$Method of transmission of additional data in combined use of vector quantisation and fractal conding of images allowing for classifications of domains and units from code book$ Method of transmission of additional data in combined use of vector quantisation and fractal conding of images allowing for classifications of domains and units from code book / 2327301
Invention relates to communication, in particular, to reducing the message redundancy. The developed method allows transmitting additional data without increasing the volume of transmitted data with the transmission rate left intact. First, the initial image is separated into not overlapping range units to be classified. Here, note that every range unit is refereed to one of the three classes, and the said classification is applied to the domains and units from the code book as well. Additional data is entered into lower category of the domain or units indices, to the rest categories of indices of the domain of the initial image or units from the code book applied is the trial inversion procedure. Now, the domain indices and units from the code book are optimised to be transmitted, along with the data on indices of their orientation, over the communication channel. The receiving party isolates the additional data and restores the initial image.

The time slotting parameters determining the minimum time between packet signal transmissions, and data output from the time slotting buffer of the receiving device at the transmission bit rate are used to save power and enhance the quality of service.

Import control of content / 2324301
Method for controlling import of content into a domain comprising number of devices consists in checking for the presence of a domain watermark in the content, and if the domain watermark is found in the content, refusing import of the content into the domain, and if the domain watermark is not found in the content, allowing import of the content into the domain and causing the domain watermark to be embedded into the content. Optionally, re-importing into the "original" domain might be allowed. The method further comprises refusing import of the content into the domain if the domain watermark is found in the content unless the identifier matches an identifier for the domain. Other payloads in the domain watermark can be used to e.g. implement location- or time-based restrictions on import.
