    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for obtaining structured data from text includes inputting text to be transformed into structured data, defining at least one criterion relating to content of the text, applying a first matching method to the text to identify a value in the text for each of the criterion, and applying a second matching method to the text to identify a value in the text for each of the criterion that the first matching method fails to identify a value for. Each of the criterion is then associated with a value obtained by the first or second matching method to create at least one criterion-value pair, and structured data is created based on the at least one criterion-value pair. The first matching method has a higher reliability than the second matching method.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing tessellation lighting operations for video graphics primitives in a video graphics system is presented. When the vertex parameters corresponding to the vertices of a video graphics primitive are received, a tessellation operation is performed such that a number of component primitives are generated. The vertex parameters corresponding to the vertices of the component primitives are then calculated utilizing the vertex parameters for the original video graphics primitive. Such calculation operations include determining a corresponding normal vector for each component primitive vertex. Each of the component primitives is then individually processed. Such processing may include calculating the lighting effects for each component primitive and performing additional processing operations that generate pixel fragments for the primitive. The resulting pixel fragments are blended with image data stored in a frame buffer, where the image data is used in generating a displayed image.

    摘要: A copy protection (CP) key used by a sending source, such as a POD, to encrypt content such as audio and/or video information is derived by a first key generator associated with a first processor and is locally encrypted by the first processor using a locally generated bus encryption key to produce a bus encrypted CP key that is sent over a local unsecure bus to a second processor, such as a graphics processor. The second processor decrypts the bus encrypted copy key using a decryption engine to obtain the CP key. The second processor receives the encrypted content and in one embodiment, also uses the same decryption engine to decrypt the encrypted content. The first and second processors locally exchange public keys to each locally derive a bus encryption key used to encrypt the CP key before it is sent over the unsecure bus and decrypt the encrypted CP key after it is sent over the bus. The locally exchanged public keys are shorter in length than those used between the CPU and POD to produce the original CP key.

    摘要: A method and apparatus utilizes a three dimensional rendering engine to rotate an image based on user selected or otherwise determined screen orientation. A vertex coordinate transformation is defined for a rotated destination image. The source image is used as a texture for texture mapping during rendering operation to produce rotated image. In one embodiment, a separate set of software instructions is used for each orientation mode. Accordingly, a non-pixel by pixel based 3D rotation may be carried out using a 3D rendering engine to avoid a single parameter based seriatim pixel by pixel based orientation.
