Title: A digital television application protocol for interactive television
Inventor: ALAO RACHAD
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2002-02-01
Abstract: A common communication language that can address all the applications running in a multitude of set top boxes (STBs) or client devices and application servers. The present invention, DATP protocol encapsulates a Meta language that provides a generic portable communication application programmer interface that requires light process or utilization and is well suited for a typical STB possessing limited processing power. DATP requires relatively few processing cycles compared to typical Internet communication protocols. DATP  reduces the overhead of the communication protocol handler at the STB and makes the communication protocol handler common for all STBs applications. The preferred DATP protocol is portable for all STBs since it is written in a native language that interfaces with the underlying operating system of the STB. A SGW (SGW) performs as a DATP server. The SGW translate between DATP  messages and standard communication protocols. SGW enables SP clients at STBs utilizing DATP to communicate with service applications using a variety of communication protocols. A content converter is provided to convert standard Web content into content suitable for display on a client-viewing device, e.g., a TV.

Title: Moving picture coding method and moving picture decoding method
Inventor: KADONO SHINYA
IPC: H04N19/107
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: A moving image coding device (10a) comprises a level analyzer (100a) that determines the maximum number of codable on-screen pixels (Nfpx) based on a level identifier (Lst) indicating a user-specified coding level and the maximum number of stored pixels (Nspx) that can be stored in the picture memory of a decoding device. Based on the maximum number of on-screen pixels (Nfpx) and an input image size (number of vertical pixels (Nhpx) and number of horizontal pixels (Nwpx)), the moving image coding device (10a) determines if an input image can be coded and, at the same time, calculates the maximum number of reference pictures (Nrpn) that is the number of reference candidate pictures that can be referenced during inter-picture predictive coding. A  decoding device, which receives a code string from such a moving picture coding device (10a), can always decode the code string properly and can perform inter-picture predictive decoding corresponding to inter-picture predictive coding on the coding side. As a result, it is possible to design the memory area of a coding device and a decoding device compatible with a coding method that does not limit the capacity of the memory area.

Title: Dvd-authoring system and method
Inventor: BRODERSEN RAINER
IPC: G11B27/034
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A DVD authoring system in a processor-based system removes an author from consideration of the DVD Specification during authoring. According to a preferred embodiment, the authoring system provides an authoring engine having an interactive graphical authoring interface, a data management engine, an emulator, a compiler, a multiplexer and a simulator. Using summary authoring data, the compiler builds a skeleton-form PGC layout structure comprising control PGC abstractions and muter PGC abstractions. The compiler then resolves the PGC abstractions according to source-target connections. During playback on a DVD player, the PGC abstractions form elements in a connectionswitching abstraction superstructure. Accordingly, in response to DVD-consumer and other control events, a source PGC preferably determines target PGC information and then transfers control, via virtual connections through necessary muter PGC abstractions, to a target PGC abstraction. The target PGC abstraction then correspondingly initiates playback of a movie chapter or displays a menu.
