  • Patent number: 11895308
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a video system. In one aspect, a video encoding/decoding method or apparatus includes segmenting each frame of a sequence of raw image frames to derive objects of interest; ranking the objects of interest to generate a ranks and ranked objects of interest; generating frame keys corresponding to the objects of interest; retrieving a source stored model data; and generating a training metric using the frame keys and the source stored model data. In another aspect, it includes receiving frame keys from a source portion; retrieving a destination stored model data and sending the destination stored model data to a destination contextual video learning system; and retrieving objects of interest from the destination stored model data using the frame keys and the destination contextual video learning system.

  • Patent number: 11665209
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a telecommunications network architecture. In accordance with one aspect, a scalable telecommunications network architecture includes at least one infrastructure switching node; at least one user switching node for receiving a session request, wherein the session request includes at least one user attribute; and at least one controller coupled to the at least one user switching node, the at least one controller for examining the session request a) to allocate at least one bandwidth or at least one data rate for the at least one user switching node based on a resource allocation policy and b) to allocate a quantity of switch elements in the at least one infrastructure switching node based on an interconnection policy. In one example, the at least one controller establishes a communications session for a user terminal based on the session request.
