Patent number: 10728494Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for differentially transforming video content includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a video reformatting software code. The hardware processor executes the video reformatting software code to receive an input video file including video content formatted for a first set of coordinates, and to detect one or more principle features depicted in the video content based on a predetermined principle feature identification data corresponding to the video content. The hardware processor further executes the video reformatting software code to differentially map the video content to a second set of coordinates to produce a reformatted video content. The resolution of the one or more principle features is enhanced relative to other features depicted in the reformatted video content.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Christopher S. Taylor, Steven M. Chapman

Publication number: 20190313355Abstract: Methods and systems provide synchronized sharing of multimedia between multiple devices. The multiple devices may form an ad-hoc network for sharing of multimedia. In an embodiment, group members may have playlist manipulation privileges such as pausing, rewinding, fast forwarding, or adding tracks to the playlist. A system may stream or distribute content according to the shared playlist. Playback may be synchronized for group members so that everyone is exposed to a same part of the content as the same time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Thomas Alsina, Taylor G. Carrigan, Szu-Wen Huang, Eric S. Lee, William M. Bachman, Jeffrey L. Robbin, Steve S. Gedikian, Nicholas J. Paulson, Gregory R. Chapman, David P. Saracino, Steven P. Bischoff

Patent number: 7704000Abstract: A printer dock for use with a digital data terminal, has a housing having a paper inlet portal, a first tray receiver, and a second tray receiver. The first tray receiver adjoins the paper inlet portal. The second tray receiver is disposed in spaced relation to the paper inlet portal. A printer engine is disposed in the housing. The printer engine has a paper path extending from an entrance facing the paper inlet portal. A device interface is operatively connectable to the data terminal and the printer engine. A paper tray is alternately mountable in a use position and a storage position. The paper tray, in the use position, is located in the first tray receiver and is disposed in operative relation to the printer engine. The paper tray, in the storage position, is located within the second tray receiver.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2006Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Steven M. Bryant, Steven S. Chapman, James G. Rydelek

Patent number: 6951375Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing an image on a large surface area or walkway provides for imagewise marking of the surface with a color marking solution, to form a visible image on the surface during an image recording mode of a marking engine. The marking engine includes a scanner and the marking engine moves along the surface and operates the scanner to sense a crude image upon the surface and generates data signals representing the crude image or boundaries defined by the crude image scanned. In response to data signals the marking engine is operated to print an enhanced image of the crude image and/or to color the crude image so that the printing overlies the crude image.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: David L. Patton, Loretta E. Allen, Dale F. McIntyre, Steven S. Chapman, Jacob L. Pietruszewski

Patent number: 6940543Abstract: A method for transmitting at least one digital image file between first and second devices, the first and second devices having limited range wireless transceivers; a user operating the first device selecting at least one electronic address designating said at least one second device; and said first device broadcasting at least one digital image file and the at least one selected electronic address until received and stored by one or more third non-designated devices. The method compares the received at least one selected electronic address to a stored electronic address belonging to said third non-designated device and automatically re-broadcasting the at least one digital image file if the received at least one selected electronic address does not match the stored electronic address of said at least one third non-designated device; and said at least one second device receiving and storing said at least one digital image file.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Jennifer C. Perotti, Dana W. Wolcott, Steven S. Chapman, Dan Harel, Dale F. McIntyre

Patent number: 6729706Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing an image on a large surface area or walkway provides for imagewise marking of the surface with a color marking solution, to form a visible image on the surface during an image recording mode of a marking engine. A vehicle supports the marking engine and includes a drive that engages the surface at plural locations and moves the marking engine relative to the surface. The marking engine is located outboard of an area defined by lines connecting the plural locations so that during operation of the marking engine during the image recording mode the drive does not engage areas of the surface that have been previously imagewise marked.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: David L.

Patent number: 6264379Abstract: A camera comprising a housing, and a carry strap attached to the housing to permit the carry strap to be longitudinally extended from the housing as a closed loop to receive one's hand in the closed loop and being elastic to be stretched around the housing to be stored on the housing, is characterized in that the carry strap has an ornamental figure which is arranged to be upstanding from the housing when the carry strap is stretched around the housing to be stored on the housing. Preferably, the carry strap has an integral platform that is wider than the remainder of the carry strap to serve as a support base for the ornamental figure. The platform is positioned on a top face of the housing, and the ornamental figure is upstanding on the platform, when the carry strap is stretched around the housing to be stored on the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 1999Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: James G.
