Latest Patents
One of Keith's latest patents is titled "User interface remoting through video encoding techniques." This patent describes methods, techniques, and systems for user interface remoting using video streaming techniques. The embodiment provides a User Interface Remoting and Optimization System (UIROS), which enables the efficient remoting of pixel-oriented user interfaces using generic video streaming techniques, such as H.264. This system sends compressed user interface image information in the form of video frame encoded bitstreams. The UIROS comprises server-side support, including a UI remoting server, a video encoder, and rendering support, as well as client-side support, including a UI remoting client, a video decoder, and a display. These components work together to implement optimized UI remoting that is bandwidth efficient, low latency, and CPU efficient.
Another significant patent is "Unified forward error correction and retransmission in a reliable network protocol." This patent outlines a method of transmitting packets from a first node of a network to a second node. It includes steps for determining whether the total number of packets in flight is less than a threshold number, computing a target number of forward error correction (FEC) packets, and transmitting new FEC packets or data packets based on the number of FEC packets in flight.
