Method Of Distributed Recording Whereby The Need To Transition To A Second Recording Device From A First Recording Device Is Broadcast By The First Recording Device

View page
US Patent:
6859846, Feb 22, 2005
Filed:
Aug 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/210928
Inventors:
Thomas Ulrich Swidler - San Jose CA, US
Bruce Alan Fairman - Woodside CA, US
Glen David Stone - Los Gatos CA, US
Scott David Smyers - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Sony Corporation - Tokyo
Sony Electronics Inc. - Park Ridge NJ
International Classification:
G06F011/00
US Classification:
710 8, 710 5, 710100, 711114, 711132, 711170, 713100
Abstract:
An automatically configuring storage array includes a plurality of media storage devices coupled together within a network of devices. Preferably, the network of devices is an IEEE 1394-2000 serial bus network of devices. The media storage devices are utilized to record and retrieve streams of data transmitted within the network of devices. The media storage devices communicate with each other in order to store and retrieve streams of data over multiple media storage devices, if necessary. When a record or playback command is received by any one of the media storage devices, the media storage devices send control communications between themselves to ensure that the stream of data is recorded or transmitted, as appropriate. Control of the record or transmit operation is also transferred between the media storage devices in order to utilize the full capacity of the available media storage devices. Preferably, streams of data are recorded utilizing redundancy techniques.

Method Of Routing An Audio/Video Signal From A Television's Internal Tuner To A Remote Device

View page
US Patent:
20070035668, Feb 15, 2007
Filed:
Aug 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/202782
Inventors:
Thomas Swidler - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 7/00
H04N 5/60
US Classification:
348738000, 348552000
Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for directly routing the output an internal television tuner allowing for the use of a decoded audio-video data signal by a remote device. The method of and apparatus for routing the output signal of a television's internal tuner allowing for direct use of a decoded audio-video data signal comprises receiving a digital broadcast signal at a television, decoding the broadcast signal with one or more digital tuners within the television to generate a decoded audio-video data signal, and routing the decoded audio-video data signal from the tuner to an output port of the television, wherein the output port is configured to communicably couple to a remote device, such as a recording device or a remote display screen. The audio-video data signal comprises an audio-video signal and control data. Preferably, the decoded audio-video data is in a digital format. Alternatively, the decoded audio-video data is in an analog format. The television sends the audio-video data signal to a remote device. The remote device receives the decoded audio-video data signal directly from the tuner as a decoded input signal. The decoded audio-video data signal received by the remote device is immediately usable and does not require further processing before recording or displaying on the remote device.

Method And System For Locating Digital Contents In A Recorded Digital File Without Knowing Its Encoding Format

View page
US Patent:
6393578, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Dec 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/457937
Inventors:
Thomas Ulrich Swidler - San Jose CA
Bruce Alan Fairman - Woodside CA
Assignee:
Sony Corporation - Tokyo
Sony Electronics, Inc. - Park Ridge NJ
International Classification:
G06F 114
US Classification:
713600, 713502, 707 1
Abstract:
A method and system locating contents of a recorded digital audio/video file without knowing its encoding format. The method and system can be implemented on a disk drive, e. g. , magnetic or optical, or on any suitable storage mechanism. A bus timer is used for periodically generating a cycle count in synchronization with isochronous packets that are also on the bus. The disk drive stores both the current cycle count and the current digital packet together on a storage media, e. g. , magnetic or optical or memory array, etc. When the cycle count value reaches a predetermined number of increments, a seconds measure is incremented thereby updating a minute and hour measure (as necessary). The updated hour/minute/second value is stored in an entry of an index table along with the logical block address (LBA) of the currently stored data packet. This continues until the file is completely recorded. Retrieval of a particular hour/minute/second of the file can then be readily accomplished by referencing the index table and obtaining the appropriate LBA without requiring knowledge of the particular encoding format used by the file.
