  • Publication number: 20230237825
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wine product positioning method, a wine product information management method and apparatus, a computer device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Based on a preset camera in a wine cellar, a wine product image captured by the preset camera and corresponding to a target wine product is acquired (S21). Based on a preset wine label recognition method combining optical character recognition (OCR) and deep learning recognition, the wine product image is recognized to obtain a wine label corresponding to the wine product image (S22). A preset capture position corresponding to the camera is acquired, and the preset capture position is taken as a current position corresponding to the target wine product (S23). A position corresponding to the target wine product is described by using the wine label and the current position, to position the target wine product (S24).

  • Patent number: 7308700
    Abstract: A system and method for configuring and managing the connectivity of a broadband, cable modem network station to a network, including a state-driven network manager having a centralized error handling state and peripheral states for initialization, dynamic host configuration, configuration download, start simple-network-management, and an operational state. The operational state monitors for error and other messages communicated from other states and sends error messages to the centralized error-handling state and request messages to an operational support system interface management task. The error handling state receives error messages and requests error event logging from the operational support system interface management task. A change upstream-or-downstream channel task optimizes channel selection.

  • Patent number: 7096252
    Abstract: A network station subsystem architecture that uses a simplified interface reference discovery method and system is provided. In one embodiment a method for managing client-server communications is disclosed that includes providing a server with functions and interface methods; providing a client with references to the interface methods; and processing client requests by invoking the interface methods on the server via the references. Ideally, the interface methods are implemented by providing the server with a table of pointers to the functions, and providing the client with references to the table of pointers, ideally at the time of design. In another embodiment, a system for managing communications in a network station for a data-over-cable network having a plurality of network stations is provided.

  • Patent number: 6839355
    Abstract: A cable modem link layer bridge includes a downstream forwarding task and an upstream forwarding task. The downstream forwarding task is structured to receive a first message from a cable network and forward the first message to a customer premises equipment (CPE). The upstream forwarding task is structured to receive a second message from the CPE and forward the second message to the cable network, the upstream and downstream forwarding tasks being multitasked such that the second message is forwarded by the upstream forward task while the first message is being forwarded by the downstream forwarding task.

  • Patent number: 6549951
    Abstract: A system architecture for a high speed serial bus compatible with the 1394 standard is disclosed. A transaction interface coordinates data packets received from or sent to a 1394 bus. A kernel/scheduler/dispatcher is used to allocate memory resources, and start a variety of tasks and services. The tasks and services vary depending on protocols used in a transport layer and application layer used in conjunction with the 1394 layers. The transaction interface uses information derived from the data packets received to form message control blocks, particular for each individual task, and places the control blocks into the proper task queue. The transaction interface forms a dispatcher message control block and places it into the scheduler/dispatcher queue to initiate the task. If there are no other message control blocks in the queue particular for the called task, the called task is immediately started. Otherwise, the message control block waits in the queue to eventually be operated on.

A kernel/scheduler/dispatcher is used to allocate memory resources, and start a variety of tasks and services. The tasks and services vary depending on protocols used in a transport layer and application layer used in conjunction with the 1394 layers. Each task operates according to a state machine progression. The transaction interface accepts data information from the tasks and forms data packets for delivery to the 1394 bus. The data packets are initially sent via an associated hardware register, but if busy, the transaction interface polls for other available registers. In addition, all queued transactions are loaded into registers in the most expedient manner.
