| 20080263110 | Apparatus and Method for Storing Data - The present application provides a storage apparatus for storing data. The storage apparatus comprises storage means for storing data, committing means for committing the availability of a certain storage space to a source device, detecting means for detecting the availability of the certain storage space to produce a detection result, and communication means for informing the source device the detection result, whereby the source device takes corresponding action(s) according to the detection result. In this way, each storage device of a group is bound by its commitment, if it violates its commitment, it risks the loss of its file(s) stored on other members' storage space. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090140699 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARGING A BATTERY - Portable, battery powered audio playback apparatuses are abundantly available. More and more of these apparatuses have built-in rechargeable batteries. It takes a long time to recharge these batteries. A user may not always need the full amount of power that can be provided by a fully charged battery, but only the amount enough for rendering and reproduction of a limited amount of multimedia data objects. With current art devices, it is difficult to determine when—after which amount of charging time—the battery has enough energy to render a selection of multimedia data objects. Therefore, the invention provides an indicator that indicates during and/or after charging that the battery comprises enough energy to render selected multimedia data objects. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20100229204 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING EVENT DATA - Broadcast data is transmitted in first time slices. Event data is transmitted in second time slices, wherein a predetermined number n−1 of consecutive second time slices is redundant. Therefore a receiver receiving such a broadcast need only receive one of n slices of event data. Therefore when the receiver is in standby mode, it need only be activated to receive 1 in n of second time slices to receive event data. Therefore the receiver is deactivated for a longer period, thus saving power consumption. | 09-09-2010 |
