Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A method for parsing an interleaved multiple data stream into the individual data streams contained in the interleaved multiple data stream, said method comprising the following steps: (a) determining the data type and other parameters of each of the individual data streams contained in the interleaved multiple data stream; (b) calculating the data ratios for each individual data stream contained in the interleaved multiple data stream; (c) receiving the interleaved multiple data stream, any individual data stream contained in said interleaved multiple data stream may be compressed; (d) copying each line of the individual data streams into predetermined buffers; (e) performing decompression on any individual data stream as necessary; (f) switching between the individual data streams based on the data ratios calculated in step (b) above; and (g) returing to step (c) until the interleaved multiple data stream is completed.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
140 words
A method for parsing an interleaved multiple data stream into the individual data streams contained in the interleaved multiple data stream, said method comprising the following steps: (a) determining the data type and other parameters of each of the individual data streams contained in the interleaved multiple data stream; (b) calculating the data ratios for each individual data stream contained in the interleaved multiple data stream; (c) receiving the interleaved multiple data stream, any individual data stream contained in said interleaved multiple data stream may be compressed; (d) copying each line of the individual data streams into predetermined buffers; (e) performing decompression on any individual data stream as necessary; (f) switching between the individual data streams based on the data ratios calculated in step (b) above; and (g) returing to step (c) until the interleaved multiple data stream is completed.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
157 words
A method for parsing an interleaved multiple image data stream into each individual view contained in the interleaved multiple image data stream, said method comprising the following steps: (a) determining the data type and other parameters of each individual view contained in the interleaved multiple image data stream; (b) calculating the image ratios for each individual view contained in the interleaved multiple image data stream; (c) receiving the interleaved multiple image data stream, any individual view contained in said interleaved multiple image data stream may be compressed; (d) copying each line of the individual views contained in the interleaved multiple image data stream into predetermined buffers; (e) performing decompression on any individual view as necessary; (f) switching between the individual views contained in the interleaved multiple image data stream based on the image ratios for each view calculated in step (b) above; and (g) retuning to step (c) until the interleaved multiple image data stream is completed.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
