20150254048 | MULTI-USER DISPLAY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method implementing a multi-user display linking multiple independent software processes with remote mobile devices is disclosed. The system/method augments multiple planes of conventional video graphics memory (VGM) controlled by a video graphics controller (VGC) in a host computing context (HCC) with a plane selection register (PSR) that enables isolation of individual planes of video memory within the VGM. The PSR is associated with a process mapping table (PMT) that maps in hardware a user process identification (PID) associated with an individual software process running within the HCC under control of a host operating system (HOS). HOS process context changes update the PSR with PMT content corresponding to an active HCC PID. A video graphics encoder (VGE) inspects areas of change within individual VGM planes and emits these changes as streaming video content to an Ethernet interface communicating with remote mobile devices associated with the HCC PIDs. | 09-10-2015 |
20150256580 | VIDEO STREAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method implementing simultaneous video streaming to multiple end-user mobile user devices (MUD) is disclosed. The system/method utilizes an Ethernet/SATA bridge (ESB) to permit a host computer system (HCS) the ability to load video media content (VMC) on a local storage media (LSM) via a SATA multiplexer (MUX) using a hardware MAC-to-LBA transmission decoder (LTD). The HCS is configured to load a hardware service queue register (SQR) with end-user IP target address and VMC addressing information. A streaming FIFO controller (SFC) scans the SQR and retrieves data from the LSM via the SATA MUX and packetizes the IP target address and VMC data with an hardware Ethernet transport encoder (ETE) to transfer the VMC data stream directly from the LSM to the end-user MUD without HCS TCP/IP protocol intervention. | 09-10-2015 |
20150256609 | CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method deploying cloud computing software applications and resources to mobile devices is disclosed. The system/method virtualizes the graphical user experience (GEX) and user input experience (UEX) that comprise the graphical user interface (GUI) for host application software (HAS) running on a host computer system (HCS). The virtualized GUI (VUI) GEX component is converted to a remote video stream (RVS) and communicated to a remote mobile computing device (MCD) over a computer communication network (CCN). A MCD thin client application (TCA) receives the RVS and presents this GEX content on the MCD display using a graphics experience mapper (GEM). A TCA user experience mapper (UEM) translates MCD user inputs to a form suitable for UEX protocols and communicates this user input over the CCN to the HCS for translation by the UEX into HCS operating system protocols compatible with the HAS. | 09-10-2015 |
20150256898 | VIDEO CRYPTOGRAPHY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method implementing stenographic cryptography in a video data stream (VDS) is disclosed that embeds secret video data (SVD) in a graphical user experience (GEX) generated by a host computing system (HCS) and streamed to a remote user on a mobile computing device (MUD). The system and method augments existing secure communications by applying steganography to a bidirectional GEX of indefinite length. The security risk associated with the use of a single steganographic key for indefinite VDS lengths is mitigated by the use of a self-regulating indefinite stream system (SRIS). The SRIS is composed of an initialization vector system (IVS), a self-seeding reference key system (SRKS), and a non-contiguous pixel/frame reference system (NPRS) to provide continuous security for the entire VDS life. The NPRS utilizes an adaptive steganographic capacity system (ASCS) to vary the SVD placement and complexity based on the steganographic capacity of each video frame. | 09-10-2015 |
