  • Patent number: 8862626
    Abstract: The navigation overhead and/or the content managing/updating overhead is reduced by providing link objects with condition data being associated with the link items of the link objects so that, depending on a check as to whether the condition data is fulfilled or not, an automatic handling of a link object may be performed. For example, the automatic handling may have an automatic appointing an object ID referred to by a link item of the link object that has condition data associated therewith which is fulfilled, as a newly-selected object ID.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8788693
    Abstract: When generating a data stream, text data, an escape-start-sequence, a first number of data units, an escape-continuation-sequence and a second number of data units are entered into a data stream. A base decoder displays only the text data and skips the data units referenced by the escape-start-sequence and the escape-continuation-sequence, while an extension decoder reads those data units and processes them together.

  • Patent number: 8595285
    Abstract: A text-based information transmission is made complying with a greater number of transport-layer systems by performing the fragmentation and de-fragmentation of the information object at the application-layer side rather than at transport-layer domain. By this manner, the text-based information service is not restricted to transport-layer systems accommodating the maximum size of the information objects. Rather, it is possible to adjust the fragmentation size of the fragments into which the information objects are fragmented to the maximum transport packet content section size offered by the transport layer within the application layer. The fragment size may even vary in a time-varying manner responsive to instructions from the transport layer posed onto the transport layer in consequence of time-varying transmission channel characteristics, for example.

  • Patent number: 7895496
    Abstract: A transmitter for transmitting information data present in a plurality of data sets comprises an assigner for assigning offset information to one or more data sets of the plurality of data sets, the offset information indicating where the data set is to be written in a memory of a receiver. Furthermore, the transmitter comprises a transmitting unit for transmitting a plurality of data sets and the offset information associated with the data set. Hereby, it is possible to effect improved error correction as opposed to the prior art.
