    Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems provide for a preference engine driven personalized music service that can be implemented in consumer electronic device, such as set top box, that is capable of receiving a digital broadcast stream containing music. The personalized music service described herein does not require the consumer electronic device to have two-way communication. The necessary processing can be done on the device itself removing the need to transmit information to a remote server for processing. The method involves receiving a digital broadcast stream containing music. One or more songs are then selected from the digital broadcast stream based on a music preference for a user. The one or more selected songs can then be assembled into a custom station.

    Abstract: A server apparatus receives packetized data and transmits the packetized data over a network. The apparatus includes an input for receiving the packetized data from a signal source. An AC clock counter receives an AC power signal and generates a count value in dependence upon a frequency of the AC power signal. An output is coupled to the network and transmits the packetized data and the count value to a client device. A clock associated with the client device is controlled in dependence upon the count value.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus using a system level clocking scheme to remove jitter from multi-media packets distributed over an asynchronous network, in particular an asynchronous network. The present invention overcomes the problems associated with jitter introduced in an asynchronous network by using various time stamps to synchronize a client device clock to a headend clock and to control the data flow in the client device to match the rate that the data is received by a broadband receiver coupled to the headend. A first time stamp is prepended to the transport packets when the packets are received from the headend. A second time stamp is placed in the data frame when the data frame is placed on the network. A third time stamp is placed in the data frame when the data frame is received from the network. The second and third time stamps are used for synchronizing the client clock to the server clock, which is in turn frequency locked to the headend clock. The first time stamp is used for data flow control wherein the client controls the data flow to correspond to the rate the data is received at the server.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a disparity map in a receiving device, e.g., a set-top box, that enables user control for adjusting image depth in a stereo image set are provided. The apparatus and method provide for receiving a signal comprising a left eye image and a right eye image, encoding the left eye image as a reference image, predictively coding the right eye image using the coded left eye image as the reference image, capturing motion indicators generated during encoding of the right eye image, and generating a disparity map between the left eye image and right eye image using the motion indicators.

    Abstract: At least one implementation interleaves blocks from a stereo-image pair and enables intra-coding of the interleaved image using corresponding blocks as references. One particular implementation accesses a first image that includes multiple blocks, one of which is a first-image block. A second image is accessed that includes multiple blocks, one of which is a second-image block that has overlapping content with the first-image block. The multiple blocks of the first and second images are interleaved on a block basis to form an interleaved image. At least a portion of the interleaved image is encoded by encoding the first-image block using the second-image block as a reference. Another implementation provides the encoded portion in signal. Yet another implementation accesses the encoded image and decodes the portion by using the second-image block as a reference.
