Frame-Accurate Transport Of Media Data Across A Data Network
view source
US Patent:

6792468, Sep 14, 2004
Filed:

Nov 16, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/441722
Inventors:

Eric David Bloch - San Francisco CA
Jeffrey Evan Beall - Palo Alto CA
Gordon Anson Durand - San Jose CA
Ralph Hill - Los Gatos CA
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 1516
US Classification:

709231, 725 87, 725 88, 709102, 709203, 709217, 709219
Abstract:

A software architecture and control protocol that provides applications with control over the transport that is frame-accurate, random-access, real-time and stream-based. Conventional server-based data network where media data resides on the server does not provide a frame accurate control of media data playback on a client workstation. The present invention provides control on the client with the implementation of a âclient pullâ data transport model. According to the present invention, requests for media data are sent from the client to the server one request at a time. The server, upon receiving the requests, retrieves the corresponding frames of media data and transmits the media data back to the client one frame at a time. In this way, the present invention allows a user-interface to provide frame accurate controls on the client workstation, while allowing for real-time playback of media data that resides on the server.

US Patent:

7275105, Sep 25, 2007
Filed:

Mar 25, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/105787
Inventors:

Eric D. Bloch - San Francisco CA, US
Max D. Carlson - San Francisco CA, US
Pablo Kang - San Francisco CA, US
Christopher Kimm - San Francisco CA, US
Oliver W. Steele - Brookline MA, US
David T. Temkin - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:

Laszlo Systems, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
US Classification:

709227, 709203
Abstract:

The present invention provides software developers with the capability to create applications that can access information online and offline without having to program such capabilities into their applications. An application can gather information from various remote data sources via a network or other communication means, and still have access to all or a portion of that information when the computing device running the application is no longer connected to the network. In one embodiment, a client manages information access, caching and synchronization for the application. When connected, information accessed is stored in a local data store on (or near) the computing device. When disconnected, requests are run against the local data store instead of the remote data source. When reconnected, information is synchronized between the local data store and the remote data source.

Seamless Playback Of Multiple Clips Of Media Data Across A Data Network

US Patent:

7448062, Nov 4, 2008
Filed:

Nov 16, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/441729
Inventors:

Eric David Bloch - San Francisco CA, US
Jeffrey Evan Beall - Palo Alto CA, US
Gordon Anson Durand - San Jose CA, US
Ralph Hill - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04N 7/173
G06F 15/16
US Classification:

725 93, 725 90, 725100, 709219, 709231
Abstract:

A software architecture and control protocol that provides seamless playback of multiple clips of media data across a data network. Conventional server-based data network architecture where playback logic resides on the servers does not provide the capability of seamless playback of multiple clips stored in different servers. The present invention allows users to specify a playlist and provides control on the client with the implementation of a “client pull” data transport model. According to the present invention, the playlist is translated into a plurality of frame accurate requests, which are sent from the client to the servers one request at a time. The servers, upon receiving the requests, retrieve the corresponding frames of media data and transmit the media data back to the client. In this way, the present invention allows a user-interface to provide seamless playback of multiple clips that reside on different servers on the client workstation.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
US Classification:

709203
Abstract:

A server is disclosed that presents content to a client. The server receives a request for particular content. In response to the request, the server accesses data and/or code that describes the particular content. The server compiles that code and/or data to create executable code, and transmits the executable code to the client for execution on the client. In one embodiment, the code describing the particular content is a mark-up language description. In various implementations, the executable code includes a user interface that provides access to the requested content.
