The method is suitable for an embedded system connected to a network, wherein the embedded system includes a network device driver module and a simplified TCP/IP stack module. First, a plurality of network packets are received by the network device driver module.

Thereafter, the network packets are obtained from the buffer one at a time according to the packet lengths recorded in the packet information table and analyzed by the simplified TCP/IP stack module. Thereby, multiple network packets can be handled correctly even in an environment wherein a simplified TCP/IP stack is used.

Abstract: A method for recording data using a non-volatile memory and an electronic apparatus thereof are provided. In the present method, a set of input data is provided. Then, a data structure of the input data is transformed into a bitmapping data structure. Afterwards, the input data is written sequentially into the non-volatile memory using at least one bit as a basic unit of modification. A total number of bits being modified is then calculated, so as to obtain information needed by the system. Therefore, a minimal memory space is used to record most information, so as to reduce the times for erasing the non-volatile memory and increase the life time of the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: A digital audio-video information reproducing apparatus and a reproducing method thereof are provided, in which a predetermined time point or a keyword from users is used as a basic for controlling the reproduction of a file-based AV file. If the subtitle is in a bitmap format, the bitmap subtitle is transformed to text contents. If the subtitle is in a text format, the subtitle is directly interpreted. Then, the interpreted/transformed text content is compared with the keyword, so as to interpret a matched time point corresponding to the subtitle, and the matched time point is set as a start or end point for reproducing the AV file. Alternatively, the comparison result may be applied in analyzing a correlation between the AV file and the keyword.
