Title: Data communication between a group of users
Inventor: MARTIN TOMLINSON
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-09-11
Abstract: When an ad hoc group of people come together electronically to perform a collective task they have shared responsibility and need to be accountable. The invention provides irrefutable binding of group data to group members. A number of users with associated computing devices form an ad hoc communication group via a messaging server. The messaging server stores data associated with the ad hoc communication group including digital commitment signatures from users in the group and a public group signing key. The digital commitment signatures irrevocably and verifiably bind the respective user’s membership to the group. The public group signing key is used to verify group data outputs signed by computing devices in the group. Each digital commitment signature may be generated based on a user and group specific commitment text that is signed by the user’s private signing key. A quorum of group members may be required, that is a predefined minimum number of members have to cooperate together to produce the digital group signature.

Title: Method, device, and computer program for coding and decoding a picture
Inventor: ERIC NASSOR
IPC: H04N19/70
Filed: 2019-09-24
Abstract: Encoding (or correspondingly decoding) layered video data into a bitstream by: encoding a first picture belonging to a first layer of the video data in the form of a first set of logical units; encoding a second picture belonging to a second layer (different to the first layer), the second picture comprising a first subpicture, where the encoding of the second picture comprises encoding a reference between the first subpicture and at least one logical unit of the first set of logical units. Preferably the method comprises encoding information comprising a list of layers containing logical units referenced by subpictures of the second picture, and may further include encoding information associated to each layer indicating whether or not the layer comprises at least one subpicture which references logical units of another layer. In another aspect two bitstreams are merged by creating a merging layer comprising pictures with subpictures that reference logical units in one or other of the bitstreams to be merged, by treating the bitstreams to be merged as different layers. In embodiments the problem solved is to improve signalling of Multi-Layer SubPictures (MLSP) in the VVC coding standard.

The vehicle may have between one and four sensors, and at least one of those may be a tyre pressure sensor. There may be more than one spaced-apart communication unit in the charging pad; each communication unit may measure its own distance to the sensor, allowing the charger controller to calculate more accurate location information by means of distances and angles, i.e. triangulation. Once the vehicle is in the correct position, a notification may be sent to the charger, which may commence charging.

Abstract: Quantum memory storage system 7000 for storing one or more photons, comprising at least two reflectors 7006, 7014 (e.g dichroic mirror, Bragg grating) forming a photonic cavity; one reflector 7006 receiving first electromagnetic (EM) radiation (e.g from photon source 7002) from outside the cavity and then transmitting this EM radiation into the photonic cavity; another reflector 7004 receiving and then re-transmitting a second electromagnetic radiation from outside the cavity (e.g laser control source 7022) into the photonic cavity; a photonic memory 7008 (e.g Rubidium vapour cell) disposed in the cavity comprising an atomic system that: receives a photon field of first EM radiation; receives second EM radiation; stores at least a portion of the field of the photon in the atomic system via an atomic transition using the photon and received second radiation (figure 15c); the system further configured to emit or retrieve the stored portion of photon upon receiving a third electromagnetic radiation (e.g third control source 7022/7024); the apparatus directs the photon into photonic memory, after being reflected into photonic cavity by at least one of the reflectors; and outputs emitted portion of the field into the cavity. Other embodiments are disclosed, which capitalise on off-resonance excitation (see figure 3, 15c). When the second and third EM radiation (second and third control sources) have a different frequency, then wavelength conversion of the emitted photon occurs. The reflectors may be chosen to have a specific frequency above or below which transmission occurs and below or above which reflection occurs (figure 15b). In this manner, due to a process of wavelength conversion, a photon may either be trapped or released between the two reflectors allowing detection 7018 to proceed. Alternatively, optical switching may divert the photon to a detector.

Title: System and method for measuring light sensor output in an electronic device
Inventor: John Gorsica
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 2021-04-09
Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for measuring light sensor output in a display. The method includes receiving periodic synchronization signals from a display, 608, and generating one or more timing signals based on the received periodic synchronization signals, 610. The method further includes tracking a number of timing signals and in response to each timing signal, recording output signals from a light sensor. The output signals correspond to a light level detected by the light sensor. The method further includes accumulating the recorded output signals over a threshold number of timing signals, 616. The method includes determining if a value of the counter is at least equal to or greater than the threshold number, 618. In response to determining that the value of the counter is at least equal to or greater than the threshold number, generating a composite output signal based on the accumulated recorded output signals, 622. The method may be used to sense output from the light sensor only during a display blanking period to avoid light emitted from the display interfering with the light sensing process.

Title: Communication security module and method of secure communication
Inventor: PAUL OLIVER
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2021-08-05
Abstract: The invention comprises a key issuing platform (KIP) 106, user controller 102 and server 104. The key issuer and server share a set of base keys and session encryption key derivation algorithms. A session key request including attributes (e.g. user ID, device ID, command ID) is sent from the user controller to the KIP. The KIP selects from a set of base keys using some attributes (e.g. access level) and creates a time limited session key using the selected base key and possibly some attributes (Fig. 5a). The KIP creates a checksum of some attributes including the base key selection attribute. The KIP returns a session key, checksum and time limit to the user. The user encrypts a command using the session, appends at least the checksum related attributes, but not the base key selection attribute, and transmits this to the server (Fig. 5b). The server derives the key selection attribute from the checksum and appropriate received attributes. Thence it determines the base key, repeats the session key derivation and decrypts the command (Fig. 5c). The KIP may verify user authorisation before issuing session keys.
