Title: Transfer mode control program, transfer mode control device, and transfer mode control method
Inventor: RYOHEI TAKAHASHI
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2019-10-16
Abstract: An active region RE1 comprising an active server 1a and database 1 is connected via a network with a disaster recovery region RE2 comprising a server 2a and database 2. A first transfer time (or duration) is calculated for the transfer of a first update log from the active database to the recovery database, the first update log for data stored in the active database during the occurrence of, and recovery from, a communication failure between the regions. A second transfer time for the transfer of all data from the active database to the recovery database is then calculated, followed by a third transfer time for a second update log for data stored in the active database during the second transfer time. A transfer mode is selected based on a comparison of the first transfer time and a fourth transfer time (or duration) equal to the sum of the second and third transfer times, with either the first update log or all of the data being transferred. Quick transfer of data for synchronisation between the databases is achieved and a reduction of the recovery point objective (RPO) in the recovery database, even when takeover is necessary.

Title: Method for operating a multimedia system
Inventor: Ting-Wei Hsu
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2019-12-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a multimedia system in a motor vehicle. A first mobile network connection is established between  a multimedia device of the multimedia system internal to the motor vehicle and a cloud server of the multimedia system external to the motor vehicle. A second mobile network connection is established between the cloud server and a mobile device of a user of the multimedia system, wherein at least one user setting of the mobile device is accessed via the first mobile network connection by using the multimedia device. The user may navigate to a sign in screen in the car where they input user credentials such as phone number or name and password to generate a unique ID which is sent to an authorisation or cloud server to request a token. The authorisation or cloud server receives the unique ID and returns an access token and a temporary passcode for the phone to verify. The user sends the passcode along with the token to connect. This enables the motor vehicle to access user data without giving away the user’s password.

Title: Frustum rendering
Inventor: SIMON FENNEY
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2016-02-01
Abstract: A graphics processing method comprises subdividing a first view of a scene into a plurality of tiles, identifying a first subset of the tiles that are associated with regions of the scene visible in a second view and rendering to a render target each of the identified tiles. The first view may relate to a view of the scene from a light source 401. The second view of the scene (illustrated by view frustum 406) represents a view from a camera 402, in which a shadow map is used to render shadows visible in the second view frustum. A corresponding graphics processing system and integrated circuit manufacturing system are also disclosed. Since only a subset of the tiles representing the scene are necessary to render the second view, the demands upon processing and memory resources are reduced.

Title: Therapeutic product delivery system and method of pairing
Inventor: JULIAN SHAPLEY
IPC: H04W8/00
Filed: 2014-01-30
Abstract: A method of pairing a therapeutic product delivery device 2 to a handset 3 is described. The handset is restricted to controlling delivery devices which it is paired with. The method comprises: setting at the delivery device, in response to it being connected to a charging device 8, a pairing indicator showing that the delivery device is available for pairing, and broadcasting the pairing indicator using a radio transceiver; at the handset, discovering the delivery device from the broadcast pairing indicator; communicating, from the delivery device to the handset, an indication of whether the delivery device is unpaired, already paired to the handset, or paired to another handset (S9, S11, Fig. 4). The method may include discovering the delivery device by scanning RF channels to find broadcasting delivery devices having their pairing indicator set to indicate pairing availability. By limiting the handset to pairing with devices which are broadcasting a pairing indicator, and by limiting the setting and/or broadcast of the pairing indicator to when the delivery device is connected to a charging device, the risk of accidentally pairing the wrong delivery device to the handset is reduced.
