Appeal No. 2003-2031
Application 09/225,193
We note that Appellants’ independent claim 1 recites:
wherein said adaptively encoding comprises adjusting at
least one encode bit rate employed by said encoding to
encode said multiple streams of video frames with change in
said relative complexity, and wherein said adjusting at
least one encode bit rate for at least one stream of said
multiple streams of video frames only occurs upon beginning
of a new group of frames (GOP) within said at least one
steam, wherein for said at least one steam of video frames
said encode bit rate is constant within each GOP and is
variable between GOPs.
We further note that Appellants’ independent claim 12 recites:
wherein said at least one controllable encode parameter
comprises at least one encode bit rate, and wherein said
adapting said encoding for at least one steam only occurs
upon beginning of a new group of frame (GOP) within said at
least one steam, wherein for said at least one steam of
video frames said encode bit rate is constant within each
GOP and is variable between GOPs.
We note that Appellants’ independent claim 20 recites:
wherein the joint controller comprises means for adjusting
at least one encode bit rate employed by at least one
encoder of said multiple encoders, wherein said adjusting
only occurs upon beginning of a new group of frames (GOP)
within said at least one stream, wherein for said at least
one steam of video frames said encode bit rate is constant
within each GOP and is variable between GOPs.
We note that Appellants’ independent claim 27 recites:
a joint controller coupled to each encoder of said multiple
encoders and to said means for analyzing for dynamically
adapting encoding of at least one stream of video frames of
the multiple streams of video frames based on relative
information derived from said picture statistics and said
coding statistics, said adapting including adjusting said
