摘要:
The invention relates to a method, an interface device and system of computational devices for enabling starting of sessions from a first to a second network and to a computer program product performing the method. A name and service query is received (68) in an interface from a first computational device communicating via the first network concerning a second device in the second network. The query includes a first address of the second network in a first addressing realm. A second address and a service port number of the second device in a second addressing realm is looked up (70), the first address and a session port number are bound to the second address and the service port number (76), and the query is answered with a message comprising the first address and session port number (78).

Each label comprises at least one attribute and an associated value. A representation of the label is provided. At least one attribute can be selected and at least a further one of the images having the same value as that of the selected attribute is retrieved.
摘要:
Described is a transmission system (10) comprising a gateway (14) for interconnecting first and second networks (12, 16). The gateway (14) comprises first and second quality of service translation means (20, 24) and interconnection means (22) for interconnecting the first and second quality of service translation means (20, 24). The first quality of service translation means (20) are arranged for receiving input data (19) having an associated input quality of service from the first network (12) and for translating the input data (19) into interconnection data (21) having an associated interconnection quality of service. The first quality of service translation means (20) are further arranged for supplying the interconnection data (21) to the interconnection means (22). The interconnection means (22) are arranged for receiving the interconnection data (21) from the first quality of service translation means (20) and for supplying the interconnection data (21) to the second quality of service translation means (24). The second quality of service translation means (24) are arranged for receiving the interconnection data (21) from the interconnection means (22) and for translating the interconnection data (21) into output data (23) having an associated output quality of service. The second quality of service translation means (24) are further arranged for supplying the output data (23) to the second network (16). The gateway (14) is characterized in that the interconnection data (21) further comprise information representative of the input quality of service and in that the second quality of service translation means (24) are arranged for translating the interconnection data (21) into the output data (23) in dependence on the information. By incorporating this information the second quality of service translation means (24) can efficiently map the interconnection data onto the output data.
摘要:
Networked control systems and methods include a plurality of devices connected to a network. At least one device has a logical address that includes a device type and a device location in an environment of the device in a user readable and understandable format, such as English or other languages. The system further includes a processor connectable to the network and configured to execute control logic using the logical addresses. A memory is provided for storing a mapping from the logical address to a physical network address of the device.
摘要:
A method of controlling content rendering to one or more content rendering devices (22, 24, 26, 28) associated with a consumer environment (12) includes receiving an initial content reference from within the consumer environment. Zero or more equivalent content references associated with the initial content reference are identified. A preferred equivalent content reference associated with the consumer environment is selected from the initial content reference and the equivalent content references. A content instance described by the preferred equivalent content reference is rendered on a first content rendering device. The method may also include selecting a preferred content rendering device associated with the consumer environment. The preferred content rendering device is compatible with the preferred equivalent content reference. A content instance described by the preferred equivalent content reference is then rendered to the preferred content rendering device. In another embodiment, a consumer environment (12) includes: a consumer network (14), a receiver (18), a content equivalency server (20), one or more content rendering devices (22, 24, 26, 28), and a controller (16).
摘要:
A home control system for automatic detection and warning of abnormal behavior includes a unit for observing behavior in a predetermined area under surveillance, a unit for processing an output of observed behavior from the unit for observing, and a pattern recognition module for recognizing whether the observed behavior is associated with predefined normal behaviors. The detection of predetermined normal behavior in progress leads to a provision of an anticipatory action. Upon recognition that the observed behavior is abnormal, an alarm signal is triggered to remind the user.
摘要:
Transmission system for transmitting an MPEG-2 transport stream from a transmitter (10) to a receiver (14), provided with a return channel (16) through which the receiver (14) can transmit selection criteria for the selection of MPEG-2 sections to the transmitter (10). The transmitter (10) has a selector (38) which receives the desired criteria and then filters the sections according to these criteria before transmission.
摘要:
A transmitter (10) for transmitting a multiplex signal (20) containing a number of tables with information about the signal (11) to a receiver (12), capable of selecting some or all of these tables (26) from the signal (20) and storing them on a table storage medium (22). The stored tables (27) are transmitted for example when the receiver (12) requests them, or when the information therein is updated. By storing these tables in the transmitter (10), the problem that the receiver has to wait for them to occur in the multiplex signal (10) is overcome.
摘要:
The invention relates to automatically verifying the possibility of rendering a lighting atmosphere from an abstract description, for example from a lighting atmosphere specified in XML (Extensible Markup Language) independent of a specific lighting infrastructure and of a room layout. A basic idea of the invention is to create for each addressable light unit of a light infrastructure a so called light infrastructure capability that generally describes the effect, measures the maximum possible effect and relates the effect to a location in a semantic area of a target environment. This allows to automatically verifying the possibility of rendering a lighting atmosphere from an abstract description in a lighting infrastructure at an early stage of the lighting atmosphere design process.
摘要:
A method for selecting an application to deliver content in a networked consumer environment (12) is based on multiple factors. Generally, application selection is based on factors associated with a desired content to be communicated and/or rendered, a desired location and certain capabilities and conditions of applications and consumer electronic (CE) devices in a network (18). In various embodiments, the method is based on any combination of equivalent content, content type, sink resource, content source, preference, and resource availability factors. In another aspect of the invention, a consumer environment for multi-factor application selection includes a network with various combination of sink resources (22), source resources (24), processing resources (26, 30), and external communication resources (28, 32). The network (18) may also include mobile devices (34).
