    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments enable converting audio signals captured in various formats by various capture devices into a limited number of formats that can be processed by an audio codec (e.g., an Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS) codec). In an embodiment, a simplification unit of the audio device receives an audio signal captured by one or more audio capture devices coupled to the audio device. The simplification unit determines whether the audio signal is in a format that is supported/not supported by an encoding unit of the audio device. Based on the determining, the simplification unit, converts the audio signal into a format that is supported by the encoding unit. In an embodiment, if the simplification unit determines that the audio signal is in a spatial format, the simplification unit can convert the audio signal into a spatial “mezzanine” format supported by the encoding.

  • Patent number: 10999397
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for performing a clustered coherent cloud read cache without coherency messaging. At a cloud reader agent having a read cache, a request for a particular portion of data is received from a client. The request includes an identifier of the node making the request, a current time on the node making the request, a last stubbed time of the particular portion of data, and/or an identifier of the particular portion of data. When the particular portion of data is stored in the read cache of the cloud reader agent, the cloud reader agent can determine whether the cached particular portion of data is valid based, at least in part, upon the received identifier of the node making the request, the received last stubbed time of the particular portion of data, and/or, a stored time associated with the cached particular portion of data.

  • Patent number: 10977918
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display, processor(s), and memory displays a video monitoring user interface. The interface includes a video window displaying video feed from a camera located remotely from the device. A subset of the video includes a first motion event associated with an event category and a second motion event not associated with the event category. The device detects a user request for video playback. In response to the request, the device identifies a segment of the video for playback. The segment includes a first portion associated with the first motion event and a second portion associated with the second motion event. The device causes generation of a time-lapse video clip of the segment of the video for playback, including configuring the first portion to play at a different speed from the second portion. The device displays and plays the video clip of the segment.

  • Patent number: 10972752
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing stereoscopic interleaved compression techniques are disclosed. A system includes a transmitter sending a video stream over a wireless link to a receiver. For each pair of frames, the transmitter encodes a left-half of a first frame of the pair with an amount of compression less than a first threshold and encodes a right-half of the first frame with an amount of compression greater than a second threshold. For a second frame of the pair, the transmitter encodes a right-half of the second frame with an amount of compression less than the first threshold and encodes a left-half of the second frame with an amount of compression greater than the second threshold. The transmitter conveys encoded half-frames and indications of an amount of compression used for each half-frame to a receiver. The receiver receives, decodes, and drives the encoded half-frames to a display.
