    摘要: Method and apparatus for digital photograph presentation. A method for digital photograph presentation in accordance with one embodiment includes reading a still-picture file for a selected photograph from a DVD disk (402), transcoding (500) data from the still-picture file into a sequence of frames, and decoding and presenting the sequence. An apparatus for digital photograph presentation in accordance with one embodiment is a DVD player device (400 or 410) that includes a transcoder (404 or 412) for converting in real-time (see 500) still-picture files to sequences of frames, a navigator (406) for selecting the still-picture files and for controlling the transcoder (404 or 412) to direct presentation of the sequences. A method for digital photograph presentation in accordance with another embodiment includes encoding (300) onto a DVD disc (202) MPEG2 sequences that include the digital photographs as I-picture frames, inserting the DVD disc into a DVD player (200), and navigating amongst the MPEG2 sequences and displaying selected photographs using the DVD player (200). An apparatus for digital photograph presentation in accordance with another embodiment is a DVD player (400 or 410) that includes a navigator (204) for selecting the digital photographs encoded as MPEG2 sequences on a DVD disk (202), an MPEG2 decoder (104) for receiving and decoding the MPEG2 sequences, and a frame buffer (106) for buffering the decoded MPEG2 sequences to be output as at least one video signal from the DVD player.

    摘要: A system and method for identification tag resolution is disclosed. The method discloses the elements of: identifying a set of attributes for a structure; assigning a tag to the structure; scanning the tag with a tag scanner; and modifying the structure's attributes, in response to scanning the tag. The structure's attributes can be modified in response to a value of a variety of variables, including a spatial variable, an orientational variable, a temporal variable, and a trust variable. The method also discloses that devices can be located proximate to the structure and, after a set of attributes identified for the device, the device's attributes can then be modified in response to scanning the tag. Also disclosed is that a set of attributes for the tag scanner can be identified and modified in response to scanning the tag. The system discloses all means for effecting the method.

    摘要: When editing a digital image that has previously been saved in a lossy manner (whether such losses result from the editing operations and/or from inherently lossy image file formats such as JPEG), each additional editing session typically compounds the overall losses. As an alternative, we disclose creating and storing a proxy for an edited image, the proxy including a baseline image and a series of meta data representing editing operations performed on that image. During a subsequent editing session, the edited image can be partially or wholly reconstructed by applying the meta data to the baseline image, resulting in a comparatively lossless version thereof. The reconstructed image can be used as a starting point for additional edits, thereby minimizing the compound losses that would otherwise have resulted.

    摘要: A method and system of tracking documents uses tags and a workflow. Initially, a workflow is developed for each document or type of documents using a state diagram. The workflow specifies a subset of one or more destinations that the document is allowed to travel and a sequence for this travel. A tag is associated with each document to enable tracking of the document as it passes the one or more readers in the various destinations. These tag readers in turn report back position information on the document to assist in locating the document. A comparison between the state diagram for the workflow and the position information gathered from the tag readers determines if the document is outside the desired workflow. An alert is generated when the document is outside the workflow and not being processed as intended.

    摘要: Provided is a method and apparatus for performing discovery between devices in a network. Using event-driven discovery, devices conserve energy resources and more rapidly join a given network. The event-driven discovery detects a common-event associated with a first device preparing to communicate with a second device. The first device then discovers the second device in response to detection of the common-event. For example, this common-event could be a handshake with another person. During discovery, the first and second devices exchange respective information and optionally may establish a communication session to exchange further information if desired.

    摘要: A dual-function keyboard with two operational modes, a typing mode and a pointing mode. In the typing mode, each visible key functions as in a standard keyboard. In the pointing mode, all the keys function as pointer controllers. The keyboard also employs a novel “one-hot-encoding” circuitry that simplifies the wiring while allowing digital detection of any number of keys that are simultaneously depressed. The keyboard may be made of flexible materials and may be rolled-up or folded for easy transportation.

    摘要: A video sequence control system that includes an input video frame buffer and an output video frame selection component is described. The input video frame buffer receives input video frames from a video source. The output video frame selection component determines the video frame to be output according to a scheduler that provides timing information and modulation information. The timing information includes information regarding when a video frame will be output. The modulation information varies dependent upon the frame types available to be output, wherein the available frame types include at least image frames from the input video frame buffer and functional frames, wherein the at least image frames and functional frames are output according to a pattern defined by the scheduler. In addition based on the timing information, a synchronization output signal is output corresponding to the output of the functional frame.
