    摘要: This invention relates to a device and a method of relating one or more trigger actions with a multimedia signal and corresponding method and device for detecting one or more trigger actions in a multimedia signal. One fingerprint is generated on the basis of a segment of the multimedia signal at each trigger time point. The generated fingerprint(s) is stored in a database and communicated to playback devices. During playback fingerprints of the multimedia signal are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, associated trigger actions is retrieved. The trigger time point is determined as a time point near or at a segment of the multimedia signal that caused a fingerprint to match. In this way, a simple and reliable way of detecting trigger markers for trigger actions is enabled without modifying the multimedia signal.

    摘要: A computer system includes a system memory (SM) and a non-volatile memory (NVM). The computer system is arranged to copy at least a part of the system state, stored in the system memory during a clean boot-up procedure, into the non-volatile memory (209, 329). During subsequent start-ups of the computer system, the system state is copied from the non-volatile memory into the system memory (205, 305), resulting in a significantly faster system start-up. In case the configuration of the computer system has changed, the complete boot-up procedure is executed again and the new system state is copied into the non-volatile memory, overwriting the previously stored system state.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of embedding auxiliary data (XD) in an information signal (MP), the signal samples of which are variable-length encoded, for example, an MPEG compressed video signal. Selected signal samples, e.g. given transform coefficients (c(i,j)) of the blocks constituting a video image, are retrieved by decoding (2) the corresponding variable-length code words (W). The selected signal samples are modified (5) so as to represent a data symbol (b(k)), and re-encoded (7). The modification of a signal sample is omitted (3) if this causes the length of a given sequence of code words (a slice, an MPEG transport packet) to exceed its original length, or if it affects the position of clock reference time stamps in the bit stream. Insertion of dummy bits compensates for a shortage of data in the sequence.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a write controller (10) for a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a read controller for a memory with a plurality of non­volatile storage cells, to a combined write/read controller, to a solid state device comprising a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a programmer device for writing a binary code to a non-volatile memory, to a method for writing data comprising at least one input bit to a memory having non-volatile storage cells, and to a method for controlling the integrity of data comprising at least one input bit stored in non-volatile storage cells of a memory. The invention provides a reliable detection of changes that have occurred to the content of a non-volatile memory. The basic concept of the present invention is to extend information stored in a non-volatile memory by at least one checking bit. The checking bit is allocated to one code bit, or to each of a plurality of code bits. The allocation is preferably reflected in an allocation of memory cells storing the input and code bits.

    摘要: The invention relates to an ad-hoc network (100) comprising a network device (201) for configuration management. The network device (201) comprises a traffic monitoring processor (211) which monitors traffic between different network elements. The network device (201) further comprises a configuration processor (213) which determines combined configuration information for at least a first and second network element in response to the monitored traffic. The combined configuration information is stored in a data store (215) and may be communicated to other network elements. The network device (201) may thus derive combined configuration information which relates to more than one network element and may specifically determine combined configuration information in the context of location, connections and history of the ad-hoc network (100). The stored combined configuration information may be used to initiate a replacement network element or to emulate the functionality of an existing network element. It may also be used for error detection.

    摘要: When booting a personal computer, it needs to find instructions immediately to tell it what to run to start up the personal computer. These it finds within the so-called basic input/output system (BIOS) program. Usually the BIOS program is stored in a separate location, for example a ROM. It is usually shadowed into system memory (SM) to speed up its operation. The copying of the BIOS program to system memory (SM), amongst others, causes the boot process to be a relatively slow process. In the present invention, the system memory (SM) comprises a persistent system memory (PSM) and the BIOS program is stored in the persistent system memory (PSM). Furthermore, selected information used by the BIOS program is stored in persistent system memory (PSM) as well. As a result, the speed of booting the personal computer is significantly increased.
