  • Patent number: 10805651
    Abstract: In synchronizing a playback of recorded media with a live media stream, a server streams live media to each of a plurality of participant devices at a normal rate. The live media stream is recorded and stored as the recorded media stream. When the server receives, from a given participant device of the plurality of participant devices, a request for playback after a pause at or a rewind to a specified location in the live media stream, the server calculates a playback rate to play the recorded media stream starting at the specified location. The playback rate is calculated such that a playback of the recorded media stream synchronizes with the live media stream at a target location or at a target time. The recorded media stream is then caused to play at the given participant device at the playback rate starting at the specified location.

  • Patent number: 10771756
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal transmission device, a signal transmission method, and a program that are capable of reducing the influence of a quantization error. A quantization error notification unit notifies the stage after a bit precision constraint region of a quantization error generated in a quantization processing unit that performs a quantization process on a signal to be transmitted via the bit precision constraint region that is a region where a bit precision constraint occurs. A quantization error reception unit receives the quantization error, and supplies the quantization error to an inverse quantization processing unit that performs an inverse quantization process on the signal transmitted via the bit precision constraint region. The present technology can be applied to an image signal transmission device that transmits image signals, for example.

  • Patent number: 9966103
    Abstract: Recording in a memory configured to temporarily record captured images is controlled in response to a shift instruction from a user. A control unit receives, from the user, the shift instruction containing an information item of specifying any of images displayed on a display unit, and updates an image recording start position in the memory in response to the shift instruction. A recording region for preceding captured images with respect to the updated recording start position is set as an overwritable region so that subsequent captured images can be recorded. The display unit displays, for example, images captured at intervals of a predetermined time period so that the user can select any of the images and issue the shift instruction. In this way, a region preceding a position of a selected image in the memory is set to be overwritable so that the subsequent captured images are recorded.

  • Publication number: 20140270688
    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a camera includes a replay mode which, when selected, the camera automatically captures image data, such as video or still images, and saves the image data to a memory buffer. The size of the memory buffer may be set by the user to determine how much image data is to be collected. If an event occurs that the user wishes to memorialize through video or still images, a record button can be activated which saves the image data from the beginning of the memory buffer and continues recording until the user presses the record button again.

  • Patent number: 8837899
    Abstract: An image recording playback apparatus which, when recording moving image data, performs image capture at high-speed read time Dt, records all the captured images, and records a playback rate Ft (Vt), the read time Dt and image valid time St, with the image data, on a recording medium. Then upon playback of moving image data, the image recording playback apparatus plays back the recorded image data within the image valid time St in accordance with the playback rate. The image recording playback apparatus having this configuration can perform playback intended by a user. Further, when sharpness is to be changed, a playback image with different sharpness can be obtained by changing the image valid time St upon playback.
