Patent CA-2403729-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EVANS THOMAS F
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Abstract: Identifying and registering the electronic location of a mobile data reporting device (MDRD) operating within the paging areas of a cellular mobile radiotelephone (CMR) system. The MDRD travels freely between CMR systems and is operative to communicate selected data collected from data sources to a data service provider via control channels of the CMR system. The location registration system enables the data collection system to transmit a data message to the mobile data reporting device via the control channels of the particular CMR system within the paging areas of which the MDRD resides. Each MDRD contains a list of System Identification Numbers that identify CMR  systems that support data message communications. The SID list can be periodically updated through a series of update control messages transmitted to the MDRD. The MDRD can also identify supportive CMR systems by monitoring the data traffic on the control channels of the CMR system. Once the MDRD has determined that a particular CMR system supports data message communications, the MDRD can generate a maintenance message that apprises the data service provider as to the electronic location of the MDRD. Once the data service provider has been apprised of the electronic location of the MDRD, the service provider can transmit control messages to the MDRD via the paging area corresponding to the electronic location identified. The identification of the electronic location of the MDRD eliminates the necessity of flood paging all paging areas in which the MDRD might be located.

Abstract: Devices and methods for processing data transmission units (DTUs) that are either entering or exiting a network. A device having multiple processor modules is provided along with a controller and an interface for the multiple processors. Each processor can work on any one of the connection levels and can independently process incoming or outgoing DTUS. Each processor module can perform the required calculations and data manipulation required for BIP 8 calculation, binning, and trail trace identifier validation. The controller receives the incoming or outgoing DTUS and assigns these DTUS to the appropriate processor module that is working on that connection. Connections can be added or dropped as required by the controller which also handles the assignment of the processor modules to the connections. Furthermore, also provided is an offset scheme for the numbering of the connection levels that avoids a zero connection level that may arise due to an AIS event.

IPC: H04N5/913
Filed: 1994-05-09
Abstract: Enhancements to a video anticopying process that causes an abnormal low amplitude video signal to be recorded on an illegal copy. The enhancements in one version introduce into the overscan portion of the television picture, just prior to the horizontal or vertical sync signals but in active video, a negative going waveform that appears to the television receiver or video tape recorder to be a sync signal, thereby causing an early horizontal or vertical retrace. One version provides (in the right overscan portion of the picture), a checker pattern of alternating gray and black areas which causes the TV set on which the illegal copy is played to horizontally retrace earlier than normal in selected lines with a consequential horizontal shift of the picture information on those lines. This substantially degrades picture viewability. In another version a gray pattern at the bottom overscan portion of the picture causes vertical picture instability. In another version selected horizontal sync signals are narrowed, causing irregular vertical retraces.      Also provided is apparatus for removing or attenuating these enhancements from the video signal, to allow copying.
