  • Scalable System and Method That Use Logical Entities for Production of Programs That Use Multi-Media Signals
    Publication number: 20220353178
    Abstract: According to the present invention, programs that use signals, such as multi-media signals, received over communication channels from one or more sources are produced in a computing system by executing an application software in one or more servers of the computing system. At least one of the servers has one or more processors that process defined logical entities. A signal used in production of a program is received from a source over a communication channel at a server. An input logical entity having attributes associated with the source of the signal is defined such that the input logical entity is responsive to a user defined predicate comprising a logical expression for accepting or rejecting the signal. Also defined are a stream logical entity that identifies an accepted signal and a routing logical entity that establishes a connection between the stream logical entity and a destination. The accepted signal is routed to the destination based on a routing rule.

  • Scalable flow transport and delivery network and associated methods and systems
    Patent number: 8619775
    Abstract: A Flow Transport and Delivery Network (FTDN) supports delivery and transport of flows to destination nodes over parallel overlay networks. Overlay nodes executing overlay processes create and maintain one or more overlay networks. A plurality of sites are connected to each other via the parallel overlay networks with each site comprising one or more transit routers that route the flows to the destination nodes.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD THAT ROUTES FLOWS VIA MULTICAST FLOW TRANSPORT FOR GROUPS
    Publication number: 20140079059
    Abstract: A routing system and method for flows within a network provides multicast flow transport for one or more groups. Transit routers comprising processing units that run overlay processes route one or more flows based on overlay group identifiers. Access nodes issue requests for overlay groups in order to receive flows from the transit routers. The overlay processes utilize a mapping service that maps overlay group identifiers to native multicast group identifiers. A control channel between the access nodes and transit routers is used for communicating access nodes requests, overlay group identifiers, and native multicast group identifiers.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOVERY OF PACKETS IN OVERLAY NETWORKS
    Publication number: 20140003226
    Abstract: A packet recovery transmits N requests for retransmission of the transmitted packet to the sender node at N scheduled times upon determining satisfaction of a packet recovery condition associated with a transmitted packet from a sender node at a receiver node. At least one of the N scheduled times includes a receiver waiting time. M retransmissions of the transmitted packet from sender node at M scheduled times is performed upon the first receipt of a request for retransmission of the transmitted packet. At least one of the M scheduled times includes a sender waiting time. N and M are non-zero positive integers, and at least one of N or M is greater than one.

    Patent number: 9106569
    Abstract: A routing system and method for flows within a network provides multicast flow transport for one or more groups. Transit routers comprising processing units that run overlay processes route one or more flows based on overlay group identifiers. Access nodes issue requests for overlay groups in order to receive flows from the transit routers. The overlay processes utilize a mapping service that maps overlay group identifiers to native multicast group identifiers. A control channel between the access nodes and transit routers is used for communicating access nodes requests, overlay group identifiers, and native multicast group identifiers.

  • System and method for synchronizing metadata with audiovisual content
    Patent number: 11122344
    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving, at a first digital device, video data, scanning video content of the video data for visual transitions within the video content between consecutive frames of the video data, each transition indicating significant visual transitions relative to other frames of the video data, timestamping each visual transition and create a first set of temporal video fingerprints, identifying items of metadata to be associated with the video data, identifying a location within the video data using the temporal video fingerprints for the identified items of metadata, generating a metadata index identifying each item of metadata and a location for each item of metadata relative to the video data using at least one of the temporal video fingerprints, and transmitting, at the first digital device, the video data, the first set of temporal video fingerprints, and the metadata index to a different digital device.

  • System and method for recovery of packets in overlay networks
    Patent number: 8437267
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a packet recovery method for packets communicated between sender and receiver nodes of an overlay network that runs over an underlying IP network. The present invention executes a packet recovery process at a receiver node upon satisfaction of a packet recovery condition that is associated with meeting a deadline driven criteria for a transmitted packet. The packet recovery process associates N number of scheduled times with N requests for retransmission of the transmitted packet. At least one of the N scheduled times includes a receiver waiting time. At each N scheduled time, a request for retransmission of the transmitted packet is transmitted to a source node. A packet retransmission process at the sender node is executed upon the first receipt of a request for retransmission of the transmitted packet.
