Patent number: 9432736Abstract: The present invention related to the domain of audio/video content distribution, where a catalog of available content is made available to end users. An aim of the invention is to ensure that the catalog has a high quality in that a search within the catalog will have a high probability of yielding a result. The invention provides a method and a system for creating useful links between elements in the catalog whenever it is deemed that such links be useful. The links between the elements are created either by adding new content to the catalog or new metadata which can be associated with the new content and existing content in the catalog.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2011Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: NAGRAVISION S.A.Inventor: Thierry Dagaeff

Publication number: 20150358156Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for scrambling an original digital image into a scrambled image and for descrambling the scrambled image into a reconstructed image. The method firstly comprises a scrambling operation for substituting a plurality of original coefficients by dummy coefficients, while safeguarding the coding format, and for storing the substituted original coefficients with their respective position, as original data into at least two control objects, each control object corresponding to a specific degradation level of the original image. This method secondly comprises a descrambling operation for receiving the scrambled image and at least a part of said control objects, and for using original data derived from a selection of at least one of said control objects, performed on the basis of a user access condition, to obtain the reconstructed image by putting back the original coefficients instead of said dummy coefficients thanks to their respective position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: NAGRAVISION S.A.Inventors: Pierre Sarda, Minh-Son Tran, Thierry Dagaeff

Patent number: 8925107Abstract: A method for controlling access to a visual medium in a social network comprising user units connected to a social network site server associated to a database and a to a distorted visual medium server storing visual media posted by users of the social network. A visual medium is selected by a posting user on a user unit and made available to at least one entitled user of said social network. The posting user defines a list of entitled users to be entitled to access the visual medium, said list of entitled users comprising at least one identifier identifying at least one entitled user, said identifier being associated to a parameter defining an access level to the selected visual medium. The selected visual medium is uploaded to the distorted visual medium server in association with the list of entitled users.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Privately SarlInventors: Thierry Dagaeff, Deepak Tewari
