Abstract: Auxiliary data (315, 414) is carried substantially imperceptibly with video transform data in combined transform samples according to a visibility threshold. The auxiliary data (315, 414) provides a capability for a copy protect scheme of verification of television viewing activity. The video transform samples (240) are extracted from the compressed packetized data stream and normalized if required. The auxiliary data (315, 414) modulates data carrier sequences such as pseudo-noise (PN) spread spectrum signals (412, 630) in different spatial frequencies to provide auxiliary data subband samples (SPD0-SPD N-1), which are in turn combined with the video transform samples (SS0-SS N-1) in one or more spatial frequencies to provide combined subband samples. The combined transform samples (SS'0-SS'N-1) are then multiplexed into the packetized data stream (462). In a decoder (368), the combined transform samples are demodulated to recover the auxiliary data signal (672).

Title: Disturbance free update of data
Inventor: JOHNSSON STEN EDVARD
IPC: G06F8/656
Filed: 1999-03-11
Granted: 2005-05-24
Abstract: To improve the efficiency for an update process in a software processing device with a plurality of memory partitions (4, 14), it is proposed to continue the execution of old software on original data stored in a first memory partition (4) and to update new software and related data in a second memory partition (14). In case the same state for data of old and new software is achieved (S4), an instant switch of services to the new software as far as the same state is achieved (S5) takes place. This processing is repeated (S6) until no data to be transferred remain s (S6) in the first memory partition. Thus, the present invention allows for a considerable improvement of the update efficiency with reduced disturbances during data transfer.
