Abstract: By understanding a website author's intention through an analysis of the function of a website, website content can be adapted for presentation or rendering in a manner that more closely appreciates and respects the function behind the website. A website's function is analyzed so that its content can be adapted to different client environments. A function-based object model (FOM) identifies objects associated with a website, and analyzes those objects in terms of their functions. Desktop oriented websites are adapted for mobile devices based on the FOM and on a mobile control intermediary language.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating the determination of Global Positioning System (GPS) location information for a mobile station without disrupting communications of a voice call (e.g. a 911 emergency call). In one illustrative example, the mobile station causes GPS navigational-type data to be regularly or periodically received and stored in memory prior to the voice call. At some point in time, the mobile station receives a voice call request to initiate the voice call. In response, the mobile station derives GPS assistance data based on the GPS navigational-type data. The mobile station then causes a GPS fix to be performed using the GPS assistance data, to thereby obtain GPS measurement data. Thereafter, the mobile station causes the voice call to be established and maintained through the wireless network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recording medium containing moving picture data and additional information thereof and to reproducing method and apparatus of the recording medium. The present recording medium has script files including additional information about moving picture data, e.g., scene descriptive text and introduction of characters, etc. In addition, information linking each script file with a section of moving picture data to be presented with contents of the script file is included in a link data file or is contained in a filename of the script file. In reproduction of the recording medium, a script file linked with presently reproduced moving picture data section is determined and searched for based on the link data file or every filename of the script files, and contents of the found script file are presented together with the presently reproduced moving picture data. Furthermore, previously presented additional information is removed depending on data or filename of the found script file.

Abstract: A digital image can be processed by an image processing method that calculates a gradient map for the digital image, calculates a density function for the gradient map, calculates a modified gradient map using the gradient map, the density function and the selected scale level, and segments the modified gradient map. Prior to segmenting the modified gradient map, a sub-image of the digital image can be segmented at the selected scale level to determine if the selected scale level will give the desired segmentation.

Abstract: A method for configurating a basic signal allocation unit and a method of transmitting signals using the configurated basic signal allocation unit are disclosed. In particular, a basic frequency domain signal allocation unit is configurated by considering at least one selected from the group consisting of a signaling overhead, a size of a coherent bandwidth and a number of divisors among specific numbers and an OFDM symbol number corresponding to a multiple of a subframe unit, each of the specific numbers multiplied to a predetermined subcarrier spacing to enable a result value of the multiplication to have a difference smaller than a prescribed threshold from a divisor of a system bandwidth. And, a time domain unit is configurated by 1-subframe unit. Accordingly, signaling overhead can be efficiently reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing a contents right object in a mobile communication terminal are provided. In the method, when a system update event occurs, a valid right object of contents in the mobile communication terminal is encoded and the encoded right object is transmitted to a server. A system update is executed and then the server is requested to transmit the encoded right object. The encoded right object is received from the server and the received right object is decoded.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a load balancing method and apparatus which can efficiently distribute load to a plurality of servers providing a software streaming service where a bandwidth-on-demand is different depending on sending times, and a software streaming system using the same. Sessions established between the servers and clients are classified into first sessions which send data for initial execution and second sessions which send data desired by users after the initial execution is completed, and the resulting session information of each of the servers is collected. A total load amount of each of the servers is calculated under the condition that different load weights are applied to the first and second sessions. A server with a minimum one of the total load amounts is selected from among the servers by comparing the total load amounts of the servers with one another, and the selected server is allocated to a new client requesting the software streaming service.
