摘要： A demodulated multimedia signal is generated based on a captured handheld multimedia signal or a captured terrestrial multimedia signal where the handheld multimedia signal is formatted for reproduction on a handheld device and the terrestrial multimedia signal is formatted for reproduction on a computer system. The demodulated multimedia signal or a decoded multimedia signal (based on the demodulated multimedia signal) is transferred to a computer system for visual and/or audible reproduction on a computer system or for transmission to another computer system. The video information associated with the transferred signal is scaled by the computer system prior to display to match the display characteristics and capabilities of the computer system. The transferred signal may correspond to multiple channels of multimedia signals thereby enabling the display of multiple multimedia signals at the same time.

摘要： A technique for adjusting or modifying content delivery to devices is provided, thereby offering a degree of power consumption control in such devices. The device can determine a need to modify power consumption, either in response to an input or via detection of an unfavorable power supply condition. In response, the device sends a request to an infrastructure for at least one reduced rate data stream. Because the at least one reduced rate data stream requires less processing power when undergoing decoding operations, the device subsequently consumes less power. In one embodiment of the present invention, the determination of the unfavorable power supply condition may be based on a configurable power condition profile. Furthermore, subsequent to receiving the at least one reduced rate data stream, the device may provide a request to the infrastructure for at least one increased rate data stream.

摘要： A method and apparatus for reducing net power consumption in a computer system includes identifying a plurality of processing states operable to execute a task. A processing state and current drain pattern is selected that is most power efficient. A selected processing state may include one or more processing elements of the computer system such as one or more processors or accelerators and indicates the manner in which one or more portions of the received task may be distributed among the processing elements of the computer system. The current drain pattern selected may be a constant current drain pattern or a pulsed current drain pattern and may be selected to optimize power consumption when executing the task among the one or more processing elements.
