Title: Method and apparatus for variable accuracy inter-picture timing specification for digital video encoding
Inventor: HASKELL BARIN G
IPC: H04N19/94
Filed: 2003-07-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for variable accuracy inter-picture timing specification for digital video encoding is disclosed. Specifically the present invention discloses a system that allows the relative timing of nearby video pictures to be encoded in a very efficient manner. In one embodiment, the display time difference between a current video picture (105) and a nearby video picture is determined. The display time difference is then encoded (180) into a digital representation of the video picture. In a preferred embodiment, the nearby video picture is the most recently transmitted stored picture. For coding efficiency, the display time difference may be encoded using a variable length coding system or arithmetic coding. In an alternate embodiment, the display time difference is encoded as a power of two to reduce the number of bits transmitted.

Title: Interactive communication device
Inventor: BESSON BERNARD
IPC: G09F27/00
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: A server system ( 1 ) is connected to a number of remote displays ( 5 - 7 ) for messages for broadcasting by a communication network ( 8 ). The audiovisual messages ( 4 ) received from the server system ( 1 ) are made perceptible for the clients ( 2, 3 ). The clients can send coded instruction signals ( 16 ) to a first access device ( 5 a- 7 a), located near a display ( 5 - 7 ), by portable client badges ( 14, 15 ), which are transmitted to the server system ( 1 ) which then establishes a back-up communication ( 18 ) with the client ( 2 ), for example, through a portable telephone. The client can thus simply establish communication and, when the server system ( 1 ) has information specifically concerning the above, the information need not be transmitted over the network.

Title: A method for the statistical estimation of the traffic dispersion in telecommunication network
Inventor: AREDDU MARCO
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: A method for evaluating traffic dispersion at an exchange in a communications network, the exchange being arranged for applying a set of routing rules in allotting to a plurality of links (i.e., circuit groups) incoming traffic directed toward a given destination. The method includes the steps of incrementally generating traffic quantums representative of the traffic; producing a distribution of the traffic quantums over the circuit groups according to the set of routing rules; the distribution thus obtained being statistically representative of the dispersion of the incoming traffic over the plurality of circuit groups at the exchange. The steps of incrementally generating traffic quantums representative of the traffic and producing a distribution of the traffic quantums are performed in the absence of interference with operation of the exchanges/nodes in the communications network.

Abstract: Provision is made for an information reproduction scheme which is intelligent and adjusts to the desires and needs of the user in a manner which is almost unnoticeable to the user and is associated with little or no additional effort on the part of the user, in that the selection, from pieces of information or a plurality of pieces of information, of the information to be reproduced is performed randomly on the basis of an adaptive probability distribution, and the adaptive probability distribution is adapted based on a captured behavior of the user upon the reproduction of the information selected. Consequently, the user's behavior is used as a controlled variable for adapting the adaptive probability distribution, the latter one defining, among the reproducible information and/or those information objects wherein the reproducible information is provided, the likelihood that a specific piece of information provided in an information object will or will not be selected in the next random selection for the next piece of information to be reproduced.
