Desktone Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 8 -- Desktone, Chelmsford, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,170,123) developed by Andrew W. Hobgood, Marlborough, Mass., Steve Baron, Nashua, N.H., and Clinton B Battersby, Norwood, Mass., for a "media acceleration for virtual computing services."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Streaming media is problematic for thin clients using remoting protocols like RDP that were never designed to handle the volume of data associated with multimedia. The result is large demands on the host computer and thin client CPU and excessive bandwidth on the network, which results in a poor display quality. A process running on a host computer detects an existing multimedia acceleration channel to a thin client and also identifies unaccelerated media streams like Adobe Flash. The unaccelerated content is automatically re-encoded using a codec format supported by the thin client acceleration channel. This results in a significant improvement in the quality of the streaming media displayed on the thin client and overall reductions in host CPU load, network bandwidth and thin client CPU load. No additional software is required on the thin clients to support new media types including Adobe Flash."
The patent application was filed on April 15, 2009 (12/424,314). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,170,123&OS=8,170,123&RS=8,170,123
