Abstract: The disclosure provides a motion vector compression method, comprising: obtaining a temporal motion vector; determining a compressed motion vector using a binary representation of the temporal motion vector comprising an exponent part and/or a mantissa part, wherein the exponent part comprises N bits, the mantissa part comprises M bits, and wherein N is a non-negative integer and M is a positive integer; and performing a temporal motion vector prediction (TMVP) using the compressed motion vector.

Abstract: A method operates within an integrated circuit having a plurality of processing lanes. For each of a first and second processing lanes, the method determines a number of packed data words among one or more packed data words associated with the respective processing lane, associates the number of packed data words with a used field of the processing lane, wherein the used field indicates the number of packed data words in the processing lane; and stores the one or more packed data words in a variable record length memory based, at least in part, on the used field of the processing lane.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and an operating method thereof are provided. An operating method of a semiconductor device, includes monitoring a plurality of request packets and a plurality of response packets that are being transmitted between a master device and a slave device; detecting a target request packet that matches desired identification (ID) information from among the plurality of request packets; counting the number of events of a transaction including the target request packet by using an event counter; counting the number of request packets whose corresponding response packets are yet to be detected, from among the plurality of request packets by using a Multiple Outstanding (MO) counter; determining whether an MO count value of the MO counter is valid; and if the MO count value is invalid, resetting the event counter.

Abstract: A method for of encoding an application screen comprises partitioning graphic data into a plurality of graphic layers and classifying each of the plurality of graphic layers as either a screen content (SC) or a non-screen content (non-SC) layer. The method further comprises classifying each of the plurality of graphic layers as either a screen content (SC) or a non-screen content (non-SC) layer. Further, the method comprises rendering and encoding the one or more SC layers using a first codec and the one or more non-SC layers using a second codec.

Abstract: There is provided a vehicle state determining device. An extracting unit is configured to extract feature points from images acquired by an imaging device mounted on a vehicle. An estimating unit is configured to estimate the movement amount of the vehicle at each time set at intervals of a predetermined time, on the basis of the feature points extracted by the extracting unit. A determining unit is configured to perform determination on movement of the vehicle on the basis of the movement amount estimated by the estimating unit, and the change amount of the movement amount.

Abstract: A microprocessor for a vehicle control device includes: an instruction set; a register section with a status register, a first flag being provided in the status register for storing a logical result of a comparison operation; and an arithmetic logical unit. The status register comprises a second flag for storing the logical result of a second comparison operation. The instruction set comprises a first additional instruction, which performs a comparison among two handed-over operands, a result of the comparison being stored in the second flag. The instruction set comprises a second additional instruction, which selects and performs one of at least three pre-defined operations on a basis of a logic connection of values in the first flag and the second flag, for updating an upper boundary and/or a lower boundary of a search field in a binary search for a next iteration.
