automatically route communication at the terminal end transceiver between a primary communication path with a central office and an auxiliary communication path with the central office. Another embodiment relates to a method of switching between primary and auxiliary communication paths at a terminal end. Automatic switching is particularly applicable in a looped communication architecture with redundant communication paths for preventing interruption and increasing reliability for an improved user experience. Another embodiment relates to indexing with splices to reduce connections in a communication path and increase signal quality.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for annotating a video frame generated by a video game. A video game model that associates element tags with elements of the video game may be generated. The video game model may be applied by a video game overlay executing concurrently with the video game. The video game overlay may receive a remote user input from one or more remote devices over a network. The remote user input may be multiplexed and/or normalized, and subsequently parsed by applying the video game model to extract an element tag corresponding to the video game. By applying the video game model, an in-game element of the video game corresponding to the element tag may be identified in the video frame. Based on the identified element in the video frame of the video game, the video frame may be annotated and presented to the video game user.

Abstract: A system and a method for detecting presence of a living hold in a video stream are disclosed. The method comprises pre-processing N consecutive frames for eliminating noise. An edge score may be calculated for the N consecutive frames, and a clip threshold primary and a clip threshold secondary may be defined. The method further comprises identifying primary edges and secondary edges in the N consecutive frames. Successively, a percentage of fixed primary edges and percentage of fixed secondary edges may be determined. Presence of the living hold may be confirmed based on the value of the percentage of fixed primary edges and the percentage of fixed secondary edges.
