Title: Interactive toy with moving parts
Inventor: SAITO SHINYA
IPC: G10L13/027
Filed: 2001-07-04
Abstract: An interactive toy 1 has a moving wobbling body 2 and a stimulation detecting unit. The toy 1 has a counter to total action points caused by the reaction of the toy 1 to stimuli. A controlling unit dictates the reaction, and the action points, of the toy 1 to the stimulus in accordance with the stimulus sensed and the total value of action point held in the counter. The reaction may be movement of a part of toy 1 or a sound output, and action points may be generated for both, in order to be summed and then counted. Preferably there is a movement amount detecting unit 24 a-d for sensing the movement amount of the wobbling body 2 and an action point generated from the amount of movement, which can then be added to the total action point. There is preferably an action table which has the sound action points listed for each sound pattern that is to be output in accordance with the reaction of the wobbling body 2. There are also claims for a reaction pattern generation method for an interactive toy.

Title: Watermarking using cyclic shifting of code words
Inventor: PELLY JASON CHARLES
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: A watermarking system comprises an encoding data processor operable to generate at least one marked version of an original item of material by introducing one of a predetermined set of code words into a copy of the original material item. The apparatus comprises a code word generator operable to provide the code word comprising a plurality of code word coefficients, and an encoding processor operable to combine the code word coefficients with the material. The set of code words is formed by cyclically shifting a first code word. An advantage is thereby provided to a detecting data processor, which can be arranged to form the correlation values for all code words, formed by shifting the first code word, using a Fourier transform correlator. As a result a time taken to detect a code word present in a marked material item can be considerably improved. The watermarking system finds particular application in identifying a point of distribution of pirate copies of video material generated by capturing the watermarked image, using, for example, a camcorder in a cinema.

Title: Monitoring execution of privileged instructions
Inventor: MCKEE BRET A
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 2002-03-01
Abstract: The execution of privileged instructions by a processor having single-step and interruption functionality is monitored by a system in which the processor automatically generates a fault, 218, when attempting to execute an instruction requiring a higher privilege level than the processor's current privilege level.
