20140341376 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY OBTAINING DIGITAL CINEMA DECRYPTION KEYS - A method and system are disclosed for providing decryption key information in a digital cinema package. Information relating to at least the source of a decryption key is included in the digital cinema package. | 11-20-2014 |
20140314393 | RECLAIMING STORAGE SPACE ON A PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDER USING SCALABLE VIDEO CODING - The present invention concerns a method and associated apparatus for reclaiming storage space on a personal video recorder using scalable video coding. When the personal video recorder reaches a storage threshold, enhancement layers of lower priority recordings may be removed to reduce the storage 5 space required for continued storage of those recordings. Various priority schemes may be utilized to determine which recordings should undergo layer removal, and which layers should be removed. | 10-23-2014 |
20140307894 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SIGNALS OF A SPHERICAL MICROPHONE ARRAY ON A RIGID SPHERE USED FOR GENERATING AN AMBISONICS REPRESENTATION OF THE SOUND FIELD - Spherical microphone arrays capture a three-dimensional sound field (P(Ω | 10-16-2014 |
20140297345 | USING CUSTOMER PREFERENCES TO MINIMIZE IMPACT OF REQUIRED MAINTENANCE - A method for scheduling system maintenance in consumer premises equipment is described including accepting customer preferences correlation with content and maintenance information, determining a present time, determining a duration of the system maintenance, calculating an ending time of the system maintenance, determining if the ending time of the system maintenance interferes with the customer preferences correlation, if the ending time of the system maintenance will not interfere with the customer preferences correlation, then determining if a customer is currently accessing preferred content or current content is strongly correlated with the customer preferences or if access to preferred content is anticipated before the ending time of the system maintenance and scheduling the system maintenance responsive to the third and fourth determining steps. | 10-02-2014 |
20140293003 | METHOD FOR PROCESSING A STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE COMPRISING AN EMBEDDED OBJECT AND CORRESPONDING DEVICE - The invention relates to a method for processing a stereoscopic image comprising a first image L and a second image R, an object being embedded on the first and second images modifying the initial video content of pixels associated with the embedded object on the first and second images. In order to ensure coherence between the disparity associated with the embedded object and the video information associated with the pixels of first and second images, the method comprises steps for:
