A video conference system including a first transmitter device and a receiver device is provided. The first transmitter device transmits a first video data. The receiver device includes a receiver control unit configured to assign a first identification code to the first transmitter device. The receiver control unit combines the first video data and a first identification image corresponding to the first identification code as a first combined video data and the receiver control unit outputs the first combined video data to the display device. Through the present invention, the conference participants can quickly identify which presenter is providing the video signal source corresponding to a particular frame on the split screen, and can raise questions to the right person.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for broadcasting data streams. The CDN allows a streamer to stream live (in realtime) on a network(s), such as the Internet, for a live audience to view and to interact with the live entertainment. Each of the broadcast clients send data streams to the CDN via an input node, wherein the CDN output a selected media stream to one or more selected viewing clients via the output node. The architecture of the CDN contains one or more System Racks. Each of the System Racks contains multiple media channels. In operation, the data stream of a broadcasting client is sent to the CDN and distributed into selected channels. The data streams in each of the selected channels are outputted to viewing clients of a corresponding type.

The quality at which camera data (e.g., images, video, and/or audio captured by a camera device) is transmitted and/or stored may be adjusted based on the application of analytic techniques. For example, a camera processing device may receive camera data and receive information relating to conditions external to the capturing of the camera data. The camera processing device may control the resolution associated with the camera data based on the information relating to the conditions.

The vehicle control system/method for adapting a control function based on a user profile may comprise: a gesture recognition module; a user profile module; a function control module; a processor; a non-transitory storage element coupled to the processor; encoded instructions stored in the non-transitory storage element, wherein the encoded instructions when implemented by the processor, configure the system to: identify a user; retrieve a user profile for the identified user; receive at a gesture recognition module, an input indicating a gesture from the user; identify a control function request corresponding to the gesture input; send a verification of the control function request; and receive at a function control module characteristics parsed from the user profile that effect the control function request by the user profile module to adapt a control function command for an adapted control function output by the function control module.

A split hierarchy graphics processor system including a master node executing a virtual reality (VR) application responsive to input from a client device received over a network to generate primitives for in a VR environment. The graphics processor system including render nodes performing rendering based on the primitives for views into the VR environment taken from a location in the VR environment, the views corresponding to a grid map of the VR environment. Each of the render nodes renders, encodes and streams a corresponding sequence of frames of a corresponding view to the client device. The processor system including an asset library storing input geometries for the objects used for building the VR environment, wherein the objects in the asset library are accessible by the master node and the render nodes.

A gateway device is provided. The gateway device comprises a plurality of RF transceivers. Each RF transceiver is for providing a network connection between the gateway device and a corresponding wireless communication network in a plurality of wireless communication networks. The gateway device comprises a processor for receiving raw video recorded by a video camera connected to the gateway device, receiving an identification of a set of one or more destination devices to receive a livestream video from the gateway device, determining a quality of the network connections between the gateway device and the plurality of wireless communication networks, selecting a wireless communication network with a highest quality network connection for communicating with the set of destination devices, encoding the raw video into a compressed video stream, and livestreaming the compressed video stream to the set of destinations devices through the RF transceiver corresponding to the selected wireless communication network.

Apparatus, systems and methods for receiving one or more input signals and providing output signals in various video, audio, data and mixed formats are described. One or more input processors receive the input signals. Each of the input processors provides one or more packetized signals corresponding to one or more of the input signals received at the input processor. Each output processor can receive one or more packetized signals and generate one or more output signals. The output signals correspond to one or more of the input signals, additional locally generated signals or data relating to the signals or any combination of such signals. Use of a packet router according to the invention allows input signals encoded as one set of packetized signals to be recombined to provide additional packetized signals incorporating the same or different combinations of the packetized signals.

A method may include determining a combination of values of attributes represented by reference data associated with computing devices by training a machine learning model based on an association between (i) respective values of the attributes and (ii) the computing devices entering a device state. The combination may be correlated with entry into the device state. The method may also include selecting a subset of the computing devices that is associated with the combination of values. The method may additionally include determining a first rate at which computing devices of the subset have entered the device state during a first time period and a second rate at which one or more computing devices associated with the combination have entered the device state during a second time period, and generating an indication that the two rates differ.
