International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382168, 382274, 348603

Abstract:

A web camera system and a method of operating the same, the system including a computer connected to a video camera that outputs a captured image. A program runs on the computer to generate a histogram that provides a distribution of pixel intensities associated with the image. A static image indicating a low contrast image is uploaded to the web server when a width of the distribution is less than a predetermined threshold value; otherwise, the captured image is uploaded to the web server.

Nov 14, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/003147

Inventors:

Bradford H. Needham - North Plains OR, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

235375, 725 86

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments facilitate correlation between recordings of an event, e. g. , photographs, videos, audio recordings, holographic recordings, etc. , and one interested in obtaining a copy of the recordings, e. g. , participants, watchers/audience, managers, other recorders, etc. As recordings from a particular location in the event are made, a signal is emitted by the recorder that may be received by recipients, such as people or locations, e. g. , desired vantage points, seats, etc. The emitted signal includes an identifier that allows a recipient to identify the recording. Use of the emitted signal may be limited to people or locations near the recorder. A broker service may facilitate anonymous or face-to-face commercial sales or other distribution of recordings between recorders and recipients.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709243

Abstract:

Limiting propagation of requests for a file in a peer to peer media sharing system may be accomplished by sharing index information associated with the file from a first network node to a second network node in the peer to peer system, updating a distance counter in the index information by the second network node to denote the sharing of the index information about the file, and setting a request propagation limit in a request packet for requesting the file by the second network node to the distance counter.
