Abstract: Techniques are provided for ubiquitous connection between various communication devices including PSTN phones and non-PSTN devices. A member based identification is used to link all different types of devices together and allows one phone connection request to reach all communication devices associated with the registered member. Furthermore, the communication covers not only phone devices but also different communication platforms and TVs.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for more efficient communication between two or more entities via a web telephone with integrated voice and data. A phone call may be made from a web page by a calling party and the calling party's related information may be transmitted to a called party concurrently. In addition, a conference call between several participants can be made by sending a message to each participant directing to a web page for joining a conference call and exchanging texts. Further, a secured web page can display various information of and sent by calling parties during the voice communication.

Abstract: A method for de-interlacing is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) determining a plurality of target mode values for a target pixel being synthesized to convert a current field into a current frame, wherein at least two of the target mode values are based on both (i) a plurality of original pixels and (ii) a plurality of synthesized pixels in a plurality of synthesized frames, (B) generating a plurality of candidate values for the target pixel using a plurality of interpolation techniques that includes a motion estimation interpolation utilizing a particular one of the synthesized frames and (C) selecting a particular one of the candidate values for the target pixel in response to the target mode values.

Abstract: A method for rendering an object on a display screen, comprising the steps of (A) buffering a plurality of pixels in a plurality of line buffers, (B) determining a boundary of the object based on the buffered pixels, (C) determining a direction of the boundary, (D) testing if a pixel in the line buffers is in motion and applying one of a plurality of filter coefficients if the pixel is in motion, where the plurality of filter coefficients define a modified median filter having a predetermined threshold and (E) interpolating a new pixel in the direction of the boundary.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling a display device having a display scan line rate by storing incoming data in a buffer, the buffer having a usage level measure; comparing the usage level to the display scan line rate; and adjusting a width of a display scan line to avoid buffer overflow or underflow. The system avoids a costly external frame buffer and automatically handles uncertainties such as jitter in input and output clocks when the system operates in different environments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a display device include receiving a source video signal from a video source; storing video pixels in one or more line buffers; enhancing the video signal on the fly using data stored in the line buffers; if image enhancement is not necessary, rendering the source video signal and otherwise rendering the enhanced video signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying protective page fault, which executes TLB table walk when protective page fault occurs in order to modify protective page fault. The method includes the following steps: (1) detecting the occurrence of protective page fault; (2) executing protective page fault processing mechanism; (3) executing protective page fault service routine; (4) returning to the address where protective page fault occurs; (5) executing TLB table walk to complete modification for protective page fault; and invalidating the TLB entry for protective fault page at step (2).
