| 20090307614 | MEDIA CONTENT AND CHAT INTEGRATION - In various embodiments, a method includes receiving a request to initiate recording of media content of an event. The method also includes controlling capturing of the media content by a capture machine in response to the received request. The method includes opening a chat session among one or more persons that are listeners or viewers of the event being captured, wherein the opening is in response to the request to initiate recording of the media content. The chat session comprises one or more entries that include a chat input from the one or more persons and a timecode of the chat input. The method includes receiving a request to stop recording of the media content of the event. The method also includes combining at least a subset of the one or more entries of the chat session with the media content using the time code of the one or more entries. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20110064381 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING VIDEO TRANSITIONS - The disclosure addresses methods and apparatus for evaluating video presentations, particularly those displaying a succession of generally static images to identify the transition from a first image to a second image. The change of images facilitates the insertion of chapter markers which may be later used to index the content of the video and to facilitate navigation to selected content in the video. In one implementation, a difference measurement will be made between selected frames of the video presentation and evaluated with a statistical measure of the magnitude of the difference measurements, such as a Root Mean Square analysis. In preferred implementations, all processing will be done in the digital domain. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20090037524 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO GENERATE A MEDIA PRESENTATION - Apparatus and methods to control media presentation provide capabilities to capture a media event and process the media content captured in a distributed arrangement. In an embodiment, a media client communicates with a media production server to conduct a media capture event and to process media content generated from the media capture event in which the media production server controls the media capture machine that generates the media content. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090315905 | LAYERED TEXTURE COMPRESSION ARCHITECTURE - Various technologies for a layered texture compression architecture. In one implementation, the layered texture compression architecture may include a texture consumption pipeline. The texture compression pipeline may include a processor, memory devices, and textures compressed at varying ratios of compression. The textures within the pipeline may be compressed at ratios in accordance with characteristics of the devices in the pipeline that contains and processes the textures. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100197390 | POSE TRACKING PIPELINE - A method of tracking a target includes receiving from a source an observed depth image of a scene including the target. Each pixel of the observed depth image is labeled as either a foreground pixel belonging to the target or a background pixel not belonging to the target. Each foreground pixel is labeled with body part information indicating a likelihood that that foreground pixel belongs to one or more body parts of the target. The target is modeled with a skeleton including a plurality of skeletal points, each skeletal point including a three dimensional position derived from body part information of one or more foreground pixels. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20080311997 | DATA CAPTURE FOR INTERACTIVE OPERATION - A console is adapted to capture audio, video and other associated data to be rendered on a display during operation of an interactive media file. Captured data can be stored in a buffer so that selectable portions thereof can be persisted and/or transmitted as a media file. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20100194747 | Dynamic Fragment Coverage Antialiasing - The following discloses antialiasing systems and methods. Information about one or more fragments or primitives in a pixel area may be dynamically stored. The stored information may include, for example, depth, color, location and coverage. The coverage and depth information may be tracked at a higher frequency across the pixel than the number of fragments or primitives. Fragments or primitives that enter into a pixel area may be compared with fragments or primitives that have been stored. The comparisons may be based on depth and coverage. Either the incoming fragment or the stored fragment may be deleted based on the comparisons. Information associated with fragments that are preserved may be sampled at any location associated with their coverage area of a pixel. Fragments or primitives that are not discarded may be preserved for a final resolve process, which may incorporate information available from neighboring pixel areas. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100287485 | Systems and Methods for Unifying Coordinate Systems in Augmented Reality Applications - Systems and methods for unifying coordinate systems in an augmented reality application or system are disclosed. User devices capture an image of a scene, and determine a location based on the scene image. The scene image may be compared to cartography data or images to determine the location. User devices may propose an origin and orientation or transformation data for a common coordinate system and exchange proposed coordinate system data to agree on a common coordinate system. User devices may also transmit location information to an augmented reality system that then determines an a common coordinate system and transmits coordinate system data such as transformation matrices to the user devices. Images presented to users may be adjusted based on user device locations relative to the coordinate system. | 11-11-2010 |
