  • Patent number: 11436734
    Abstract: Interactive region coloring techniques as implemented by a computing device are described to provide a user with the tactile experience of coloring in a region with digital paint, while at the same time allowing the user to manually fill the region with digital paint with more apparent skill and precision than they may input. For each of multiple pixels on the digital medium, the system obtains one or both of a distance value that indicates a distance to a nearby point (e.g., the closest point) on an outline on the digital medium and a direction value that indicates a direction to the nearby point on the outline. A manner in which the digital paint is applied to the region (e.g., forces affecting paint flow, dynamically adjusting brush size or position) is determined based on one or both of the distance value and the direction value.

  • Patent number: 8457311
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes: obtaining compressed video content within a video content processing module, a portion of a document structure of the compressed video content conforming to a predefined codec, the portion of the document structure including a plurality of video frames; decrypting the compressed video content in accordance with a digital rights management data encryption applied to the compressed video content; adding information in an extension frame associated with a portion of the document structure; and applying an encoding technique to content of one or more of the plurality of video frames after the decrypting, wherein the extension frame flags the applied encoding technique; and providing the compressed video content, including the encoded content, to a media player including a codec conforming to the predefined codec.
