Title: Video stream batching
Inventor: Sira Gonzalez
IPC: H04N21/845
Filed: 2019-01-04
Abstract: A method and system for dynamically batching a video stream from a video camera. The method comprises: capturing 401, by the video camera, a video stream; identifying 403 one or more intended subscribers (clients) of the video stream, connected to the video camera via a packet-switched network (PSN); determining 404 a sensitivity to latency (delay) for each subscriber; batching 405 (e.g. at individual frame level or group-of-pictures (GOP) level) the video stream into plural batches, the size of each batch based on the subscriber determined to be most sensitive to latency; and transmitting 406 the batches of the video stream to each subscriber. Determining latency sensitivity may comprise determining subscriber type (e.g. if performing video streaming or storing). Also claimed is a storage method determining whether a received data packet is associated with, and fits into, an existing buffer; if not, the existing buffer is written to permanent storage with buffer-associated metadata, received data being inserted into a new buffer. Also claimed is a method wherein in response to a new subscriber, buffer contents are transmitted to the new subscriber from a PSN node.

Title: Resilient network routing
Inventor: ANDREW STARKEY
IPC: H04L45/128
Filed: 2019-01-10
Abstract: A computer implemented method of determining non-intersecting primary and secondary routes between source and destination nodes in a communications network represented by a graph data structure of nodes and edges, edges having associated a weight corresponding to a resource involved in traversing the edge. The method comprises: defining a population set of primary routes based on a first primary route between the source and destination nodes determined by a greedy route-finding algorithm, and at least one additional primary route based on a mutation of the initial primary route. Each primary route in the population set further identifies a secondary route defined based on the greedy route-finding algorithm applied to the graph having edges in the primary route excluded, such that the primary and secondary routes are non-intersecting routes. A genetic algorithm is applied to mutate the population set until a stopping condition is reached by iteratively selecting and crossing over pairs of primary routes in the set. A primary route and corresponding secondary route having a lowest aggregate weight of edges are selected from the population set. The invention provides multiple non-intersecting routes between a start and finish location without compromising the quality or reliability of the service.

Title: Method for initiating a telephone call
Inventor: BEN ICETON
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 2019-09-18
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for initiating a telephone call from a user to a contact is disclosed, which aims to increase the success rate of the contact answering the call. A set of predetermined call parameters associated with a contact are obtained. The parameters may include periods of time when the contact is available to receive a telephone call and/or other information to improve the chance of the contact answering the call (e.g. notifying incoming caller ID). In accordance with the set of predetermined call parameters the user is provided a contact call notification. The user inputs data responsive to the contact call notification to either cause a telephone call to the contact to be initiated or modify the said set of call parameters. The modification may involve marking a contact for no further call notifications. The call parameters that influence the way in which contacts are called may be predetermined to a contact specifically or to all contacts within a particular group.

Title: An apparatus and method of controlling access to data stored in a non-trusted memory
Inventor: Hector Montaner Mas
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2019-12-10
Abstract: Message authentication codes (MAC) are generated for data blocks stored in a non-trusted memory 40. The authentication codes may be stored in a trusted memory 65 or in the non-trusted memory or in both. The authentication codes stored in trusted memory are shorter than those stored in non-trusted memory. The authentication codes may be generated using secret data. The secret data used for authentication codes stored in the trusted memory may be different from those stored in the non-trusted memory. The authentication code stored in the trusted memory may be generated by truncating the authentication code stored in the non-trusted memory. An authentication code may be evicted from the trusted memory. In this case, the authentication code for the non-trusted memory may be generated, if it is not already in the non-trusted memory. When reading data from the non-trusted memory, the authentication code in non-trusted memory may be used to generate an authentication code to be used in trusted memory. This may be compared with the authentication code generated from the data to authenticate the data.

Abstract: Image rendering instruction generation comprises identifying (1810) objects for rendering in a virtual scene, and identifying (1820) a shader for rendering the identified objects, the shader comprising shading processes corresponding to different levels of detail. A draw call is generated (1830) comprising the identified shader, and the generated draw call is provided (1840) to an image rendering system to render objects or object parts according to different levels of detail. Also claimed (see Fig. 19) is rendering an image using a shader comprising shading processes corresponding to different levels of detail, which comprises receiving (1900) a draw call identifying objects for rendering using the shader. The location of each object to be displayed on a screen is determined (1910), and a respective level of detail is selected (1920) for each object according to the object’s screen location. Each object is rendered (1930) using a shading process corresponding to the respective level of detail. Objects may be batch processed using a single draw call. A shading process corresponding to a lower level of detail may comprise fewer or simplified calculations. Level of detail selection may depend on the object’s location with respect to a detected viewer’s gaze on the screen.
