Title: Motion detector using video frame differences with noise filtering and edge change accentuation
Inventor: WAIN DAVID HOSTETTLER
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2006-09-09
Abstract: A motion detector comprises a computer program that uses a digital camera data stream to detect image scene changes; differences between the current and previous video frames are used, e.g. by subtracting (RGB) pixels. A filter can be used to reduce noise in the frame images, and edges of change may be accentuated by a change summation algorithm; that is, edges of true moving features - indicated by contiguous pixels, for example - score more highly than random pixel changes. The amount of noise suppression and the threshold for motion detection may be configured. Upon movement detection, the camera can record or stream live video or save images to a local or remote computer, and optionally alert an operator. Rows and columns are traversed and corrected change scores are summed providing a total change score; previous and current pixel changes are multiplied together so actual motion scores highest. The total sum of change is then used to calculate an average change threshold (rolling basis).

Title: Captioned telephone device employing echo cancellation
Inventor: ENGELKE ROBERT M
IPC: H04M7/12
Filed: 2005-02-18
Abstract: Captioned telephones are devices intended to provide text captions to persons needing assistance with telephone communications by using the services of a relay interposed between the assisted user and the hearing user, the relay providing the captioning for the assisted user. The service can be delivered over a single telephone line, or if the assisted user has two telephone lines available for the captioning service, additional features and advantages are possible in the delivery of the service to the user. During a telephone conversation, the captioned telephone device uses echo cancellation to cancel the voice of the assisted user from the second telephone line so that the relay does not hear the voice of the assisted user, so the relay can caption all the words on the second telephone line without causing confusion to the assisted user.
