Patent EP-1962473-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HUNG H K MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: To promote efficient transmission of presence update information to a presence service client (135) associated or integrated with a communication client such as an instant messaging (IM) client (134), a separate computing device (50) may be notified when the communication client becomes dormant. The separate device (50) may buffer presence updates destined for the communication client, each presence update containing information regarding availability of at least one of a set of contacts for intercommunication via said communication client (134). When the separate device (50) learns that either the communication client (134) has ceased being dormant or that an event has occurred which shall cause the communication client (134) to cease being dormant, the buffered presence updates (54) may be sent to the presence service client (135). Presence updates within the buffered set (54) may be reconciled to eliminate obsolete information. The result may be a conservation of wireless connection bandwidth or reduction in device power consumption.

Abstract: In motion estimation, the number of search points should be kept low in order to accelerate the ME process, while the flexibility of the ME process should be improved and the complexity of the required hardware reduced. A method for performing motion estimation for a picture element selects an initial reference element having an initial distortion value, compares the initial distortion value with three different thresholds (TH1,TH2, TH3 with TH1<TH2<TH3), and depending on the results of the comparison, skips further search steps if the first threshold (TH1) is met, or performs a simple nearby search if not the first but the second threshold (TH2) is met, or performs a wider range search before said simple nearby search if also not the second threshold is met. The wider range search comprises selecting, depending on the third threshold (TH3), one among two different search patterns with horizontally different search ranges.
