International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

380285, 713171, 380277

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for consumption of content () is described in which a licensor is able to exercise control over consumption based on a personal identity in the form of a set of binding attributes (). The control may be exercised for a number of consuming terminals () including rendering machines such as portable video and audio players.

Appl. No.:

7/480189

Inventors:

Barry L. Minor - Austin TX
Jeffrey A. Wilkinson - Austin TX

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1572

US Classification:

364521

Abstract:

A method and means are provided for utilizing, in a color imaging environment, such as ray tracing, display adapter hardware which is capable of interpolating color values for pixels lying in an area between previously color imaged pixels. A computer system CPU performs ray tracing calculations, or the like for a predetermined number of the total pixels, rather then each pixel, as is the case with conventional ray trace image systems. The system CPU then turns over the color imaged pixels to a display adapter, capable of color interpolating therebetween. Additionally, a prioritization scheme is provided which allows a graphics system user to assign priority values to particular areas or objects included in a scene description. In this way, the areas having higher priority values are subject to a greater concentration of ray tracing operations, thereby allowing these object to be displayed at a much faster rate. An even faster display of these prioritized areas can be achieved by combining the invocation of display adapter hardware to achieve color interpolation to the prioritization scheme.

International Classification:

G06T 100

US Classification:

395173

Abstract:

Methods, systems and programs for partitioning an RGB gamma ramp frame buffer of a workstation into groupings of bit planes to isolate for independent generation the images of multiple objects displayed on a common video screen. According to a preferred practice, groups of bit planes are masked while others are written with scaled and off-set data suitable to represent shaded three-dimensional images. A matching partition of the color palettes in the digital to analog converters ensures consistency in the translation from digital frame buffer data to analog red-green-blue (RGB) color signals. The images as stored in the frame buffer can be arranged in any order of overlay priority. Retention of static image data in a partition reduces the graphics processor load by eliminating the need for regenerating the static component of a complex animation, thereby faciliting real-time motion or user interaction. Losses in color bandwidth resolution are substantially offset through the use of dithering techniques.

Inventors:

Jeffrey Allen Wilkinson - Cedar Park TX

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

345330

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for selecting portions of a displayed image for remote display including displaying a first image, selecting a subset of the displayed first image, and communicating the selected portion of the first image for display on a remote display.

International Classification:

US Classification:

395131

Abstract:

A method and means are provided for utilizing, in a color imaging environment, such as ray tracing, display adapter hardware which is capable of interpolating color values for pixels lying in an area between previously color imaged pixels. A computer system CPU performs ray tracing calculations, or the like for a predetermined number of the total pixels, rather then each pixel, as is the case with conventional ray trace image systems. The system CPU then turns over the color imaged pixels to a display adapter, capable of color interpolating therebetween. In this way, previously idle display adapter hardware can be utilized to determine pixel color values and allow the system CPU to continue color imaging other more critical areas of a scene to be displayed. Therefore, an image can be rendered at a much faster rate than possible with conventional systems, with relatively no visible loss in quality.

Filed:

Nov 7, 2013

Appl. No.:

14/074444

Inventors:

Steven Arthur O'Hara - San Jose CA, US
Jeffrey Allen Wilkinson - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717143

Abstract:

A grammar of a first programming language is represented in member fields and data types of object-oriented classes of a second programming language as an empty program semantic tree. A parser builds a new program semantic tree that represents source code written in the first programming language. The new program semantic tree is built by a reflection technique in which the member fields and data types of the object-oriented classes of the second programming language as set out in the empty program semantic tree are modified during the building of the new program semantic tree.
