Patent number: 9807201Abstract: An information delivery system, an information delivery method, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method is used advantageously to deliver content stream data easily, reliably and inexpensively to the general users. A personal computer prepares a content file and an order form file using software provided by a center system, and transmits the prepared files to the center system over the Internet. Given the order form file from a customer device, the center system encodes a content file accordingly to generate content stream data and causes a moving picture delivery server to deliver the generated stream data to user terminals. This invention can be applied, among others, to systems for delivering content data over the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Tessera Advanced Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hiroaki Okada, Keigo Futagawa

Patent number: 9602873Abstract: In a data providing server, whether or not specified compressed content data generated by means of a specified compression coding method corresponding to terminal identification information has been stored in a content database is detected, according to content specifying data transmitted from a portable dedicated terminal. If the specified compressed content data has been stored, the data providing server reads and transmits this to the portable dedicated terminal. And if the specified compressed content data has not been stored, the data providing server generates the specified compressed content data by means of the specified compression coding method, and transmits this to the portable dedicated terminal.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: TESSERA ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Osamu Fukushima, Hajime Fujii, Hiroshi Ozaki

Patent number: RE45698Abstract: A semiconductor memory device which can reduce the size of a memory cell and increase the packing density is disclosed. Each memory cell comprises a p-type active region, an n-type active region, two word lines, a common gate line and a common gate line. Two memory cells are deviated by, for example, an amount of a half bit in the direction which perpendicularly crosses the word line direction. The memory cells are arranged with one of their parts overlapped with one another in the word line direction. Thus, the size of the memory cell can be reduced in the word line direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Tessera Advanced Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Minoru Ishida
