    摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention is a t-commerce platform, which is linked to the content from a video signal that the user is currently watching. At some point during the broadcast of the content, a close-up of the product is shown. Simultaneous with this, a VBI-based trigger is added to the video signal of the broadcast. This trigger causes the television, a set-top box, or a similar device to capture in a memory, a “freeze-frame” of the image being shown. This action is transparent to the user while the video being displayed on the television is continuing normally. If the user chooses to perform an interactive “buy” transaction the saved image data is used as part of the interactive screen display.

    摘要： An intelligent cache memory system and associated method for reducing a central processing unit (CPU) idle time. The system performs prefetches based on data fetching characteristics of the CPU. The system includes cache control logic, a first and a second cache memory, each having a number of cache lines, and a first and a second cache tag array, each having cache tag entries corresponding to the cache lines. The cache tag entries comprise cache tags and valid bits. The cache tag entries of the second cache tag array further comprise interest bits. In addition to their traditional functions, the cache tags and the valid bits, in conjunction with the interest bits, are used to track the data fetching history of the CPU. For each read cycle, the cache control logic returns the data being fetched by the CPU from either the first or the second cache memory or the main memory. Additionally, the cache control logic initiates prefetch and updates the data fetching history conditionally. The data fetched from either the second cache memory or the main memory are also stored in the first cache memory, whereas the data prefetched are stored in the second cache memory. Prefetch is conditioned on the data fetching history, while data fetching history update is conditioned on where the data requested by the CPU are fetched. As a result, CPU idle time is further reduced and system performance is further improved.
