  • Method and apparatus for image encoding and image decoding using area segmentation
    Patent number: 12231634
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for image encoding and image decoding using region segmentation. A picture is divided into multiple sub-pictures, and encoding and/or decoding are performed on the multiple sub-pictures resulting from division. Encoding operations and/or decoding operations on the sub-pictures may be independently performed. Merging and filtering are applied to reconstructed sub-pictures generated by decoding, and a reconstructed picture is generated after processing of merging and filtering.

    Abstract: Multipurpose systems can include networked devices configured to include microphones, motion sensors, video cameras, touchscreens, optical sensors, speakers, or other suitable devices. The networked devices can include networking capabilities that enable the networked device to communicate with target devices and other networked devices. A system of networked devices can identify a target location or a target device by analyzing audio signals received at microphones of the networked devices. For example, a plurality of networked devices can identify a particular networked device that is in closest proximity to a user by analyzing an audio intensity of an audio signal received at the plurality of networked devices. The identified networked device can serve as a master device that can control a state of target devices.

  • Erroneous select die access (SDA) detection
    Patent number: 12229062
    Abstract: Described apparatuses and methods relate to erroneous select die access (SDA) detection for a memory system. A memory system may include a memory controller and a memory device that are capable of implementing an SDA protocol that enables selective memory die access to multiple memory devices that couple to a command bus. A memory device can include logic that determines if signaling that conflicts with the SDA protocol is detected. If it is determined that conflicting signaling is detected, the logic may provide an indication of the conflicted signaling. In doing so, the erroneous SDA detection described herein may reduce the likelihood of a memory device erroneously masking memory dice, thereby limiting the memory device from exhibiting unexpected, and in some cases, dangerous behavior.
