Filed: 1997-04-25
Granted: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The invention includes a mostly conventional digital television system (2000) to transmit compressed digital signals. A multiplexer (2004) receives a plurality of further input signals, assembles one or more transport streams and transmits compressed digital signals to a transmitter (2008) of the broadcast centre via linkage (2010). The transmitter (2008) transmits electromagnetic signals via uplink (2012) towards a satellite transponder (2014), where they are electronically processed and broadcast via notional downlink (2016) to earth receiver (2018). The signals received by receiver (2018) are transmitted to an integrated receiver/decoder (2020) connected to the end user's television set (2022). The receiver/decoder (2020) decodes the compressed MPEG-2 signal into a television signal for the television set (2022). A conditional access system (3000) is connected to the multiplexer (2004) and the receiver/decoder (2020), and is located partly in the broadcast centre and partly in the decoder. It enables the end user to access digital television broadcasts from one or more broadcast suppliers. A smartcard, capable of decrypting messages relating to one or several television programmes sold by the broadcast supplier, can be inserted into the receiver/decoder (2020). Using the decoder (2020) and smartcard, the end user may purchase commercial offers in either a subscription mode or a pay-per-view mode. A number of features of particular interest are disclosed, involving the randomization of EMMs, mixing parameter length and identifier on EMMs and the like to save space, dynamic allocation of bandwidth for specific EMMs, and the STM being separate from the SMS.

Title: Virtual true color light amplification
Inventor: JAMES BRIAN G
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 2000-04-10
Granted: 2004-04-08
Abstract: A method is provided for enhancing a digital image without distortion of the color. The result is an adjusted image which preserves the essential color of each and every dot in the input digital image while varying the effective light gathering power - like a virtual flash. The image enhancement is performed in RGB color space and comprises determining the maximum strength of the R, G, and B of a dot's RGB triplet and similarly for all dots. The dot maximums are scaled through a scaling function which is constrained in domain and range to the system's dynamic range. The same scaling factor that is applied to a dot maximum is also applied to each of R, G and B in the triplet. Preferably, a continuous scaling function is provided which smoothly approaches the minimum and maximum of the system's dynamic range for providing an aesthetically pleasing enhancement while maintaining true color. In a forensic embodiment, a portion of the image can be selected in RGB color space and normalized, to substantially the entire dynamic range, thereby emphasizing the area of interest, all without affecting the ratios of R, G and B for maintaining true color.
