Patent number: 8132030Abstract: A device and a method for managing power consumption of a plurality of data processing units. A scheduler (280) schedules a first process step for a first data processing unit (200) consuming a high power within a first deadline and a second process step for a second data processing unit (240) also consuming a high power within a second deadline. The scheduler further schedules the first process step and the second process step such that the two process steps do not occur concurrently thereby reducing the peak power draw from a power supply while preserving deadlines. This is particularly beneficial in battery-operated equipment, such as portable electronic multimedia devices, since peak power drain has been found to be an important factor in determining the battery capacity.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Siarhei Yermalayeu, Ozcan Mesut, Steven Broeils Luitjens, Jozef Pieter Van Gassel, Artur Tadeusz Burchard, Gilein De Nijs

Publication number: 20080186793Abstract: Portable devices are usually synchronized with servers like personal computers. Furthermore, most portable devices provide a user with the possibility to generate data objects or to obtain data objects from other sources than the personal computer. This means that of certain data objects a backup exists, as they are stored on the personal computer. Other data objects are unique, as the user does not have a backup at his or her disposal. Energy is a precious commodity in portable devices. A memory, in particular a volatile memory, consumes power. In case energy is required for keeping data objects stored, of which no backup is at the disposal of the user, but this energy might not be available in the future due to battery level, storage of data objects of which a backup exists is sacrificed for the benefit of storage of data objects for which there is no backup.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2005Publication date: August 7, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Jozef Pieter Van Gassel, Hendrikus Bernardus Van Den Brink, Artur Burchard, Steven Broelis Luitjens, Ozcan Mesut, Siarhei Yermalayeu

Publication number: 20070245048Abstract: Content is transferred between a first storage device (50) and a second storage device (20) when the devices are selectively connected. An order of priority is determined for content which requires transfer The content is then transferred according to the determined order of priority. This allows content to be transferred in an order which should ensure that the second storage device stores as much useful data as possible after interruption of the transfer The order of priority can be based on importance of the content (e.g. user defined importance settings, historical usage information, context information) or on size of the items. The order can also be based on the preferences of a user of one of the devices, which are either explicitly defined by the user or learned by the device. Individual items of content can be sub-divided and transferred in a different order, e.g. multi-layered audio or video.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2005Publication date: October 18, 2007Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Ozcan Mesut, Jozef Van Gassel

Patent number: 7124337Abstract: Real-time audio video applications require guaranteed request service times from a hard disc drive. This requirement is not always fulfilled due to some unexpected delays in service times. Re-allocated sectors are one of the causes of such delays. A scheme for conversion of re-maps into slips in a hard disc drive is suggested. Converting re-allocated sectors into slipped or skipped sectors can prevent such a delay, since slipped sectors cause much less or even negligible performance loss than re-allocated sectors.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Nicolaas Lambert, Ozcan Mesut, Rudi Jozef Marie Wijnands

Publication number: 20060150237Abstract: A stand-alone time-shift device can be connected to a TV-set via a SCART connector. The device offers a “pause-button” functionality to the user watching a live broadcast. Special control of the SCART's pin-8 avoids delay in the response or artifacts on the screen when the user is changing channels. This allows adding the time-shift functionality without interfering with the conventional behavior of a TV set.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ozcan Mesut, Edwin Montie, Peter Hidding, Antonius Ludovicus Johannes Heijnen

Publication number: 20060072228Abstract: Memory systems like disk drives are usually sensitive to vibrations. In a consumer electronics environment, with reproduction of audio, this is a problem because audio reproduction means generating vibrations. To prevent performance degradation of the memory system, action is taken to reduce the influence of vibrations on the memory system. This is only done when the performance of the storage system drops below a pre-determined level when it causes such a degradation of performance that it is annoying for a user. Of course, the pre-determined level is—among others—influenced by the application that uses the memory system. Actions to be taken may be reducing the sound level, but also advising a user to reduce the sound level or cancel operations that use the storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2003Publication date: April 6, 2006Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Alexander Geerlings, Ozcan Mesut

Patent number: 6986012Abstract: The invention relates to a method of writing data to and reading data from a memory (102) by a host. By limiting processing time, time restrictions regarding the data to be processed can be met. However, this is at the expense of data integrity. By setting time limits for a group (300) of multiple processing assignments and dynamic allocation of time, reserved for error recovery and retries, data integrity can be improved, while time limits can still be met. Furthermore, by attaching priorities to the assignments, multiple types of data can be handled in one group of assignments. For example, assignments with real-time requirements can be put in a group with assignments with best effort requirements. In this way, more flexible planning of processing assignments is possible. The invention also relates to a system for writing data to and reading data from a memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2002Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Hong Li, Nicolaas Lambert, Robert Jochemsen, Rudi Jozef Marie Wijnands, Ozcan Mesut

Publication number: 20050149827Abstract: Real-time audio video applications require guaranteed request service times from a hard disc drive. This requirement is not always fulfilled due to some unexpected delays in service times. One of the causes of such delay is the replacement of defective or bad sectors. By putting spare sectors on each track and extending the track skew in combination with read-and-write-on-arrival strategies it is possible to prevent extra delays in service times due to replacement of sectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2002Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: Nicolaas Lambert, Ozcan Mesut, Rudi Wijnands
