20100138569 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE ACCESS BY A PLURALITY APPLICATIONS - The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling access to multiple applications which are each implemented as a client application in an operating system environment of a data processing device from a shared memory system. The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing an improved method and an improved device for controlling access to multiple applications which are each implemented as a client application in an operating system environment of a data processing device from a shared memory system, which allow an efficient exchange of data for input/output. In particular, interaction with multimedia data in such an operating environment should be optimized. The invention comprises the details of a method for controlling access to multiple applications which are each implemented as a client application in an operating system environment of a data processing device from a shared memory system which is constructed in the form of multiple memory blocks in the operating system environment, which are each assigned to one of the client applications. | 06-03-2010 |
20110096849 | OPTIMIZED SELECTION OF TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL RESPECTING THRESHOLDS - In the method for management of data transmissions in a network, switching means are provided, by means of which a change can be carried out between a first data transmission type and a second data transmission type, as alternative data transmission types between a transmitter and a receiver. The change is carried out on the basis of at least one respectively predetermined criterion. The first data transmission type corresponds to a transport protocol based on rate-based overload control. The second data transmission type corresponds to a transport protocol based on RTT-based overload control. | 04-28-2011 |
20110099178 | Method for providing a table of station-specific information in a network of distributed stations, and network station for carrying out the method - After every bus reset operation in an IEEE 1394 network, the network is reconfigured. This involves a table with further station-specific information being created after the bus initialization phase, the tree structure identification phase and the self identification phase. This is done by making requests to the individual network stations. Each network station returns its station-specific information to the requesting network station. It has become apparent that in some cases a response from the network station to which a request has been sent is returned only after the request has been repeated a plurality of times or in the extreme case even not at all. So as not to delay the creation of the network node information table unnecessarily for such cases, the invention proposes creating the table in two phases. In the first phase, all that information which has been received up to a time determined by a first abort criterion is sorted into the table. Next, the still incomplete table is enabled for use by an application program in the requesting network station. In the second phase, the still missing station-specific information is then requested again and is sorted into the table when it is delivered by the stations to which requests have been sent. After a time determined by a second abort criterion, the further request for the still missing station-specific information is terminated and the table is closed in this state and is provided for use by the application software. | 04-28-2011 |
20130138707 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING DIGITAL CONTENT - A method and an apparatus for processing digital content arranged in a container file comprising internal file management information are proposed, which allow to perform processing of the digital content with one or more processing nodes with a reduced delay caused by a transmission of the digital content to the one or more processing nodes. After creating placeholder files with the size of the digital content on storage systems associated to the processing nodes, the internal file management information is transmitted from a data repository to the storage systems and stored at locations within the placeholder files specified by the container file format. Subsequently, content elements of the digital content are transmitted from the data repository to the storage systems and stored at their specific locations within the placeholder files. These stored content elements are then processed with the one or more processing nodes. | 05-30-2013 |
20130139171 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING METADATA FOR DIGITAL CONTENT - A method and an apparatus for generating metadata for digital content are described, which allow to review the generated metadata already in course of ongoing generation of metadata. The metadata generation is split into a plurality of processing tasks, which are allocated to two or more processing nodes. The metadata generated by the two or more processing nodes is gathered and visualized on an output unit. | 05-30-2013 |
20130223817 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC FILM RESTORATION - A method and an apparatus for automatic restoration of an image or a sequence of images, e.g. motion picture films, are disclosed, which facilitate removal of artifacts within the image or the sequence of images. The restoration is split into a detection process, a quality control process, and a removal process. In the detection process artifacts in the image or the sequence of images are detected and information about the detected artifacts is stored in a metadata database. In the subsequent quality control process the information about the detected artifacts is reviewed by an operator. In the removal process one or more of the detected artifacts are removed from the image or the sequence of images based on the information about the detected artifacts stored in the metadata database. | 08-29-2013 |
20140351685 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERACTIVE REVIEW OF A DATASET - A method for interactive review of a dataset and an apparatus configured to enable interactive review of a dataset are described. A user request to review the dataset is received via user input. Responsive to this request, a processor generates representative values from the dataset for a coarse view of the dataset and for a fine view of the dataset. A user interface generator then outputs a graphic user interface displaying the coarse view of the dataset and the fine view of the dataset. | 11-27-2014 |
