Title: Composition video par selection automatique a partir de cameras multiples
Inventor: YEUNG MINERVA
IPC: H04N5/268
Filed: 2001-11-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs pour la sélection automatique de sortie vidéo dans un éventail de plusieurs sources d'entrée vidéo. Selon un procédé, on associe un ou plusieurs capteurs audio à chaque source. De préférence, un capteur audio est placé de manière à recevoir les signaux audio depuis des directions qui reçoivent une couverture favorable dans le champ de vision de la source vidéo associée. Un sélecteur automatique détermine les scores audio de chaque capteur audio, sur de brefs intervalles d'examen (par exemple, 0,5 seconde). A chaque intervalle d'examen, on peut sélectionner une source vidéo différente qui fournira la sortie vidéo. Le sélecteur automatique retient une source vidéo en fonction des scores audio réalisés pour un intervalle d'examen, et en fonction de l'état récent de la sélection des sources vidéo, sur la base de critères comme le temps écoulé depuis une dernière sélection, l'historique de derniers segments vidéo, etc. Par exemple, si une nouvelle source vidéo vient juste d'être sélectionnée, il est possible de désactiver la sélection d'une source différente pendant quelques secondes. L'état déterminé en fonction du temps écoulé et de l'historique, comme indiqué ci-dessus, permet d'augmenter la probabilité selon laquelle la sélection de source varie de façon naturelle en apparence.

Abstract: A communications device such as a mobile telephone (1) responds to the input of a dialed number for a call destination (2) by generating and outputting a request message transmitted to a control centre (7) via a telecommunications system (3). The device receives a response message from the control centre containing routing data and credit data representing remaining credit within an account limit of the subscriber. An outgoing communications session is then initiated using the routing data which may for example enable a dialed telephone number to be modified to achieve optimum routing to the call destination via one or more preferred networks. The device also includes a credit control application (83) for limiting the duration of the communication in accordance with the credit data. Mobile telephones may thereby be used with a prepayment subscription account even during roaming operation in which the mobile telephone registers with a network other than the subscriber's home network.
