20120001926 | Intermediate Language Accelerator Chip - An accelerator chip can be positioned between a processor chip and a memory. The accelerator chip enhances the operation of a Java program by running portions of the Java program for the processor chip. In a preferred embodiment, the accelerator chip includes a hardware translator unit and a dedicated execution engine. | 01-05-2012 |
20120019400 | MULTI-FUNCTION REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE - In an embodiment, a method for operating a target media device is described. The method includes receiving a user command by a remote control device for operating a target media device, where a signal to operate the target media device is not stored on the remote control device when the user command is received. Data associated with the user command is transmitted by the remote control device to a second media device and signal information, associated with the signal to operate the target media device, is received by the remote control device from the second media device. The signal to operate the target media device is transmitted by the remote control device to the target media device, where the target media device performs a function based on the signal received from the remote control device. | 01-26-2012 |

20130332951 | MULTIFUNCTION MULTIMEDIA DEVICE - A method of deriving fingerprints for media content that is being watched by a user is described. For example, a user may select a particular show on an electronic programming guide displayed by a media device. The media device may then request the content stream, from the content source, that includes the particular show. The source may indicate whether a fingerprint is needed for the particular show requested by the media device. The indication may be a flag in the data received by the media device. If the particular show needs to be fingerprinted as indicated by the flag, the media device may decompress the corresponding video frames, load the decompressed video frames into memory and analyze the video frames to derive a fingerprint from the video frames. | 12-12-2013 |
