In general, this disclosure describes techniques of determining a backset for client devices attempting to download data of a live transmission. A backset is an amount of temporal delay that the client devices are delayed by when viewing the live transmission. As described herein, a media content provider may determine a recommended backset for each client devices based characteristics of the client device. Each client device may then be backset by the determined value, or may calculate its own backset based on the recommended backset. Establishing a backset for each client device may avoid rebuffering of live transmission data.

A cache device and a method for controlling cached data that enable efficient use of a storage area and improve the hit ratio are provided. When cache replacement is carried out in cache devices connected to each other through networks, data control is carried out so that data blocks set to a deletion pending status in each cache device, which includes lists regarding the data blocks set to a deletion pending status, in a cache group are different from those in other cache devices in the cache group. In this way, data control using deletion pending lists is carried out. According to the system of the present invention, a storage area can be used efficiently as compared with a case where each cache device independently controls cache replacement, and data blocks stored in a number of cache devices are collected to be sent to terminals in response to data acquisition requests from the terminals, thereby facilitating network traffic and improving the hit rate of the cache devices.

In a database, a frequently retrieved column is encrypted using a common key, and other columns are encrypted using a specific row key. Thus, a retrieving process can be performed at a high speed, and the security can be improved. Then, the row and column of the database are encrypted by assuming the plaintext to be encrypted as a bit string, and performing a binary operation with a random bit string. A random bit string is obtained by sequentially generating multidimensional vectors using a nonlinear function by defining a predetermined bit length as 1 word and a plurality of words as components of the multidimensional vector.

A system and method for enhancing the security of signal exchanges in a network system.

A key manager function initiates the replacement encryption key process based on the information. The replacement encryption key set may be randomly or pseudo-randomly generated. Functions attached to the network system required to employ encryption key sets may have encryption key sets unique to them or shared with one or more other attached functions. The system and method may be employed in a wireless, wired, or mixed transmission medium environment.

Digital data records are stored on a direct access storage device (DASD) in emulation of sequential-access media, the efficiency of storage and access of the data being improved by using a volume trailer containing various statistics about the records. Data is preferably stored in records, logically assembled into record groups. Interspersed with the records, there may be one or more marker codes, which function like tape marks among the various data records. The volume trailer contains pointers to each record group, record counts for each group, marker code counts for each group, and may also include fields showing whether records in a given record group are of equal length. The volume trailer may also include a volume trailer "tail", including a byte count for the entire volume trailer, and a unique sequence identifying the volume trailer. Statistics contained in the volume trailer enable substantially more efficient access of the data by a DASD. For example, record groupings, group counts, and / or marker code counts may be employed to perform operations such as locate, forward space file, and backward space file.

The present invention provides a system and method for restoring a single data stream file from a snapshot without the need to copy every individual block or inode from the snapshot.

A portable remote control device enables user interaction with an appliance by detecting user gestures made in a hover zone, and converting the gestures to commands that are wirelessly transmitted to the appliance. The remote control device includes at least two cameras whose intersecting FOVs define a three-dimensional hover zone within which user interactions are imaged. Separately and collectively image data is analyzed to identify a relatively few user landmarks. Substantially unambiguous correspondence is established between the same landmark on each acquired image, and a three-dimensional reconstruction is made in a common coordinate system. Preferably cameras are modeled to have characteristics of pinhole cameras, enabling rectified epipolar geometric analysis to facilitate more rapid disambiguation among potential landmark points. As a result processing overhead and latency times are substantially reduced. Landmark identification and position information is convertible into commands that alter the appliance behavior as intended by the user's gesture.

A system for locating a wireless device involves the use of the measured signal strength of various base stations in the building or outdoor area under analysis. A topological map of the building or outdoor area under analysis is created. The map is divided into cells, and signal intensities are collected in each cell. For each cell, the signal from a particular base station is fit to a statistical distribution, such as a Gaussian distribution, and the parameters of the statistical distribution are estimated. After a device obtains a set of signal strength measurements, a probabilistic technique is employed to estimate the probability of the existence of the measurements in each of the cells of the building or area under analysis. The estimated location is the cell with the highest probability. A mobile user is tracked with the use of a Markov chain and the system can be calibrated to account for equipment and environmental variations.
