First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for the video control of at least one information unit stream, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing an at least one information unit stream at a low video frame rate into a first storage area;
storing the at least one information unit stream at a high video frame rate into a second storage area;
selectively outputting the at least one information unit stream stored in the first storage area and in the second storage area; and
controlling the application of an input handling entity and an output handling entity to the at least one information unit stream stored in the first storage area and the at least one information unit stream stored in the second storage area consequent to the occurrence of an at least one event.

Abstract
The video rate processor (10) is made up of an Input Video Stream input (11), at least one Input Processor/Input Devices (12), at least one Most Recent Frame Buffer (14), and at least one Output Processes/Output Device (16). The video rate processor (10) is dynamically tuned to the specific requirements of a user and the capabilities of the user'"'"'s device. Further, the video rate processor (10) enables to receipt of video images in real time or from archived files while substantially maintaining the integrity of the video information.

11. A method for generating a plurality of information unit streams, provided with diverse unit rates, from at least one information unit stream having a pre-defined unit rate and distributing the plurality of the information unit streams, the method comprising the steps of:
-
inputting the at least one information unit stream from an at least one information unit stream generator device to a plurality of information unit rate control devices; controlling the operation of the plurality of information unit rate control devices via a plurality of unit rate control mechanisms in order to provide diverse unit rates to a plurality of outputted information unit streams; storing the plurality of outputted information unit streams into a plurality of data storage files associated with at least one media storage device; thereby creating a plurality of information unit stream data storage files with variable unit rate characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A method for generating a plurality of information unit streams, provided with diverse unit rates, from at least one information unit stream having a pre-defined unit rate and distributing the plurality of the information unit streams, the method comprising the steps of:
-
inputting the at least one information unit stream from an at least one information unit stream generator device to a plurality of information unit rate control devices; controlling the operation of the plurality of information unit rate control devices via a plurality of unit rate control mechanisms in order to provide diverse unit rates to a plurality of output information unit streams; storing an at least one information unit stream at a low video frame rate into a first storage area; storing the at least one information unit stream at a high video frame rate into a second storage area; selectively outputting the at least one information unit stream stored in the first storage area and in the second storage area; continuously deleting the at least one information unit stream stored in the second storage area; and stopping the continuous deletion if an event was detected.
