Abstract: A method of processing a video stream, involves contemporaneously selecting first and second pairs of frames in the video stream with a predetermined period. The second pairs of frames have a longer period than the first pairs. For each of the first and second pairs of frames, there is determined a difference value representing the number of pixels whose value has changed between the first and second frames of the pair. A particular logic level is generated depending on whether this difference value exceeds a predetermined threshold. The generated logic levels are then compared with a decision map to identify cuts in the video stream.

Abstract translation: 一种处理视频流的方法涉及以预定周期同时选择视频流中的第一和第二帧对。 第二对帧具有比第一对更长的周期。 对于第一和第二对帧中的每一个，确定表示其值在该对的第一和第二帧之间已经改变的像素数量的差值。 根据该差值是否超过预定阈值，产生特定的逻辑电平。 然后将生成的逻辑电平与决策图进行比较，以识别视频流中的切割。

Abstract: A system comprises a movie clip environment in which a movie clip object is defined, and a native application that is external to the movie clip environment. The native application renders an image to an off-screen surface of the system. A composition manager is responsive to communications from the movie clip object to control where the off-screen surface is to be rendered on a display screen. The composition manager may be responsive to communications from the movie clip object to direct the native application to control one or more properties of the image of the off-screen surface.

Abstract: A system for monitoring standard broadcast signals, comprises a device for receiving the broadcast signals, a user-operable selection device for inputting criteria identifying program content of interest to the user, a database for storing data representing the criteria, and a recognition device for generating from the broadcast signals a program data stream representative of the program content. A comparator compares the program data with the stored data, and an output device carries out a predetermined action, such recording a segment of the program, when the program data matches the stored data. The system will, for example, activate a window on a multimedia PC when preselected program material is present in the broadcast signals.

Abstract: A method of detecting video sequences involves creating on-the-fly candidate digital signatures uniquely characteristic of successive groups of frames in accordance with a predetermined algorithm. The candidate digital signatures are compared with at least one signature of a stored sequence created in accordance with the predetermined algorithm. A candidate is identified as corresponding to the stored sequence in the event of a positive match.

Abstract: A method of organizing electronic documents for storage and subsequent retrieval, involves storing a summary structure describing the structure of summary records associated with each document. Each structured summary record has at least one field representative of a characteristic of the document. A predetermined number of field values identify the value of the characteristic associated with the field. Predetermined keyword criteria associated with the field values are stored. Each document is analyzed to build a text index listing the occurrence of unique significant words in the document. The text index is compared with the keyword criteria to determine the appropriate field value for the document. For example, one characteristic field might be related to topic, which could have the field values of "financial" or "sports". The preponderance of certain keyword criteria, such as "money" or "shares" would identify the document with the financial topic.

Abstract: A system for monitoring broadcast channels, includes a device for receiving a plurality of broadcast channels, a central search engine operable to search the received channels for a match with a pre-stored profile, a central memory connected to the search engine for storing the profile, and a plurality of user terminals connected to the search engine over a network. The search engine is responsive to commands from the user terminals to store the profiles to be searched in the memory in association with the identity of the user terminal from which the command was received. A device sends an alert signal over the network when a match is found with a pre-stored profile to the user terminal associated with the pre-stored profile. The alert signal identifies the broadcast channel matching the pre-stored profile.
