Abstract: Systems and methods for managing access to a device configured to capture images store trust information that is generated in response to the creation of a trust relationship with an identity provider, capture an image of indicia on the device configured to capture images, wherein the indicia are provided to a user by the identity provider in response to a user authentication operation with the identity provider, determine if the indicia are valid based on the trust information, and allow operation of other functions of the device configured to capture images in response to determining that the indicia are valid or not allowing operation of the other functions of the device configured to capture images in response to determining that the indicia are invalid.

Abstract: A system for transmitting and receiving data formatted in IEEE 1394 standard between devices using a same IEEE 1394 broadcast channel includes a CPU interfaced to a bus, a first 1394 interface connected to the bus via a first physical and link layers, and a second 1394 interface connected to the bus via a second physical and link layer. The CPU is configured for 1) receiving data from the bus, prefixing a header to the received data, and retransmitting the received data with the prefixed header onto the bus; and 2) receiving data prefixed with a header, interpreting the header to identify which of the first or second interfaces should receive the data, and transmitting the data over the bus to the identified 1394 interface.

Abstract: A digital video network interface for transferring isochronous video data over an asynchronous local area network, including an isochronous interface for transmitting digital video data isochronously, a memory comprising first and second buffers for storing the isochronous video data, a network interface for transmitting video data from either the first or second buffers over the asynchronous local area network, and a memory buffer manager for controlling the output of the video data over the asynchronous local area network and for controlling the input/output of video data into/from the first or second buffers, wherein, when either the first or second buffers is filled with video data, the memory buffer manager shifts the input of data into an empty buffer and begins outputting video data to the asynchronous local area network from a filled buffer, upon receiving access to the local area network.
