Filed:

Feb 4, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/365722
Inventors:

Lei Zheng - Saratoga CA, US
Christopher Dylan Bentzel - Quincy MA, US
Kyle Kakligian - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:

H04N 5/91
H04N 7/173
US Classification:

386 68, 725105, 386E05001
Abstract:

A system and method provide server side support for seamless, scalable rewind and playback of a video stream. A video stream is stored and indexed in a network storage place. A video stream can be indexed at frame level where each intra frame of the video stream has an index indicating the file offset and the time stamp of the intra frame in the video stream. A user request for rewinding of a video stream while the video stream is being broadcast is processed by extracting the rewinding time requirement from the user request. The extracted rewinding time value is used to calculate the requested file offset. The video stream starting at the requested time is retrieved and played back according to the user request. The system also provides server side support for seamless rewinding of a video stream and scalable system performance across multiple streaming data centers.

US Patent:

8224890, Jul 17, 2012
Filed:

Mar 13, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/048035
Inventors:

David Marwood - San Leandro CA, US
Stephen M. Lacy - Mountain View CA, US
Kyle Kakligian - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
US Classification:

709203, 725 39
Abstract:

An embodiment for reusing data in content files includes receiving a request for a content file and retrieving a recipe that includes a series of instructions needed to compose the content file. Data identified by the recipe may then be retrieved from a content file server and the requested content file is composed based on the set of instructions in the recipe. In an example, the recipe is processed by a recipe player to compose a content file. In another embodiment, content files are stored in a cache as a series of instructions for generating them from portions of other content files. In this way, performance in a content delivery network may be improved by reusing similar data in content files.

US Patent:

20140362118, Dec 11, 2014
Filed:

Dec 8, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/314275
Inventors:

Owen Brydon - Mountain View CA, US
Marco Zennaro - San Francisco SC, US
Jeremiah Childs - Berkeley CA, US
Kyle Kakligian - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:

GOOGLE INC. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:

G09G 5/373
G09G 5/00
US Classification:

345660, 345619
Abstract:

A live wallpaper for a computing device is disclosed. The live wallpaper displays imagery from various image sources (e.g. Picasaweb, Panoramio, Google+, Facebook, Twitter) and displays new imagery upon the occurrence of various trigger conditions, such as upon user interaction with the live wallpaper or upon the passage of a period of time. In a particular implementation, the live wallpaper can be configured to display geolocated photographs associated with a geographic area input into the computing device. For instance, geolocated photographs associated with a user's current location can be displayed and can change automatically as the user's locality changes. The live wallpaper can be configured to display imagery that has not previously been displayed as the wallpaper on the computing device to present new and unseen images and different backgrounds for the computing device.
