| 20120290257 | USING SPATIAL INFORMATION WITH DEVICE INTERACTION - The amount of resources needed for an electronic device to track and/or interact with a user is reduced by utilizing a predicted relative position of that user. In some embodiments, a full 360° scan is performed using at least one image capture element to locate a primary direction to a user of the device. Once this direction is determined, a smaller range (e.g., 45°) centered around that direction can be used to capture, analyze, or provide information for the user. As the user moves, the determined direction is updated and the range adjusted accordingly. If the user moves outside the range, the device can increase the size of the range until the user is located, and the range can again be decreased around the determined direction. Such approaches limit the amount of image or audio information that must be captured and/or analyzed to track the relative position of a user. | 11-15-2012 |

| 20120246270 | SELECTIVELY ENABLED QUALITY OF SERVICE POLICY - A computer system that implements a quality of service policy. Information defining the quality of service policy is stored in a central location, such as a server within an enterprise. Policy management software on clients in the network download quality of service policy information from the central location to the clients. Within a client, a portion of the policy information is selected based on its applicability to a particular connection. The selected information is cached with an association to the connection so that, as datagrams are generated for transmission over the network, relevant policy information is quickly accessed for use in controlling transmission characteristics of datagrams sent using that connection. The policy information is applied on a datagram-by-datagram basis, allowing policy information to be selectively applied based on network type. Policy information may be selectively applied to those datagrams transmitted over a managed network. | 09-27-2012 |

| 20100250575 | Query Throttling During Query Translation - A computer determines whether an original query expressed in an initial query language includes clauses unsupported by a target query language. If so, the computer separates the original query into a client-side query and one or more server-side queries. The computer then determines whether the client-side query is efficient. If so, the computer translates the one or more server-side queries into one or more supplemental queries expressed in the target query language and receives server-side result sets for the supplemental queries. The computer generates a client-side result set by querying the server-side result sets using the client-side query. The computer returns the client-side result set as a result set of the original query. If the client-side query is not efficient, the computer returns an error message. Thus, by identifying inefficient queries, the computer effectively controls (i.e., throttles) the amount of work performed by the computer to process queries. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080294793 | REDUCING INFORMATION RECEPTION DELAYS - A technique for reducing information reception delays is provided. The technique reduces delays that may be caused by protocols that guarantee order and delivery, such as TCP/IP. The technique creates multiple connections between a sender and recipient computing devices and sends messages from the sender to the recipient on the multiple corrections redundantly. The recipient can then use the first arriving message and ignore the subsequently arriving redundant messages. The recipient can also wait for a period of time before determining which of the arrived messages to use. The technique may dynamically add connections if messages are not consistently received in a timely manner on multiple connections. Conversely, the technique may remove connections if messages are consistently received in a timely manner on multiple connections. The technique can accordingly be used with applications that are intolerant of data reception delays such as Voice over IP, real-time streaming audio, or real-time streaming video. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20100125455 | AUDIO ENCODING AND DECODING WITH INTRA FRAMES AND ADAPTIVE FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION - Various strategies for rate/quality control and loss resiliency in an audio codec are described. The various strategies can be used in combination or independently. For example, a real-time speech codec uses intra frame coding/decoding, adaptive multi-mode forward error correction [“FEC”], and rate/quality control techniques. Intra frames help a decoder recover quickly from packet losses, while compression efficiency is still emphasized with predicted frames. Various strategies for inserting intra frames and signaling intra/predicted frames are described. With the adaptive multi-mode FEC, an encoder adaptively selects between multiple modes to efficiently and quickly provide a level of FEC that takes into account the bandwidth currently available for FEC. The FEC information itself may be predictively encoded and decoded relative to primary encoded information. Various rate/quality and FEC control strategies allow additional adaptation to available bandwidth and network conditions. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100149301 | Video Conferencing Subscription Using Multiple Bit Rate Streams - Subscriptions in a video conference may be provided using multiple bit rate streams. A video conference server may receive video streams from each client in a video conference and may receive subscription requests from each client. The subscription requests may include requests to see video streams from specific other clients at a given resolution and/or frame rate. The video conference server may match up the received video streams with the subscription requests in order to send the subscribing clients their desired video streams. The server may also be able to request different versions of video streams from participants (e.g. different resolutions) and/or alter the video streams in order to better comply with the subscription request. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100153574 | Video Conference Rate Matching - Video conference rate matching may be provided. A video conference server may receive video source streams from clients on a video conference. The server may analyze each client's capabilities and choose a video stream to send to each client based on those capabilities. For example, a client capable of encoding and decoding a high definition video stream may provide three source video streams—a high definition stream, a medium resolution stream, and a low resolution stream. The server may send only the low resolution stream to a client with a low amount of available bandwidth. The server may send the medium resolution stream to another client with sufficient bandwidth for the high definition stream, but which lacks the ability to decode the high definition stream. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100239081 | DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF CALL CONTROLS FOR COMMUNICATION PERIPHERALS - Callers of an enhanced communication system are enabled to improve their communication experience by receiving context specific call controls on their peripheral device before, during, and/or after a call. A communication application determines context specific commands and configures/reconfigures call controls on the peripheral device. The peripheral device displays the call context specific controls in different stages of operation and forwards user selection(s) to the communication application without a need to understand the commands of perform actions associated with the commands. | 09-23-2010 |
