A high-speed parallel interface for communicating data between integrated circuits is disclosed. The interface is implemented by a transmitter and receiver pair and a single-ended parallel interconnect bus coupling to the transmitter and receiver pair. As opposed to transmitting small swing signals over differential signal lines, the transmitter transmits data to the receiver at full swing over the single-ended parallel interconnect bus. The invention can be implemented with simple CMOS circuitry that does not consume large die area. Accordingly, many link interfaces can be implemented on a single chip to provide a large data bandwidth.

The present invention provides a method for establishing a location for a digital image without the use of a GPS unit. Aspects of the invention include broadcasting over a network a location identifier (ID) identifying a location of the network; detecting the location ID by a digital image capture device coupled to the network; and in response to the image capture device capturing a digital image when in communication with the network, associating the location ID with the digital image.

Aspects for maintaining and providing a calibrated color environment for display devices of a computer system. In an aspect of an exemplary method, the method includes determining relevant state data, including a framebuffer driver state and a display driver state. The method further includes saving the relevant state data as calibration information for the calibrated color environment. The relevant state data includes information about a display that has an effect on color, such as a frame buffer driver state, a display driver state, and phospher characteristics of the display.

A system for detecting and responding to an attack comprises a filter module, a node, a management module, and a test node. The filter module allows questionable messages to proceed. The node receives the questionable messages and maintains logical operations associated with the questionable messages within a restricted region. The management module resets the service node upon a network attack. The test node replays the node questionable messages to identify a new attack. A method of protecting against a network attack logs questionable messages and directs the questionable messages to a node. The method maintains logical operations associated with the questionable messages within a restricted region and identifies a network attack upon the node, which triggers an intrusion response. The intrusion response resets the node, replays the questionable messages within a test node to identify a new attack message, and adds the new attack message to the known attack messages.

A system and a method for processing image data in a digital image device such as a digital camera. The present invention includes a bus, a central processing unit coupled to the bus, an image processing subsystem coupled to the central processing unit for processing the image data using a particular processing mode, a memory unit coupled to the bus, and a data storage element for storing the image data after image processing. The memory unit has stored therein an operating system for managing the image processing subsystem, and the memory unit also has a data structure for managing the image data for the image processing subsystem during image processing. The data structure provides an interface between the operating system and the image processing subsystem, such that the operating system is independent of the processing mode used by the image processing subsystem.

A system and method for the automatic capture of salient still images in an electronic imaging device includes detecting a high contrast image, notifying a user of the presence of the high contrast image, and capturing a plurality of salient still images to increase the dynamic range of the electronic imaging device. In addition, the system having an exposure control coupled to the electronic imaging device for selecting salient still capture mode, and determined a mode of operation for the capture of the salient still images, and storing the salient still images in a computer readable storage medium.

A system and method for dynamically updating software-driven features in an electronic imaging device, including digital cameras, is disclosed. The user of the electronic imaging device may desire various features which are not supported by the baseline application program that is built into the electronic imaging device. In the present invention, the user may select removable memory devices to supplement the baseline application program. The user inserts the removable memory device into an external connector of the electronic imaging device. The computer of the electronic imaging device then automatically scans the removable memory device for executable software items, and displays these items in various menus as appropriate. The user may then select these items for execution without having to reboot the computer of the electronic imaging device. When the user is finished using the features on the removable memory device, he may remove it with no subsequent operator intervention required. The computer of the electronic imaging device then automatically removes from the appropriate menus the executable software items that had been added.
