Abstract: This invention allows the players of multiplayer games like poker, chess, backgammon, go, board games, and video games to play the game online while commenting on the game and explaining their strategies to an online audience without sharing that information with their opponents.

Abstract: A system and method that allows media files to be downloaded to a client device via the Internet and played without commercial interruption, even when the local device is no longer connected to the Internet. The viewing habits of users of the invention are recorded on the client device, and when the device is connected to the Internet, the user's viewing habits are uploaded to a web server database. Companies that sponsor the content can use the information in the database to offer targeted advertisements, discounts, and various special offers to targeted users at a later time. The users can also access a central database, which sends back to the user targeted advertisements, coupons, discounts, contests, and other enticements to purchase products from companies that sponsored content that they viewed.

Abstract: This invention converts markup language files such as HTML files into pseudocode that is structured like programming language source code in order to use source code copy detection tools to find pairs of markup language files that have been copied in full or in part.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting plagiarism of software source code is disclosed. In one embodiment, a database exists of program elements that have previously been found to be matching within the source code for two different programs. This embodiment searches the Internet for occurrences of these matching program elements to determine how many times they appear and thus whether they are commonly used or not. The elements and their associated number of hits are placed in a spreadsheet for further observation and manipulation. One of skill in the art will see that this invention also applies to other kinds of text documents.

Abstract: Plagiarism is detected by comparing statements within source code of a first program to comments within source code of a second program.

Abstract: A software tool allows a user to filter out the results produced by a software source code correlation program that is executed on sets of software source code files. The tool allows the user to discard elements of source code that are not relevant to the analysis without requiring the user to run the correlation program multiple times.

Abstract: A system and method is described for connecting a logic circuit simulation to a hardware peripheral that includes a computer running software for communicating data to and from the hardware peripheral. The software transmits the data received from the hardware peripheral to the device being simulated by the logic circuit simulation. The computer also transmits the data received from the device being simulated by the electronic circuit simulation to the hardware peripheral. This allows the user to test the device being simulated using real hardware for input and output instead of simulated hardware.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus take software source code to synthesize a hardware platform for running the software. The method determines which processor is suitable for running the code and meeting the performance parameters determined by the user. The method also determines which hardware devices are accessed by software. If the hardware target is a semiconductor chip, the invention selects the appropriate IP and creates an HDL description of the chip. If the hardware target is a printed circuit board, the invention creates a schematic or netlist that includes the appropriate microprocessor, the various semiconductor chips, and the necessary interconnections.

Abstract: Plagiarism of software source code is a serious problem in two distinct areas of endeavor—cheating by students at schools and intellectual property theft at corporations. A number of algorithms have been implemented to check source code files for plagiarism, each with their strengths and weaknesses. This invention detects plagiarism by comparing statements within source code of a first program to comments within source code of a second program.
