Abstract: A solution for objects in a publish-subscribe environment is described. An object determining unit determines an object identifier for the object, whereas a recipient determining unit determines a recipient identifier for the recipient which shall manipulate the object. An object request comprising at least the object identifier and the recipient identifier is then output to the publish-subscribe environment. Recipients of the object request check whether manipulation of an object is required and manipulate the object as required.

Abstract: The method relates to a Universal Plug and Play AV system, which comprises a media server included in a server device having a digital interface, to which a removable storage device is coupled, a media renderer included in a display device and a control point included in a control device for controlling the server device and the display device via Universal Plug and Play AV actions. The method comprises the steps of arranging an unmount icon in the display of the control device, unmounting the storage device in case said unmount icon is operated, and providing a feedback on the display device and/or the control device after said unmount action was performed on the server device.

Abstract: Electronic devices having limited memory resources cannot function in a reliable manner when the memory resources have run out. In order to manage such a situation and keep the electronic device operating, a mechanism, called Out Of Memory killer, may be implemented in the electronic device. Such an OOM killer, when an out of memory situation arises, randomly selects a program running on the electronic device and terminates it. The disclosure describes associating a weight to a program running on the electronic device which enables it to determine which programs can be terminated because they are not considered essential and those which cannot be terminated without causing a negative impact on the quality of experience of an end-user. Lower weights are associated with programs that can be terminated, higher weights are associated to essential programs.

Abstract: The network for multimedia control comprises User Interfaces, Session Controllers and Media Endpoints as functional entities for initiating a session, the entities having each publisher and/or subscriber functionality and communicating on topics. The network is in particular a Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) network and the entities act as Domain Participants of the DDS network for providing multimedia signalling control as a domain of the DDS network.

Abstract: The method for operating a file system comprises the steps of designing a virtual file to provide a result from the file directory for which a multitude of system calls is required, distinguishing the virtual file by a unique name from the real files of the file directory, and retrieving the result from the file directory by opening the virtual file and reading the content of the virtual file. The virtual file is designed in particular for a file system operation.
