A method and apparatus is disclosed for increasing the security of computer networks through the use of an Intrusion and Misuse Deterrence System (IMDS) operating on the network. The IMDS is a system that creates a synthetic network complete with synthetic hosts and routers. It is comprised of a network server with associated application software that appears to be a legitimate portion of a real network to a network intruder. The IMDS consequently invites inquiry and entices the intruder away from the real network. Simulated services are configured to appear to be running on virtual clients with globally unique, class “C” IP addresses. Since there are no legitimate users of the virtual network simulated by the IMDS, all such activity must be inappropriate and can be treated as such. Consequently, the entire set of transactions by an intruder can be collected and identified rather than just those transactions that meet a predefined attack profile. Also, new exploits and attacks are handled just as effectively as known attacks, resulting in better identification of attack methodologies as well as the identification and analysis of new attack types. Since the IMDS only has to be concerned with the traffic going to its simulated hosts it additionally eliminates the bandwidth limitation that plagues a traditional intrusion detection system (IDS).

In a network supporting transactions between clients and servers over a network path having operating characteristics to overcome, data is transported to overcome the operating characteristics using user affinities and dynamic user location information to selectively preload data, or representations, signatures, segments, etc. of data, in order to overcome the one or more operating characteristic. Examples of operating characteristics to overcome include bandwidth limitations, errors and latency. The dynamic location information can be stored in data structures accessible by agents of a data server and the data structures are populated based on user activities with respect to proxies associated with user locations, or the dynamic location information can be obtained implicitly as proxies maintain connections after termination by clients and the use of those maintained connections for preloading of data for the users associated with those clients. The data being preloaded can be protocol-specific data or protocol-independent data.

A computerized method for integrating media streams from a multiplicity of media systems over at least one network into a single media product at high media technical quality, the method comprising the steps of, at certain media systems from among the multiplicity thereof: a. Generating a low volume (LV) media stream representation from a high volume media stream, where the low volume stream's bit-rate is different from the high volume stream's bit-rate; b. streaming the low volume media stream to a content generation center via a data communication network; c. Maintaining high volume local data as a high volume media stream in a storage medium coupled to at least one of the media systems; and d. maintaining mapping information between the low volume stream and the high volume local data for enabling access to media portions in the high volume media stream storage, which correspond based on LV stream time.

In a home network a number of receiving devices are connected to receive streamed audio visual content from one or more sources by way of a network hub. One source is a set top box, having a hard disc drive, which provides a real time broadcast stream, stream 1, as well as a recorded output stream, stream 2. Another source is local storage which is capable of outputting its stored content, stream 3, at x32 normal speed, that is, fast forward. If there are bandwidth limitations on the network then the receiver (receiving the fast forward stream 3 will experience errors. When errors are detected, the receiver sends a message back to the source which then takes action to reduce the bit rate of its output stream.

A method for multiplexing compressed video data streams where the time for sending portions of a video frame are adjusted to reduce latency. If a compressed frame cannot be delivered in the appropriate frame time, due to bandwidth limitations, the frame is broken into parts and a part is sent in an earlier frame time. This method allows complete frames to be available at a receiver at the correct time. Accurate methods of deriving clock signals from the data stream are also described.

The present invention improves the performance of video on demand (VOD) in a digital cable system. A statistical remultiplexer (stat mux) acquires metadata that statistically describes the bandwidth characteristics of each VOD channel. When the metadata indicates that the VOD channel will require more bandwidth than is available, the stat mux can re-encode or re-compress other streams or the VOD stream streams to meet the bandwidth limitation. The metadata is generated off-line and streamed out ahead of the VOD program content. The stat mux includes a minimal length buffer for storing VOD program content that when combined with the metadata enables a viewer to randomly access VOD program content without noticeable latency. When a VOD function request is received from the viewer, the previously supplied metadata is used to allocate bandwidth rather than waiting for a look-ahead buffer to acquire a sufficient amount of future VOD program content.

