Abstract: Improved communication methods for sending media between a sending node and receiving node during a conversation. The various methods enable the system to provide real time call functionality using a best-efforts mode of message delivery at rate "good enough" for rendering as soon as possible, and the guaranteed eventual delivery of exact copies of the messages as transmitted by requesting retransmission of full copies of any good enough copies of media, or any missing or corrupted data from the originally saved perfect copy. The methods also include enabling the system to optimize the utilization of network bandwidth by making tradeoffs between timeliness and media quality, using the presence and intentions of the recipient(s) (i.e., to either review the media in real-time or in a time-shifted mode), as well as measures of instantaneous latency and packet on the network.

Abstract: Platform software is installed onto a native hardware platform (NHWP) containing a hard disk drive. That hard disk drive is formatted and structured as the NHWP would expect to use it to boot and run. However, the structure of that hard disk is converted to a drive image file (compressed or uncompressed) that can be loaded into a Virtual Machine Environment (VME). By mounting the drive image (or a partition of a drive image), the VME can use the partition as if it were a device rather than a file.

Title: Document verification using dynamic document identification framework
Inventor: LEI YIWU
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2008-11-12
Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and validating se-curity documents according to a dynamic document identification frame--work.    For example, a security document authentication device includes an image capture interface that receives the captured images of a document and a memory that stores a plurality of document type objects within a data structure according to the dynamic document identification framework.  The security document authentication device also includes a document processing engine that traverses the data structure by selectively invoking one or more of the plurality of processes to identify the captured images as one of the plurality of document type objects. Contrary to conventional identification techniques, this identification method performed by travers-ing the data structure stored according to the dynamic document identifica-tion framework may provide more accurate identification result in a more efficient manner, as only applicable processes may be applied to identify the captured images. Upon identifying the document type, a set of one or more validators are applied to further confirm its authenticity.
