Title: Image encoding method and technical equipment for the same
Inventor: PAYMAN AFLAKI BENI
IPC: H04N19/597
Filed: 2016-06-21
Abstract: A most probable viewing direction (MPVD) in a content, such as for a 360 degrees image, is determined. The location of the most probable viewing direction is found on all available views of the content. One or more central locations for each available view is defined. The way in which the central locations cover the most probable viewing direction on each available view is determined and encoding is applied to each view accordingly. The highest quality encoding may be applied to views where the central locations cover the most probable viewing direction the best. This results in less of a bandwidth requirement. A multi-camera device (figures 4a-b) may be used to capture the content and a head movement tracker and eye gaze tracker may be used to ascertain the MPVD. The central locations for each view may be defined by a certain shape of a certain size (see figure 9).

Title: Method and device for http streaming over unreliable transport protocol
Inventor: Hervé Ruellan
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-07-13
Abstract: A method of transmission for data packets between a first device 100 and a second device 110 such as a client and server. Prior to packet transmission information is obtained regarding whether the packet is of a reliable or unreliable type. An association table containing packet identifiers and corresponding reliability information is included within the packet to be sent. On receiving a packet the second device 110 retrieves the association table and uses it to determine whether the packet was correctly received, its reliability type, and whether to request retransmission. If the first device 100 receives a request for retransmission then the packet is resent if the type is reliable; if the type is unreliable a notification is sent that the packet will not be retransmitted. The Transport Adaption layers 220/230 allow control over which parts of a HTTP message 140 are to be sent reliably or unreliably; for example, headers reliably and message body unreliably.

Title: Error detection within an integrated circuit chip
Inventor: GAJINDER PANESAR
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2018-09-14
Abstract: Error detection within an integrated circuit chip, particularly a system on chip (SOC), is performed by analysing transactions communicated over interconnect circuitry 210 on the integrated circuit chip to detect whether a message contains a data error. A memory 214 of the integrated circuit chip is coupled to the interconnect circuitry and is tested by a scanning unit 310 to detect whether there is a data error stored in the memory. In response to detecting a data error in a transaction and/or the memory, an action indicative of a data error is performed e.g. error correction or alert generation. The memory may be checked using a hashing unit 314 and the transactions may be checked using parity or cyclic redundancy checking (CRC). Error data may be analysed by a profile unit 308. The memory may only be scanned when the interconnect is free from other transactions at times determined by the error profile.