The invention provides a virtual video call method and terminals. The method comprises the steps of collecting a video image of a first terminal user; performing facial recognition on the video image so as to obtain facial expression information; sending the facial expression information to a second terminal which establishes call connection with a first terminal, and enabling the facial expression information to be used for enabling the second terminal to synthesize and display video images according to the facial expression information and a facial image model pre-arranged on the second terminal. According to the method, a facial recognition technology is utilized to extract the facial expression information at a sending end such as the first terminal, and synthesis and restoration of the facial image are achieved at a receiving end such as the second terminal according to the sent facial expression information and a pre-arranged facial image module; due to the fact that the volume of transmitted facial expression data is extremely small, the volume of the data transmitted in the video call process is greatly reduced, video call is smoother, and the influence on the video call caused by network bandwidth limitation or flow limitation is reduced.

For digitally modulated signals via a strict band-limited channel and even more than Nyquist rate bandwidth limitation, the demodulator directly extracts signal features including intersymbol interference from received signal samples subjected to filtering by a shock filter or an ordinary bandpass filter at the receiving end by the aid of a CNN, the CNN is trained by the aid of DL, and associated decision is made by adopting a single symbol element or multiple symbols, so that the signal samples can be classified by the DL-CNN under the higher intersymbol interference environment, intersymbol interference demodulation of the super-Nyquist rate modulation signals is realized, and good modulation performance and higher adaption capability are achieved as compared with a conventional amplitude integral judgment modulator.

It is intended to remove a risk of illegal high quality restoration while enabling trial viewing of contents such as music, to make it possible to reproduce contents with high quality by acquiring a relatively small amount of data, and to make it possible to implement hardware at a lower cost. To generate trial listening data containing dummy data, a pseudo random number R is generated first. A remainder r of R divided by 128 is calculated. The remainder r is coded and incorporated into high sound quality restoration data. A bandwidth limitation region of trial listening data is replaced by dummy data starting from its rth bit. As a result, the head position of the dummy data in the trial listening data varies frame by frame, whereby the safety of the trial listening data can be increased.

Wireless transmission of high-definition video, whether essentially uncompressed or compressed, is prone to errors during reception due to the condition of the wireless link. To ensure video quality during changing link conditions it is desirable to ensure that those portions of the video that represent the more important components of the video signal, such as the lower special frequencies or most significant bits, are assured correct reception at the receiver. Bandwidth limitations of the wireless link affect the amount of data that can be sent over the link. Hence, using a high level error recovery for all of the information is not feasible. Accordingly, a method and apparatus for unequal error protection is disclosed that provides a higher level of error protection to the more important elements of the transmission while affording less error protection to the other elements of the transmission.

A method of reducing bandwidth limitations to send events to a set of interested clients within a pre-defined time period as quickly and fairly as possible. The clients can be re-distributed among the servers in a network such that the delay due to server overloading is minimized by moving clients from an overloaded server to a server with available bandwidth. In addition, the latency of client-server communications can be incorporated into an estimation of download times, and the servers can then initiate delivery to respective clients based on those download times. By staggering the send times to account for heterogeneous latencies, more clients can receive the event at the same time, and a fairness of distribution can be achieved.

An evaluation criterion that evaluates a comparison result of a bandwidth before a bandwidth limitation and a bandwidth after the bandwidth limitation is selected and set in advance in a layer 2 (L2) switch device according to the present invention. An input packet is subjected to the bandwidth limitation and then output. The bandwidth before the bandwidth limitation and the bandwidth after the bandwidth limitation are constantly compared. Next, based on the preset evaluation criterion, the comparison result of the bandwidths is constantly evaluated. The evaluation result is output in real time to an input / output terminal such that the evaluation result can be displayed. When the bandwidth that is limited via the bandwidth limitation exceeds a maximum value of an admissible packet-dropping bandwidth that is set in advance, the excess is notified to a user in real time and the user can take quick countermeasures.
