International Classification:

H04L 1242

US Classification:

370253, 370346, 370449, 709251, 714 2

Abstract:

The present invention involves a network polling protocol which treats the network as a logical ring or linear sequence of nodes linked together so that a polling request is simply propagated down or around the network one node at a time until a complete inventory of active nodes is achieved. The protocols also includes procedures for curing or repairing breaks in the linking protocol and for adding new nodes to the linking protocol. The linking protocol can also be used to establish hierarchal linked networks where top level hierarchies includes addresses to a permanent member of a linked network and bottom level hierarchies are a given linked network.

International Classification:

H04N005/228
H04N005/76

US Classification:

3482221, 3482312, 3482319

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for enhancing performance of a high-capacity storage media in a digital imaging device. The method aspect of the present invention includes, storing images on the storage media, where the images include tags for categorizing the images. A category list is generated from the tags in the images and the category list is stored on the storage media. A category within the category list is designated as a default category. The method further includes accessing the image category list in order to display the images, wherein only the images belonging to the default category are displayed, thereby speeding access to, and display of, the images.

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

7155011, 7155001

Abstract:

A method and system for viewing images from an image capture device on a host computer. The method and system include establishing communication between the image capture device and the host computer, and mounting the image capture device as a disk on the host computer. The method and system further include automatically generating an Internet page description file in the image capture device that references the images stored therein, and accessing the Internet page description file through a standard web browser on the host computer. The user may then view the images stored in image capture device on the host computer through the web browser.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

7071041, 707 1, 707 10, 707100, 709203

Abstract:

System, apparatus, method, and article for techniques to associate media data with related information. A mobile computing device includes a media manager module. The media manager module processes a media file including metadata. The media manager module retrieves a first content from a metadata field in the metadata. The media manager module retrieves a second content from a field in an application file associated with an application client. The media manager module compares the first and second contents and determines whether the first and second contents are associated. If the first and second contents are associated, the media manager module retrieves the second content and inserts the second content in a second metadata field of the media file.

International Classification:

H04N 5/76

US Classification:

3482312, 3482311

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for managing categorized images in a digital camera is provided. In one aspect, a method includes, storing images on a storage media in the digital imaging device, where each image includes at least one tag corresponding to a category for categorizing the images. A category list is generated that includes the categories corresponding to the tags in the images and the category list is stored on the storage media. The category list identifies, for each category, which of the stored images have the tag corresponding to the category. A category within the category list is designated as a default category. The method further includes accessing the image category list in order to display the images, wherein only the identified images of the default category are displayed, thereby speeding access to, and display of, the images.
