Title: Video stabilization system and method
Inventor: PIOTR KUCHNIO
IPC: H04N19/51
Filed: 2017-02-24
Abstract: A system and method for stabilizing video using a census kernel having test points. A subset form a connected circle centered on the kernel's center point. For each candidate pixel, a signature is calculated based on the relative brightness of the candidate pixel and of the pixels corresponding to test points when the kernel overlays the image with the center point over the candidate pixel. A candidate pixel is designated to be a corner pixel by processing the signature to determine that the candidate pixel is significantly brighter or darker than the test point pixels. For each corner pixel, a corresponding pixel in the previous frame is identified by comparing the signature of the corner pixel with signatures of pixels in the previous frame, and a corresponding motion vector is established. A motion model is calculated based on the motion vectors and applied to the digital frame.

Title: Multiple device access configuration and alerting
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER D BALDWIN
IPC: H04M3/54
Filed: 2021-01-18
Abstract: A first user device is registered as a first device for a user (e.g. Multi Device Access, MDA, device). Several other user devices are registered as devices (e.g. MDAs) for the user. The first user device is marked with a first alerting priority, while the other devices are marked with a second alerting priority that is different from the first alerting priority. An incoming call is received for the user and this causes the first user device to alert for the incoming call at a different time than the other user devices based on the first alerting priority being different from the second alerting priority. It may be determined if the answering behaviour of the user deviates over a period of time from an anticipated answering behaviour that is based on the first user device being marked with the first alerting priority and the second user device being marked with the second alerting priority. An alternative device priority may be suggested based on determining that the answering behaviour of the user over the period of time deviates from the anticipated answering behaviour.
