20110210960 | Hierarchical blurring of texture maps - Systems and methods for hierarchical blurring of texture maps are described herein. An embodiment includes determining a region where a texture is partially mapped to a 3D surface and populating an unmapped portion of the determined region with compressible low frequency data. A system embodiment includes a region determiner to determine a region of interest in an image and a blurring engine to populate an unmapped portion of determined region with compressible low frequency data. In this way, when a texture is partially mapped to the 3D model's surface, leaving the rest unused, embodiments of the invention save bandwidth by padding an unmapped region with compressible low frequency information. Furthermore, embodiments avoid contaminating a rendered 3D model with unwanted colors which bleed in when unmapped pixels are averaged in with mapped pixels. | 09-01-2011 |
20130286031 | Multi-Resolution Texture Aggregation - Systems and methods for aggregation of textures at multiple resolution levels are described herein. An embodiment includes a preprocessing system that aggregates textures associated with objects of interest at multiple resolution levels. Individual textures may have a “pyramid” of resolution levels, and aggregated textures may be combined into a “tree” or a “forest”. Additionally, a texture forest may also be organized spatially and in resolution using the nodes of a quadtree, based on the 3D coordinates of the geometric primitives using each texture. A client identifies a resolution level for each object of interest in an image frame, groups objects based on resolution levels. The client may then test one texture coordinate per object at the beginning of a texture tree, recursively towards each child node of the tree, accumulating texture replacement transforms as a texture matrix. The client may then draw all the textures with the appropriate transform. | 10-31-2013 |
20140354626 | Block Based Level of Detail Representation - Systems and methods for block based level of detail representation are described herein. A method embodiment includes extracting one or more 3D models from 3D data, grouping the 3D models based on one or more attributes of the 3D models, distributing the grouped 3D models to a plurality of resolution levels of a geospatial data structure, and merging the grouped 3D models as a combined 3D model. A system embodiment includes a prepossessing system configured to extract one or more 3D models from 3D data and a block level of detail (LOD) creator configured to group the 3D models based on one or more attributes of the 3D models, and to render the grouped 3D models as a combined 3D model. | 12-04-2014 |

20130054658 | VIRTUAL FILE DIRECTORY SERVICES FOR MOBILE DEVICES - Establishing virtual file directory services by receiving a notification from a first device in a first zone is that the first device is sharing a resource. Information about the shared resource is stored in an index. The stored information indicates that the resource is available from the device. As the device enters a second zone the stored information is transmitted to the second zone from the first zone. | 02-28-2013 |
20130054691 | FLEXIBLE RULE BASED MULTI-PROTOCOL PEER-TO-PEER CACHING - Flexible rule based multi-protocol peer-to-peer caching in a wireless environment. A request is received from a requestor for a file from one of a plurality of peer-to-peer networks. The peer-to-peer network the request is directed to is determined in response to receiving the request. Using a generic rule structure, the file that is requested from the peer-to-peer network is identified. The generic rule structure is compatible with all of the plurality of peer-to-peer networks. If the file is stored in a cache it is retrieved from the cache and is transmitted to the requestor. | 02-28-2013 |
20130054831 | REDIRECTING FILE TRAFFIC FROM A CORE SERVER TO THE NETWORK EDGE - File traffic redirection from a core server to a network edge. A request for a file from a target system is received from one or more requestors in direct communication with the computer. The request includes a host name of the target system. If the host name is not locally resolvable, requesting a resolution of the host name from a domain name resolution process external to the computer. An Internet protocol address of the target system is received from the domain name resolution process, and all subsequent file requests by any of the one or more requestors for files from the target system are routed directly to the target system without accessing a core network. | 02-28-2013 |
20140036674 | SPLIT TRANSPORT CONTROL PROTOCOL (TCP) FLOW CONTROL MANAGEMENT IN A CELLULAR BROADBAND NETWORK - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for split transport control protocol (TCP) flow control management in a cellular broadband network. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for split TCP flow control management in a cellular broadband network is provided. The method includes first determining a context for a packet received as part of a data flow in a base station of a cellular broadband network and then selecting either an end-to-end TCP connection or a split TCP connection to support the data flow. Thereafter, the data flow is routed using the selected connection. | 02-06-2014 |
