Patent number: 12063454Abstract: An electronic device includes a receiving unit, a signal processing unit, a transmitting unit, and an audio timing unit. The receiving unit receives audio data and first video data. The signal processing unit generates second video data and a pixel clock signal for playing the second video data according to the first video data. The transmitting unit transmits the second video data, the audio data, the pixel clock signal, and a cycle time stamp (CTS) to a receiver. The audio timing unit generates an internal reference signal adjusts a frequency of the internal reference signal according to a receiving speed of the audio data, and generates the CTS according to the internal reference signal and the pixel clock signal so that the receiver can generate an audio clock signal for playing the audio data according to the pixel clock signal and the CTS.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATIONInventor: Lien-Hsiang Sung

Patent number: 12035065Abstract: Index values are periodically incremented at a central or primary video production control system and a video production control system node. Messages that include or otherwise indicate current index values generated by the primary video production control system are transmitted to the video production control system node, and the node reflects the messages back to the primary video production control system. The primary video production control system determines a round-trip message time, associated with the video production control system node, based on the transmitted messages and reflections of the messages received from the node. A further message that includes or otherwise indicates an instruction for execution of a task at a target execution time, is transmitted by the primary video production control system to the node at a time, in advance of the target execution time, that is based on the round-trip message time.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2022Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Ross Video LimitedInventors: Kevin Rockel, Michel Paquin, David Rooney

Patent number: 11954148Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to select reference sub-fingerprints for comparison to query sub-fingerprints based on a determination that a query sub-fingerprint is a match with a reference sub-fingerprint, generate a count vector that stores total counts of matches between the query sub-fingerprints and different subsets of the reference sub-fingerprints, each of the different subsets being aligned to the query sub-fingerprints at a different offset from a reference point, each of the different offsets being mapped by the count vector to a different total count, calculate a maximum count among the total counts, a median of the total counts, and a difference between the maximum count and the median of the total counts, and classify the reference sub-fingerprints as a match with the query sub-fingerprints based on the difference between the maximum count in the count vector and the median.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Robert Coover, Jeffrey Scott, Konstantinos Antonios Dimitriou

Patent number: 11871075Abstract: The present disclosure provides audio playing and transmitting methods and apparatuses, so as to reduce a playback delay of a control apparatus. An audio playing method provided the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: receiving a first system time data packet transmitted from a smart television, wherein the first system time data packet includes a first system time of the smart television at a sound transmission start time; calculating a difference serving as a first difference between a current second system time of a control apparatus and the first system time; receiving audio data transmitted from the smart television; calculating, according to the first difference, a network delay of transmission of the audio data between the smart television and the control apparatus; and abandoning the audio data when the network delay is greater than a preset threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ziquan Song, Xiujuan Pang

Patent number: 11816773Abstract: Example methods for generating an animated character in dance poses to music may include generating, by at least one processor, a music input signal based on an acoustic signal associated with the music, and receiving, by the at least one processor, a model output signal from an encoding neural network. A current generated pose data is generated using a decoding neural network, the current generated pose data being based on previous generated pose data of a previous generated pose, the music input signal, and the model output signal. An animated character is generated based on a current generated pose data; and the animated character caused to be displayed by a display device.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Gurunandan Krishnan Gorumkonda, Hsin-Ying Lee, Jie Xu
