In a device having a display, at least one sensor signal is generated from a sensor in the device. One or more context values are then generated from the sensor signal. The context values indicate how the device is situated relative to one or more objects. At least one of the context values is then used to control the operation of one or more aspects of the device.

The disclosed teachings provide methods and systems for efficient evaluation of XPath queries. In particular, the disclosed evaluation methods require only polynomial time with respect to the total size of an input XPath query and an input XML document. Crucial for the new methods is the notion of “context-value tables”. This idea can be further refined for queries in Core XPath and XSLT Patterns so as to yield even a linear time evaluation method. Moreover, the disclosed methods can be used for improving existing methods and systems for processing XPath expressions so to guarantee polynomial worst-case complexity.

The invention proposes a method and a unit for controlling the flow of at least one TCP connection between a sender and a receiver. The method is of the type which consists in controlling, at the level of a given multiplexing node through which TCP segments relevant to the connection pass, a window size parameter contained in acknowledgement segments sent back by the receiver. The method comprises the steps of:

• • a) receiving an acknowledgement from the receiver on the up link (receiver to sender) of the connection at the level of said given multiplexing node;
  • b) controlling a window size parameter contained in, said acknowledgement segment on the basis of the difference between, firstly, a first context value associated with the TCP connection, defined as being the sequence number of the last segment that was transmitted from said given multiplexing node on the down link (sender to receiver) of the connection, to which the length of said segment is added, and, secondly, the sequence number indicated in said acknowledgement segment;
  • c) transmitting the acknowledgement segment to the sender the up link of the connection from said multiplexing node with the window size parameter thus controlled.

Systems and methods for processing encoded messages within a wireless communications system are disclosed. A server within the wireless communications system determines whether the size of an encoded message is too large for a wireless communications device. If the message is too large, the server removes part of the message and sends an abbreviated message to the wireless device, together with additional information relating to processing of the encoded message, such as, for example, hash context values, that assist the wireless communications device in verifying the abbreviated message.

A method for generating compressed correlation key values for use in correlating alarms generated by network elements in a telecommunications network is disclosed. An alarm message generated by a network element is received. A context value in the alarm message is identified. A table that associates context values to correlation key value formulas is maintained. A formula specifying how to generate the correlation key value is retrieved from the table. Each formula may specify, for an associated context value, one or more ordinal positions of fields in the alarm message, a concatenation of which yields the correlation key value. The correlation key value is created based on the formula. A unique ordinal number is generated to represent the correlation key value, which acts as a context key. The alarm message and correlation key value are sent to an external system for use in correlating alarms.

A method for prioritizing potential threats identified by vehicle active safety systems. The method includes providing context information including map information, vehicle position information, traffic assessment information, road condition information, weather condition information, and vehicle state information. The method calculates a system context value for each active safety system using the context information. Each active safety system provides a system threat level value, a system braking value, a system steering value, and a system throttle value. The method calculates an overall threat level value using all of the system context values and all of the system threat level values. The method then provides a braking request value to vehicle brakes based on all of the system braking values, a throttle request value to a vehicle throttle based on all of the system throttle values, and a steering request value to vehicle steering based on all of the system steering values.

Dynamic translation of indirect branch instructions of a target application by a host processor is enhanced by including a cache to provide access to the addresses of the most frequently used translations of a host computer, minimizing the need to access the translation buffer. Entries in the cache have a host instruction address and tags that may include a logical address of the instruction of the target application, the physical address of that instruction, the code segment limit to the instruction, and the context value of the host processor associated with that instruction. The cache may be a software cache apportioned by software from the main processor memory or a hardware cache separate from main memory.

A low power sound recognition sensor is configured to receive an analog signal that may contain a signature sound. Sparse sound parameter information is extracted from the analog signal. The extracted sound parameter information is sampled in a periodic manner and a context value is updated to indicate a current environmental condition.

The invention discloses a parallel non-zero coefficient context modeling method for binary arithmetic coding, and relates to a context modeling technology for video coding. The method is proposed to solve the problem that the data throughput rate of a coding system is reduced because the conventional binary arithmetic coding generates a data dependency relationship on the context in the context modeling process of non-zero coefficients. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, defining the number of coefficients and non-zero coefficients in a transform quantification block; 2, performing binarization on the non-zero coefficients to obtain a bin sequence; 3, performing context modeling on a first context according to the position information of the non-zero coefficients and the number of the non-zero coefficients in the transform quantification block; 4, calculating the probability distribution of the non-zero coefficients, the absolute value of which is abs (Li) in the first context value; 5, subtracting 1 from the absolute value of Li, and performing binarization; and 6, performing context modeling by using the equal probability distribution. By using the method, the context modeling processes of different non-zero coefficients can be simultaneously performed, and parallel execution of multiple context modeling processes in the coding process is realized.

An audio decoder includes an arithmetic decoder for providing a plurality of decoded spectral values on the basis of an arithmetically encoded representation of the spectral values, and a frequency-domain-to-time-domain converter for providing a time-domain audio representation using the decoded spectral values. The arithmetic decoder selects a mapping rule describing a mapping of a code value onto a symbol code in dependence on a context state described by a numeric current context value. The arithmetic decoder determines the numeric current context value in dependence on a plurality of previously decoded spectral values. The arithmetic decoder evaluates a hash table, entries of which define both significant state values and boundaries of intervals of numeric context values, in order to select the mapping rule. A mapping rule index value is individually associated to a numeric context value being a significant state value.
