With Motion Estimation, E.g., Involving The Use Of Motion Vectors (epo) Patents (Class 348/E7.007)
  • Patent number: 10291925
    Abstract: An apparatus of video encoding is described herein. The apparatus includes an encoder and a hardware bit packing unit. The encoder includes a fixed function hierarchical motion estimation search unit, fixed function integer motion estimation search units, and a fixed function check and refinement unit. The check and refinement unit is to generate residuals using nested loops based on at least one spatial domain prediction and at least one frequency domain prediction and perform a final mode decision based on rate distortion optimization (RDO) costs associated with the generated residuals. The hardware bit packing unit is to pack bits as coded according to the final mode decision into a data format.

  • Patent number: 8856213
    Abstract: A system is configured to receive, from a content provider, traffic associated with a data service and that is destined for a group of user devices; retrieve service information, associated with the data service, that includes a value, associated with the data service, that represents a level of service quality associated with the data service; determine whether the traffic is authorized to be transmitted to the user devices based on the value; discard the traffic based on a determination that the value is less than a threshold; process the traffic to identify whether a condition is associated with the traffic based on a determination that the value is not less than the threshold; transmit the traffic to one or more of the user devices based on a determination that the traffic is not associated with a condition; and discard the traffic based on a determination that the traffic is associated with a condition.
