  • Patent number: 11582270
    Abstract: Technologies for casting digital media content include a source computing device communicatively coupled to a destination computing device. The source computing device is configured to transmit a set of identifiers of the source computing device to the destination computing device and receive a set of identifiers of the destination computing device from the destination computing device. Each set of identifiers includes a version (e.g., hardware or software) associated with the respective computing device and a unique identifier of the respective computing device. The source computing device is additionally configured to determine a subset of casting session parameters from a set of casting session parameters based on the one or more capabilities of the destination computing device which are usable by the destination computing device to establish a casting session and stream digital media content in accordance with the subset of casting session parameters. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 6560577
    Abstract: The present invention discloses method and system of encoding audio information (e.g., music, speech, etc.) from an analog medium (e.g., vinyl recordings, cassette tapes, etc.) into a compressed, track-oriented, digital format using attribute information and silence detection. The invention generates an analog audio signal by reproducing the audio information recorded on the analog medium, which is recorded on a plurality of discrete analog tracks. The analog audio signal is then sampled to generate a digital audio file (i.e., WAV file). The digital audio file is filtered to correct defects and then separated into a plurality of discrete digital audio tracks. Attribute information, such as track length, is accessed and confirmed by silence detection techniques in order to provide separation.

  • Publication number: 20030005081
    Abstract: A method and system for caching web addresses are presented. A network interface monitors traffic on a network. A filter extracts web addresses from the monitored traffic. A database stores the extracted web addresses. A network device queries the database. The query returns zero or more web addresses to the network device. As such, a user of a limited-input network device may access desired web addresses without manually inputting the addresses.

  • Publication number: 20030005306
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for data synchronization between a client and a repository. According to one embodiment, data synchronization between a client and a repository is performed based on the results of a comparison between message digests associated with files stored on the client and a database of message digests stored on the repository. The message digests generated on the client uniquely identify the content of files stored on the client. This unique identification of the contents of the files on the client is accomplished by performing a cryptographic hash of the contents of the individual files. The database of message digests stored on the repository contains message digests from clients that are stored in the database at the time of data synchronization. By comparing message digests generated on the client with those stored on the repository, the need for data synchronization may be efficiently determined.
