Patent number: 10397588Abstract: A method and apparatus of sharing an on-chip buffer or cache memory for a video coding system using coding modes including Inter prediction mode or Intra Block Copy (IntraBC) mode are disclosed. At least partial pre-deblocking reconstructed video data of a current picture is stored in an on-chip buffer or cache memory. If the current block is coded using IntraBC mode, the pre-deblocking reconstructed video data of the current picture stored in the on-chip buffer or cache memory are used to derive IntraBC prediction for the current block. In some embodiments, if the current block is coded using Inter prediction mode, Inter reference video data from the previous picture stored in the on-chip buffer or cache memory are used to derive Inter prediction for the current block. In another embodiment, the motion compensation/motion estimation unit is shared by the two modes.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Tzu-Der Chuang, Ping Chao, Ching-Yeh Chen, Yu-Chen Sun, Chih-Ming Wang, Chia-Yun Cheng, Han-Liang Chou, Yu-Wen Huang

Patent number: 9432819Abstract: A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), including a universal subscriber identity module (USIM), for identifying a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell are disclosed. The WTRU receives a broadcast from a cell including a cell identifier (ID). If the cell ID is associated with a CSG cell, the WTRU determines whether the CSG ID is programmed in the USIM. The cell broadcast may include a single bit information element (IE) indicating that the cell is a CSG cell. If the cell ID is a CSG ID, the cell ID may further include a plurality of fields which indicate at least one of a country, a region, an operator, and a home evolved Node-B (HeNB) number. The cell broadcast may further include a bit indicating whether the CSG cell is public or private. The cell broadcast may further include a bit indicating that emergency calls are allowed from all users.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Rajat P.

Patent number: 8190204Abstract: A digital, wireless PC/PCS modem is disclosed for incorporation with personal home computers, laptop units, hand-held computer units, and cellular phones for providing wireless communication via satellite transmission. The invention is a device that combines a personal computer (PC) modem with a satellite link and relay system for computers. This will allow the user to establish a communications link with Internet™ access, access to direct dial telephones, faxing on demand, hyperterminal access for remote computer link-up, video, and voice applications. Utilizing existing software and hardware, this invention uses digital satellite technology and combines it with a PC modem for access to various communication links including phone links, without a phone line. In order to accomplish this, the laptop has a type II PCMCIA card slot for receiving the PC modem. An antenna is attached to the plug-in cellular phone card for the modem using a swivel joint assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Inventor: Ray Whitney

Patent number: 7406332Abstract: This invention improves the intelligence of chip cards (SIM) in mobile radiotelephone terminals, so that a subscriber may, through the terminal, easily access databases (DB), attached to a server of services (SV). It facilitates the dialog between a subscriber who owns a mobile radiotelephone terminal and a server of services through the medium of an exchange of request and response messages. The card comprises a browser (NV) which interacts with the server and which can be triggered by selection in the mobile terminal or remotely by the server. The card and the server exchange short messages. Libraries of supplementary functions (BI), stored in the card, can be triggered by the server through the browser. The invention also relates to communications between the card that is equipped with the browser and the server.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2000Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: GemplusInventors: Eric Gaillard, Bertrand Charbonnier, Jérôme Voyer

Patent number: 6975883Abstract: A method for putting into operation a processor smart card in a network for communication, preferably in a GSM network, wherein the card user must identify himself with respect to the processor smart card (SIM) by a personal identification number. An application is stored on the smart card to control the execution upon the first use of the processor smart card by the card user. The application is used to transmit an indication of the first use to the card user. The application is arranged to transmit personal identification numbers for subsequent use of the processor smart card in the network to the first user of the card or to let them be defined by the first user of the card.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2000Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventor: Oliver Richter

Patent number: 6757366Abstract: A voice messaging system includes an externally accessible interface for accepting a removable digital memory card for storage of received voice messages. The removable digital memory card may be removed from the voice messaging system to archive previously recorded voice messages. The removed digital memory card may be either re-installed at a later time at the digital voice messaging system for playback, or in another playback device separate from the originally recording voice messaging system for playback. Removal and replacement of digital memory cards on a regular basis provides an unlimited capacity for even the most basic voice messaging devices. A general outgoing greeting message may be recorded in non-removable memory, or it may be customized in separate removable digital memory cards for quick and easy interchange of an outgoing greeting message corresponding to status changes of the user, e.g., one removable digital memory card used while on vacation, another while at work, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1998Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventor: Steven B.
