Abstract: Performing transactions on a bus by first generating a sequence of commands by an initiator module and queuing the sequence of commands in a queue module. A first one of the sequence of commands is sent from the queue module via the bus to a target module. The queue module is paused while waiting for a response via the bus from the target module; however, the initiator may continue processing another task. The queue module repeatedly sends a next command via the bus to the target module and waits for a response via the bus from the target module until a last one of the sequence of commands is sent to the target module. The queue module provides only a single acknowledgement to the initiator module after the sequence of commands has been transferred to the target module.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically determining a type of electrical interface used by a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (“UICC”) card. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a UICC card port, and UICC detector. The UICC detector determines which of a plurality of electrical interfaces are provided by a UICC card coupled to the UICC card port. The UICC detector configures the UICC card port in accordance with a provided electrical interface of the UICC card.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with a method to control and manage the status of a battery of a portable multimedia device equipped with means to memorize digital data representing audio and video sequences, with means to process the sequences and with a display screen of the video sequences. The process comprises the steps of downloading an audiovisual data flow in the means of memorization; evaluating of the energy available in the battery; and selecting either first processing of the memorized data that needs only a part of the energy available in the battery, so as to conserve a pre-determined quantity of energy, or second processing of the memorized data that needs all the available energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of refreshing the display screen at a variable rate, allowing a significant reduction of the power consumption of the display screen. It has particular applications in satellite-controlled equipment such as mobile telephones for selectively refreshing zones of the screen as a function of the position of the video objects which move from image to image, and of the motion vector characterizing their displacement and computed in accordance with a recommendation of the MPEG2 or 4 type.
