20080225826Method of Synchronizing the Playback of an Audio Broadcast on a Plurality of Network Output Devices - Method of synchronizing the playback of an audio broadcast on a plurality of network output devices. The present invention relates to method of synchronizing the playback of an audio broadcast on a plurality of network output devices. Said method comprises the steps of: detecting (09-18-2008
20110055490Memory Sharing Arrangement - A digital system is provided with a memory interposer module configured to be coupled between a processor module and a memory module. The memory interposer module has a memory controller configured to couple to the memory module. It also includes a first memory emulator configured to couple to the processor module via a connector, wherein the first memory emulator is configured to emulate the memory module. There is an arbiter coupled between the memory controller and the memory emulator. A second memory emulator is connected to the arbiter, wherein the second memory emulator is also configured to emulate the memory module. Each memory emulator is operable to stall a memory request when a conflict occurs.03-03-2011

20080273116Method of Receiving a Multimedia Signal Comprising Audio and Video Frames - The present invention relates to a method of receiving a multimedia signal in a communication apparatus, said multimedia signal comprising at least a sequence of video frames (VF) and a sequence of audio frames (AF) associated therewith. Said method comprises the steps of: processing (11-06-2008
20080281803Method of Transmitting Content With Adaptation of Encoding Characteristics - The invention proposes a method of transmitting a multimedia content from a server to a client device upon request of the client device, said method allowing adaptation of the characteristics of the encoder used for encoding the multimedia content based on the network transmission rate and/or client preference or preferences. The method of the invention consists in encoding the content with various encoder characteristics, thereby providing several encoded multimedia contents, slicing the encoded multimedia contents, thereby providing a plurality of file-based contents, downloading the content file by file while switching from one encoded multimedia content to another so as to change the encoding characteristics, thereby adapting to the network transmission rate and/or client preferences.11-13-2008
20080285532Floor Control for Multimedia Push-To-Talk Applications - The invention relates to a Push-to-Talk application enabling the transmission of different types of content, for example voice content and video content. In Push-to-Talk applications, only one user of a group can talk at a time and a floor control procedure is used to control access to the floor by the users of the group. According to the invention, separate implementations of the floor control procedure are used with the framework of one single session for managing access to the floor for the transmission of different types of content. For example a first implementation of the floor control procedure is used to manage floor access for the transmission of voice content and a second independent implementation of the floor control procedure is used to manage floor access for the transmission of picture content.11-20-2008
20090288172MEDIA PLAYBACK DECODER TRACING - A method of identifying a traced media playback decoder embedded in a device, wherein data representative of a trace message is included in the content field of a media content file and a trigger string (11-19-2009

20090210693METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT - The present invention relates to a system for distributing multimedia content to at least one client device over a network. Said system comprises: a slicer (SLI) for slicing the multimedia content into a set of slices; a coder (ALC) for coding a slice according to an asynchronous layer coding technique such that N coded symbols including K source symbols and N−K error symbols are generated; -a content server (SER) for storing and transmitting said coded slices upon request of the client device; a client device (CLD) comprising means for receiving said coded slices and a decoder (DEC) for decoding a coded slice as soon as K coded symbols of said slice have been received.08-20-2009
