Abstract: A cloud-based system executes a rich Internet application such as a Flash application and compresses its video stream output. A player executes a rich Internet application and produces frames of a video stream according to the rich Internet application and inputs received from a remote user. An analyzer predicts a frame being generated by the rich Internet application player, based on prior frames and prior user inputs. It also generates a set of side information comprising motion compensation data. A combiner combines the side information with a previously encoded frame to produce a reference frame. A comparator generates a residual frame from a comparison of the reference frame with the frame generated by the player. A compressor compresses the residual frame using standard compression techniques. An Internet transmitter transmits the compressed residual frame to the remote user using a UDP connection and transmits the side information using a TCP connection.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a semiconductor device and methods of forming a semiconductor device. An embodiment is a method of forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising forming a conductive pad in a first substrate, forming an interconnecting structure over the conductive pad and the first substrate, the interconnecting structure comprising a plurality of metal layers disposed in a plurality of dielectric layers, bonding a die to a first side of the interconnecting structure, and etching the first substrate from a second side of the interconnecting structure, the etching exposing a portion of the conductive pad.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus and a data processing method thereof are provided. The data processing apparatus includes a register and a processor electrically connected to the register. The register is stored with a plurality of data. The plurality of data each includes a first sub-datum and a second sub-datum. The plurality of first sub-data corresponds to a first column and the plurality of second sub-data corresponds to a second column. The processor compresses the first sub-data by a first compression algorithm according to a first characteristic of the plurality of first sub-data and compresses the second sub-data by a second compression algorithm according to a second characteristic of the plurality of second sub-data.

Abstract: A system, specialized for encoding video of animated or cartoon content, encodes a video sequence. The system includes a background analyzer that removes moving objects from a series of video frames and generates a background definition for a static background used in a plurality of sequential video frames, a color clusterer that analyzes the colors contained in a video stream and creates a major color list of colors occurring in the video stream, an object identifier that identifies one or more objects that are constant within a series of video frames except for their position and rotational orientation within the series of video frames, and a hybrid encoder that encodes backgrounds and objects derived from a video sequence according to one of a plurality of encoding techniques depending on the compression achieved by each of the plurality of encoding techniques.

Abstract: A digital media cartridge contains both a controller and memory where the memory stores a digital representation of video and sound in compressed, encrypted form. The controller reads the digital representation, decompresses and decrypts it, converts it into analog video and audio and outputs the analog video and audio to a host device into which the cartridge is inserted. The analog video and audio output are displayed on the screen of the host device and reproduced by speakers or headphones of the host device, respectively, without further processing of the video and audio signals being necessary by the host device. Besides video and audio, the digital media cartridge can also store and execute games that use the user input and display screen of the host device.

Abstract: A handheld specific purpose combined player executes game software simultaneously with playing non-game audio, such as music. The combined player has a game processor that executes game software, outputs visual image data to a screen, and outputs audio. The combined player also has an audio processor that decodes audio data, the audio data separate from the game software. Connected to both the game processor and the audio processor is an audio mixer such that audio generated from the audio data and audio output by the game processor is combined to allow simultaneous playing of the game software and listening to audio generated from the audio data, the mixing controlled by inputs from a user.
