Abstract
System for generating, emitting and interpreting a composite stream and associated method. The invention relates to a system making it possible to generate, transmit, interpret and exploit a composite data stream. The invention relates more precisely to a method for emitting a composite data stream advantageously through a wireless communication network, and a method for interpreting a composite data stream. Said methods are respectively implemented by the processing unit of an electronic object and by the processing unit of an electronic device.
Claims22
A method for interpreting a composite data stream implemented by a processing unit of an electronic device cooperating with at least one communicating electronic object including capture means, said device including, aside from said processing unit, communication means providing a communication mode with said electronic object through a communication network, wherein:
- the data stream includes study data previously encoded by the electronic object, said study data including data of interest encoded according to a first encoding function and environmental data encoded according to a second encoding function, said study data being produced beforehand by said capture means of said electronic object;
- and wherein the method comprises:
- a step for receiving, via the communication means, a message including said encoded study data;
- a step for decoding said encoded study data, said step comprising decoding said encoded data of interest and environmental data respectively according to first and second determined decoding functions;
- and
- a step for jointly exploiting said data of interest and environmental data thus decoded.
A method for sending a composite data stream implemented by a processing unit of a communicating electronic object cooperating with at least one electronic device, said electronic object further including capture means and communication means providing a communication mode with said electronic device through a communication network, said method comprising:
- a step for triggering the production of study data by said capture means of said electronic object, said study data comprising a digital representation of a measured physical property;
- a step for discriminating, in the study data, data of interest and environmental data according to a discrimination function;
- a step for encoding the data of interest according to a first encoding function and environmental data according to a second encoding function;
- and
- a step for generating and triggering the sending, by the communication means to the electronic device, of a message including all or some of said encoded data of interest and/or environmental data.
A data processing method, including:
- a step for triggering a production of study data by capture means of a communicating electronic object of a system that further includes an electronic device, said step being carried out by a processing unit of said object;
- a step for discriminating, in the study data, data of interest and environmental data via said electronic object;
- a step for encoding, via said object, the data of interest according to a first encoding function and the environmental data according to a second encoding function;
- a step for generating, via said object, a message including said encoded data of interest and said encoded environmental data and triggering the sending to the electronic device the system;
- and
- a step for receiving, via the device, said message and decoding it;
- a step for jointly exploiting said decoded data of interest and environmental data via the device.
