20120330943 | SIMPLIFIED SEARCHING FOR MEDIA SERVICES USING A CONTROL DEVICE - A method and apparatus are disclosed for searching for a media content related to a selected media service. A selected media service, as selected by a user operable indicator, has related metadata that is used as the basis of a search query. Once the search query is formulated, the query is submitted to a search engine that returns search results of media content related to the selected media service. Media content then may be selected from the returned search results for rendering in a rendering environment. | 12-27-2012 |

20080263354 | AUTHENTICATION OF DATA TRANSMITTED IN A DIGITAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A method of authenticating data transmitted in a digital transmission system, in which the method comprises the steps, prior to transmission, of determining at least two encrypted values for at least some of the data, each encrypted value being determined using a key of a respective encryption algorithm, and outputting said at least two encrypted values with said data. | 10-23-2008 |
20080211749 | Method for Grayscale Rendition in Am-Oled - The present invention relates to a grayscale rendition method in an active matrix OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) where each cell of the display is controlled via an association of several Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs). In order to improve the grayscale rendition in an AM-OLED when displaying low grayscale levels and/or when displaying moving pictures, it is proposed to split each frame into a plurality of subframes wherein the amplitude of the data signal applied to a cell of the AM-OLED can be adapted to conform to the visual response of a CRT display. According to the invention, the video frame used for displaying an image is divided into N consecutive subframes, with N≧2, and the data signal applied to the cell comprises N independent elementary data signals, each of said elementary data signals being applied to the cell during a subframe. The grayscale level displayed by the cell during the video frame is depending on the amplitude of the elementary data signals and the duration of the subframes. | 09-04-2008 |
