Abstract: A segmented 3D multi-view image generator generates fewer multi-view view images for partitions having less salient features. Saliency values are calculated based on a depth map and image processing of the input image. The saliency values are compared to thresholds to map pixel locations to first, second, and third partitions. First, second, and third segmented images are created from the input image using a partition map. A multi-view generator uses the depth map and viewer eye locations to generates 28 view images from the first segmented image, 14 unique view images from the second segmented image that are replicated to 28 view images, and 7 unique view images from the third segmented image that are replicated to 28 view images. The view images for each segment are interlaced to generated interlaced segmented images that are then integrated together into a single 3D image that drives a 28-view autostereoscopic display.

Abstract: A method with novel procedures to enable device mobility in ZigBee networks is invented and the method can be used in ZigBee systems for managing mobile devices under different applications, like mobile devices control system and mobile announcement system. The method solves the problems of the short address assignment and pending data buffering for the left-over devices in a ZigBee system. The present invention is dedicated to the management of mobile devices in a ZigBee system.

Abstract: A communication interface facilitates connection of a plurality of wireless USB compatible hosts with at least a WUSB device in a wireless USB environment at the same time. The communication interface includes a host detector that detects the presence of an active host or a plurality of active hosts, a host communicator for establishing wireless USB connection with a plurality of hosts, and a controller for causing time division multiplexed (TDM) data communication between active hosts and at least one device.
