  • Video input port
    Patent number: 11902612
    Abstract: In the described examples, a video integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a video input port (VIP) that receives a video stream. The video IC chip also includes a processing unit coupled to a non-transitory memory and is configured to detect the presence of a data stream provided to the VIP, cause the VIP to switch a target partition for the data stream from a given partition in the memory to another partition in the memory and to write the data stream to the other partition in the memory.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for managing long names in an application programming interface
    Patent number: 8286148
    Abstract: Software managing long names in an application programming interface receives a request to perform a requested operation on one or more fields, the application comprising a first operation operable to perform the requested operation on at least one field type. The software determines whether the field type of any of the fields is incompatible with the first operation. If the field types of the one or more fields are compatible with the first operation, then the software performs the requested operation on the one or more fields using the first operation. If the software determines that the field type of at least one of the fields is incompatible with the first operation, then it converts the request into a call for a second operation operable to perform the requested operation on the one or more fields and performs the requested operation using the second operation.
