Abstract: Example embodiments relate to asset browsing and restoration over a network using on demand staging. A method may include accessing a compound asset in the storage system and restoring it as a staged asset in a staging area of the storage access system before receiving an indication from a client device to browse at least a portion of the compound asset. The method may include accessing the internal structure of the staged asset to generate an asset directory, wherein the asset directory indicates discrete items within the compound asset. The method may include storing the asset directory in the storage access system. The method may include providing the stored asset directory or a portion of the stored asset directory to the client device over a network in response to an indication from the client device to browse the compound asset.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to asset browsing and restoration over a network using on demand staging. A method may include accessing, by a storage access system, a first portion of a compound asset in a storage system and restoring it as a staged asset in a staging area of the storage access system. The accessing and restoring of the first portion may be performed on demand in response to an indication from a client device to browse a portion of the compound asset. The method may further include accessing the internal structure of the staged asset to generate an asset directory. The asset directory may indicate discrete items within the compound asset. The method may further include providing the asset directory to the client device over a network, and receiving an indication from the client device of at least one of the discrete items to restore to the client device.

Abstract: An invention to off-load the processing requirements for the playback of audio sequences within an electronic device. A dual processing system is utilized in which a host processing unit manages a plurality of tone patterns and detects the occurrence of events that require the playback of one or more of the tone patterns. The host processing unit transfers the appropriate tone patterns to a supplemental processing unit. The supplemental processing unit performs all of the necessary conversions for transforming the tone patterns into audio sequences and playing the tone sequences. This advantageously allows the host processing unit to process time-critical events without being burdened by providing the playback of the tone patterns.
