Abstract: Described herein are methods and apparatus for the identification of locations in a presentation stream based on metadata associated with the presentation stream. Locations within a presentation stream are identified using signature data associated with the presentation stream. The identified locations within a presentation stream may be utilized to identify boundaries of segments within the presentation stream, such as logical chapters, scenes or other sections of the content. The identified segments of the presentation stream may then be selectably viewed by a user.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and apparatus for the identification of locations in a presentation stream based on metadata associated with the presentation stream. Locations within a presentation stream are identified using signature data associated with the presentation stream. The identified locations within a presentation stream may be utilized to identify boundaries of segments within the presentation stream, such as segments of a show and interstitials (e.g., commercials) of the show. The identified portions of a presentation stream may then be utilized for filtering segments of content during presentation.

Abstract: A method is presented for providing information associated with a geographical area to users of broadcast communication receivers. The information, as well as an indication of the geographical area associated with the information, are transmitted to, and received by, each of the broadcast communication receivers. In each of the receivers, the indication of the geographical area is compared with a geographic code associated with, and stored within, the receiver. Each of the receivers also relays the information to the user of the receiver if the geographic code indicates that the receiver is located within the geographical area.

Abstract: A process of pre-downloading video event data to a client may include: selecting such data prior to its availability for viewing or receiving a selection from a client device to select such data prior to its availability; downloading the pre-selected data to the client device at least by a specified time; and rendering the downloaded data viewable at the specified time. A system for pre-downloading video event data may include: a processor configured to select such data prior to its availability or a client device configured to select such data prior to its availability; and a processor configured to download the pre-selected data to the client device at least by a specified time and configured to render the downloaded data viewable at the specified time. Such exemplary process and system may provide pre-downloading of video event data such that the data is on-demand as of the specified time.

Abstract: In a microcomputer system having a main memory accessed by both the CPU and the CRT controller, a page register system receives page bits defining both CPU and CRT pages from the CPU. The CPU page bits are combined with lower order address bits from the CPU for CPU access cycles, and the CRT page bits are combined with lower order address bits from CRT controller for CRT access cycles. Both the CPU and CRT controller can access any of the pages in the memory. For compatibility with higher level systems, the CPU may provide addresses in a range outside the range of addresses for the memory. When a decoder detects such addresses, it directs CPU address bits, corresponding in order to the CPU page bits, to address the memory instead of the CPU page bits.

Abstract: A microcomputer system employs internal read-only memory devices and external read-only memory devices in pluggable cartridges. Each cartridge includes jumper links in leads from the external memories through the cartridge socket to a memory select unit and jumper links in leads leading from earth through the cartridge socket to enable inputs of the internal memories. By linking selected ones of the jumper links in the cartridge, the external memory can be used as an add-on memory or as a base memory replacing the internal memory.

Abstract: In a raster scan digital display system, a display image is stored, as coded characters or a bit map, which is larger than the display image. In order to define an image, within the stored image, for display, the addressing system for the memory (or memories) storing the image include a display image defining circuit. This circuit includes an address counter which is incremented to define successive addresses of data in a line of the displayed image, or row of characters therein. The circuit includes a first register to receive the initial address of a display image and a second register to receive a value indicating the width of the stored image. For the initial line (or character row) of a displayed image, the address counter is loaded from the first register and incremented from the initial address. For each subsequent line (or character row) the address from which the counter is incremented is the sum of the initial address of the previous line (or character row) and the value in the second register.
