Abstract: The present invention introduces a novel system and novel methods for allowing an individual using an IP communication device to contact an individual in an external organization using a single identifier, such as a telephone number, without the caller having any knowledge of the IP capabilities of the called individual. This is utilised by communicating with a registry device, e.g. a Global Address Database (GAD). The GAD contains contact information, such as IP capabilities, for registered numbers. When trying to make a call to a given number, a call server or similar at the site at the caller side, requests contact information relating to that number from the GAD, then sets up a call based on the information received from the GAD.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an implementation of a filter process in compression/decompression of digital video systems in multi-purpose processors. It provides a method significantly reducing the number of memory loads/stores and address computations. To achieve known memory behavior within a loop, one filter is implemented for each resolution. Prior to filtering it is determined which format the video content is adapted to, and the width and height of each frame is known before executing the loop, and consequently also the memory address of the pixel values to be filtered. For a given resolution the exact memory location of each pixel in the frame is known in compile-time and need not be calculated on the fly i.e. in each loop of the filter function. Thus loading and storing becomes extremely efficient. This will in particular boost the in-order execution engines that cannot reorder the instructions in the executable on the fly, but it may also lead to dramatic speedup for out-of-order execution processors that thus may find many more independent instructions that can be executed simultaneously.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a device for lossless coding of event tables with dynamically matching VLC tables. The most probable event should be assigned the shortest code and the respective events should have increasing code length as the associated probability of occurrence decrease. The present invention takes into account that the probability distribution of the event table may not be stable throughout the different parts of a video sequence. Each time an event has occurred, this event is moved one position up in the event table. The present invention results in more efficient coding of digital compressed video by dynamically reordering event tables to obtain a better match between event probabilities and VLC code words. This is particularly useful when coding video with light and color conditions temporarily or constantly differing from the expected conditions from which static VLCs are derived.

Abstract: The present invention is related to video and still-image compression systems. It addresses the problem of the occur-rence blurry edges in images exposed to conventional decod-ing and coding process. The present invention provides a method allowing some 'leakage' of edges and high-frequency content from the full-resolution luma-channel into the low-resolution chroma channels. It is adjusted to operate on parts of a image to be decoded (blocks, lines etc), to in-vestigate the conformity between the available decimated chroma-information with decimated luma-information. If a good fit can be found, i.e. appropriate parameters can be determined to express decimated chroma values with deci-mated luma values, those parameters are applied on the full-resolution luma values for obtaining estimated full-resolution chroma values instead of interpolation. If a good fit cannot be found, the full-resolution chroma values will gradually deteriorate to a standard fallback method interpolation method. This process is repeated for the en-tire picture and for each chroma-channel.

Abstract: The present invention is related to pre-processing of video data before coding and transmission. In particular, the present invention discloses a method for noise reduction in High-Density video images. This is realized by a low implementation-complex filter filtering the raw pixel data output of a video camera with low pass property for both spatial and temporal noise combined with an adaptation of the filter based on the high frequency content of the picture, leaving most of the image content unaffected by the filtering process.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method in an MCU for enabling intuitive endpoint initiation of a multipart conference. According to the invention, a number of conference numbers are pre-allocated and stored in the MCU. When dialling one of these numbers from an endpoint, a call will be routed to the MCU. Upon discovering that the call is addressing a conference number, the MCU establishes multipart conference temporarily including the initiating endpoint only. All endpoints calling the same conference number will then be included in the conference through the MCU and given the required MCU resources.
