Patent number: 11863862Abstract: A display device (100) obtains (S210) an image, obtains (S220) a current measure of inclination of a screen (110) of the display device (100), rotates (S230) the image to compensate for the inclination to render the image parallel with the horizon, scales (S240) and displays (S250) the image entire and horizontally on the screen. The image can be part of a video for which other images are processed to be displayed horizontally. The image can be scaled to maximise the size of the image when displayed on the screen (110); this can be performed after a period of unchanged inclination.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: InterDigital CE Patent Holdings, SASInventors: Goulven Querre, Thomas Morin, Karine Jegou, Sebastien Fraleu

Publication number: 20190354346Abstract: A processor in an apparatus having a plurality of audio output interfaces receives volume commands from a control interface configured to receive commands from a control device comprising at least one volume button enabling two input possibilities. Until a selection of an audio output interface has been validated a volume button command received causes selection of an audio output interface. Upon validation of the selection of the audio output interface, the processor modifies an output audio volume for the validated audio output interface in accordance with received volume commands. A first received volume command can cause the processor to display selectable audio outputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Thomas MORIN, Sebastien FRALEU, Goulven QUERRE

Publication number: 20180199097Abstract: A method for accelerating channel changes from a previous channel to a new channel in a video decoding device is proposed. A salient idea is to monitor the time intervals between channel change events so as to detect when a user is looking forward quickly browsing a set of TV channels. The disclosed method comprises at least two operation modes: a normal operation mode and a burst operation mode. In case the time between two consecutive channel change events is below a first value, the disclosed method comprises operating the channel change into a burst operation mode, wherein operating the channel change in a burst operation mode comprises only a subset of the features comprised in operating the channel change in a normal operation mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2016Publication date: July 12, 2018Inventors: Thierry QUERE, Sebastien FRALEU, Sebastien BERGOT

Patent number: 9420335Abstract: A digital decoder for television receiver, comprises an input (E) for receiving a digital audio/video signal (SAV), means for demodulating and decoding the input signal into an output signal intended for the television receiver, and a first buffer memory (8) into which the input signal is diverted after demodulation (SD) when the decoder is placed in a so-called “live” mode of operation. In a so-called “playback” mode of operation, the signal recorded in the first buffer memory constitutes the output signal. This decoder comprises a second buffer memory (9) into which the demodulated input signal (SD) is diverted when the decoder is placed in the “playback” mode, the signal recorded in the second buffer memory (9) constituting the output signal when the decoder is switched from the “playback” mode to another so-called “return to live” mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: THOMSON LICENSINGInventors: Sebastien Fraleu, Andre Magras, Thierry Quere

Patent number: 8918823Abstract: A digital decoder for television receiver, comprises an input (E) for receiving a digital audio/video signal (SAV), means for demodulating and decoding the input signal into an output signal intended for the television receiver, and a first buffer memory (8) into which the input signal is diverted after demodulation (SO) when the decoder is placed in a so-called “live” mode of operation. In a so-called “replay” mode of operation, the signal recorded in the first buffer memory constitutes the output signal. This decoder comprises a second buffer memory (9) into which the demodulated input signal (SO) is diverted when the decoder is placed in the “replay” mode, the signal recorded in the second buffer memory (9) constituting the output signal when the decoder is switched from the “replay” mode to another so-called “return to live” mode of operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Sébastien Fraleu, André Magras, Thierry Quere

Patent number: 7890981Abstract: The invention makes configuring satellite decoders easier. An automatic detection method can configure the decoder without having to determine the installation beforehand. The automatic detection method tests different configuration possibilities in order to determine the used antenna system. A series of input selection commands are sent for a remote antenna switch corresponding to a given range of switch control possibilities, the said range being independent from the used antenna system.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2005Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Thierry Quere, Sébastien Fraleu, André Magras
