Distributed decoding of digitally encoded media signals
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for processing a media signal with encoded digital data, the device comprising:
- a receiver for receiving the media signal;
a processor configured to filter audio or visual information of the media signal to leave a portion of the audio or visual information representing a residual signal from which the encoded digital data is decoded; and
a transmitter for sending the residual signal to a remote system configured to extract the encoded digital data from the residual signal.

Abstract
Digital data is decoded from media signals (e.g., audio, images, video, etc.) using a distributed processing in which a first device receives and pre-processes the signal, and transmits it to a remote device for further decoding. One method pre-filters the media signal, leaving a residual from which digital data is decoded. Other arrangements progressively send portions of the signal for decoding operations.

9. A system for processing a media signal with encoded digital data, the system comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving the media signal; and a processor configured to identify portions of the media signal to send to a remote system for decoding and configured to progressively send the portions of the media signal to the remote system for decoding, wherein the processor is configured to progressively send an increasing amount of the media signal to the remote system as necessary to achieve a successful decoding of the digital data from the media signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
