摘要:
A method is proposed to enable to automatically record a plurality of content programs that are listed for being broadcast. The method identifies alternative sources for supply of a specific one of the content programs; and conditionally selects a suitable one of the alternative sources for supply of the specific content program in order to avoid a scheduling conflict between recordings.

A method of managing a distributed storage system (1) comprising a plurality of storage devices (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) on a network (N), wherein an autonomous function can be assigned to any storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) of the distributed storage system (N), which autonomous function comprises collecting content according to a configurable profile (3) for the storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) to which the autonomous function is assigned, and wherein a first storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) of the distributed storage system (1), before leaving the network (N), delegates the responsibility for an autonomous function of that first storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) to a second storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) of the distributed storage system (1), and wherein the second storage device assumes responsibility for the autonomous function of the first storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn), and wherein the second storage device transfers data, accumulated due to its responsibility for the autonomous function of the first storage device (D1, D2, . . . Dn), to the first storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) when the first storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) returns to the network (N). The invention also relates to a storage device (D1, D2, . . . , Dn) for use in a distributed storage system (1), and to a distributed storage system (1) comprising such storage devices (D1, D2, . . . , Dn).
摘要:
A method of enabling a user to obtain a query result in a data network is provided taken latency problems of decentralised networks comprising a number of entities into account. The method comprises the steps of sending a query from a requesting entity to a number of further entities in the data network, receiving responses from at least some of the further entities and determining an initial relative response time for an initial group of said responses, determining a current relative response time for further incoming responses, comparing the initial relative response time with the current relative response time, and presenting the responses to a user of the requesting entity when the difference between the initial relative response time and the current relative response time exceeds a relative response-time parameter Further, a computer readable medium and a device provided with or for carrying out such methods are provided.
摘要:
2D images are registered with 3D volume data. In order to provide 2D/3D registration with a facilitated workflow 3D volume data (112) of an object, having a frame of reference is received. A transformation plane (116) is defined in relation to the 3D volume data. A 2D image of the object with an image plane is received. The transformation plane is projected on the image plane. The frame of reference is aligned with the 2D image. At least one alignment interaction value (128) is projected (130) on the transformation plane to determine (134) at least one transformed interaction value (132). The frame of reference is translated with the at least one transformed interaction value.

The present invention relates to interactive registration of 2D images with 3D volume data, and in particular relates to the registration of two 2D images with 3D volume data. In order to provide 2D/3D registration with a facilitated workflow for the user, an example of a method is provided comprising the steps of providing (110) 3D volume data (112) of an object, comprising a frame of reference; defining (114) a transformation plane (116) in relation to the 3D volume data perpendicular to the image plane of the first image; aligning the frame of reference with the second 2D image, wherein at least one alignment interaction value (128) is projected (130) on the transformation plane to determine (134) at least one transformed interaction value (132); and translating (136) the frame of reference with the at least one
摘要:
In a broadcast system (210) each broadcast content item is identified by a broadcast Content Reference Identifier (CRID). In a storage device (220) with a storage (240) each broadcast content item is identified by a local CRID. A processor (230) stores a CRID list that includes for CRIDs an associated validity interval including a starting date and an ending date during which interval the CRID is unique for the content item. When the processor receives (400) a broadcast CRID, it determines (410) an initial validity interval for the broadcast CRID. The initial validity interval includes a starting date and an ending date during which interval the broadcast CRID is unique for the broadcast content item. It then determines (420) whether the initial validity interval overlaps with a validity interval stored in the CRID list for an identical CRID. If there is no overlap it adds (430) the broadcast CRID to the CRID list.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a network device for assisting a user in selecting content. This is done by entering a user group comprising users having a common interest, requesting an indication of content of interest from at least a part of said user group, receiving an indication of content of interest from at least a part of said user group, generating a list of most popular content based on said indication of content of interest received from at least a part of said user group, and assisting the user in selecting said content by presenting said list to said user.
摘要:
A data storage system comprises a plurality of portable data storage devices (12) coupled via a network (10). Each of the portable data storage devices (12) has an associated storage profile, which defines a which data objects will be stored in the storage device. A recommended profile for at least one of the portable data storage devices us automatically generated, using the steps of—collecting profile information about storage profiles for portable data storage devices (12) other than the at least one of the portable data storage devices (12) and/or data object information about properties of data objects stored by the portable data storage devices (12) other than the at least one of the portable data storage devices (12), —using the profile information and/or data information to guide generation of the recommended storage profile.
摘要:
A method is presented for representing first metadata 260 according to a first standard, such as MPV, and associated with a digital content item 220 as second metadata 330 according to a second standard, such as UPnP CDS. The second metadata is associated with the same digital content item 450. The first metadata is part of an index file 200 capable of storing metadata 250, 260, 270, 280 for a plurality of digital content items 210, 220, 230, 240. The first metadata 260 is identifiable in the index file 200 through a content item identifier ID2. The method includes associating with the second metadata 220 an index file locator 331 representing a location in a storage where the index file 200 is stored; and the content item identifier ID2 in a field 332.
