Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a system that could adaptively improve the visual quality of people with low-vision impairment, regardless of network and terminal. The low-vision impairment is described by a set of "symptoms" that is semantically defined. As the description tool of low vision impairments, it is flexible and reliable to use the proposed "symptoms" based descriptions rather than individually identified names of eye disease, because the user can describe his/her low-vision impairment by specifying associated symptoms based on his/her own experience. The inputted visual contents are adaptively transformed according to the low vision-impairment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a system that adaptively transform visual contents inputted from a network, in accordance with the visual characteristics of a terminal user. A visual characteristics descriptor that describes the information of the user visual characteristics in a predetermined format is proposed. The descriptor includes the information of the color vision deficiency type and the color vision deficiency degree. The color vision deficiency may be described in numerical degree or textual degree. The invention adaptively transforms visual contents differently in accordance with the color vision deficiency type.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a language representation method and data structure for updating an IPMP tool, a method for updating an IPMP tool using the same and a client apparatus using the same in protection and management of multimedia contents, by which the IPMP tool can be represented dynamically in order to provide convenience to users. In the language representation method for updating an IPMP tool in an MPEG-21 multimedia framework, an update element, which describes update information of the IPMP tool, is defined as a higher level element; and a location element, which has information on a location allowing the IPMP tool to be carried thereto, is described as a lower level element of the update element.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to modality conversion for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) according to media resources, which includes the steps of receiving a modality conversion descriptor in which the characteristics of the modality conversion of the multimedia contents are described, receiving the multimedia contents, and converting the modality of the multimedia contents into a modality determined according to a media resource and the modality conversion descriptor. According to the present invention, a systematic approach to a design for an overlap content value model is provided so that the conversion boundaries between modalities can be quantitatively calculated. As a result, the correlation between various modalities can be established in a single model, and modality conversion supporting the optimal QoS can be performed.
