Patent number: 8667036Abstract: Local storage on player instruments provides the ability for adding further amendments and most recent supplements to the optical disc content. A problem arising with this technically applicable possibility is the protection of copyrights bound to disc and supplement data. The present invention describes a technique to ensure a security framework that is able to handle this, by creating a virtual file system (VFS) by merging optical disc data and local storage data based upon a common identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Dirk Gandolph, Jobst Hoerentrup, Ralf Ostermann, Carsten Herpel, Uwe Janssen, Hartmut Peters, Andrej Schewzow, Marco Winter

Patent number: 8607194Abstract: Consumer electronic devices, such as e.g. high-definition movie players for removable storage media such as optical discs, may provide possibilities for advanced interactivity for the user, implemented as software applications. A question arising generally with such software applications is what the life cycle of such an application is, and who may control it. The invention provides a method for executing software applications within a playback device for audio-video data, wherein data from a first removable storage medium are read for a software application to be executed within said playback device, and the data comprise an indication defining a termination condition for the application. Based on said termination code and depending on how the medium holding the application is ejected, the application is terminated or may survive.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Dirk Gandolph, Carsten Herpel, Jobst Hoerentrup, Uwe Janssen, Ralf Ostermann, Hartmut Peters, Andrej Schewzow, Marco Winter

Publication number: 20130314404Abstract: A method and an apparatus for analyzing stereoscopic or multi-view images are described. A two-dimensional map associated to the stereoscopic or multi-view images is retrieved and segmented into a plurality of tiles. Then an analysis of the tiles of the two-dimensional map is performed. An analysis result for the two-dimensional map is determined from results of the analysis of the tiles of the two-dimensional map.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: THOMSON LICENSINGInventors: Joern JACHALSKY, Andrej Schewzow

Patent number: 8561039Abstract: The invention addresses the objective of optimizing performance of a media data carrier interpreting device. This is achieved by a media data carrier interpreting device which comprises means for transforming a machine- interpretable instruction comprised in a media data carrier into a machine-executable code during media content presentation. Said media data carrier comprises a set of machine-interpretable instructions generated according to a method which comprises the steps of generating a first auxiliary set of instructions corresponding to a set of elements wherein the elements are conform with a template and compiling said first auxiliary instruction set. Then, said compiled first auxiliary instruction set is linked with a compiled second auxiliary instruction set corresponding to said template. This method removes the need for runtime parsing and therefore frees processing capacity for runtime transformation of the machine-interpretable instructions into machine-executable code.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Marco Winter, Dirk Gandolph, Jobst Hoerentrup, Ralf Ostermann, Andrej Schewzow

Patent number: 8466926Abstract: The invention is related to a device for presenting, an image frame by help of a set of displaying commands wherein a displaying command comprises a displaying area and a displaying content. The device comprises means for adapting a first and/or a second displaying command set such that an adapted displaying command sets comprises displaying areas which do not intersect with any displaying area of the same set. Furthermore, the displaying areas of an adapted set cover a display area the image frames are displayed on. The device further determines displaying commands of the adapted second set not comprised in the adapted first set. Then, the determined displaying commands are executed. Adaptation makes comparison of displaying commands suitable for excluding areas from displaying/blitting/clearing.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2008Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Thomson LicensingInventors: Marco Winter, Dirk Gandolph, Jobst Hoerentrup, Ralf Ostermann, Andrej Schewzow
