Title: Systems and methods for user event data reduction
Inventor: SLOTHOUBER LOUIS P
IPC: H04N7/52
Filed: 2013-01-23
Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reducing the amount of data associated with user events. The systems and methods are particularly applicable to cable TV, satellite TV, and other networks where user event data (e.g., clickstream) must be sent from customer premises equipment (CPE) to centralized servers and the data transmission channel is narrow. In various exemplary embodiments, CPE such as television set-top boxes may reduce requirements for data storage and network bandwidth by replacing portions of channel-number/timestamp streams with abbreviated codes representing common meta-events such as "channel surfing events" and "previous channel events." The original channel-number/timestamp streams can be reconstituted on centralized servers. Other common sequences of events, including those involving activation of other buttons on remote controls (i.e., buttons not related to changing channels), keyboard keys, mouse pointing device controls, and the like may constitute meta-events and be similarly replaced by abbreviated codes.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer storage mediums reduce an amount of data captured by a plurality of sensors (130) on a vehicle that is streamed (180) to an operator of the vehicle. Embodiments relate to processing (150) the real-time data captured by the plurality of sensors (130) so that required real-time data that is necessary for the operator to adequately monitor the target area is streamed (180) in real-time to the operator while discarding the unnecessary real-time data. The discarded real-time data is replaced by a three-dimensional virtual model that is a virtual representation of the target area. The three-dimensional virtual model is generated (160) based on previously captured data of the target area. The processed real-time data required by the operator is integrated (170) into the three-dimensional virtual model. The processed real-time data that is integrated into the three-dimensional virtual model is streamed (180) to the operator.
