摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, can dynamically monitor the performance of media content rendering and adjust the rate as needed. This can involve obtaining media data, where a first type of dynamic data has a lower priority than a second type; identifying a target frame rate; monitoring a first amount of time used to process the first type of data and a second amount of time used to process the second type of data, including combining multiple first time measurements into the first amount of time and combining multiple second time measurements into the second amount of time; comparing a combination of the first amount of time and the second amount of time to the target frame rate; and modifying an allocation for processing the first type of dynamic data, if the combination fails to satisfy the target frame rate.

摘要： A method and electronic system for exchanging data between a handheld device and another computer system are described. A data file is transferred to the handheld device using the install application of a synchronization manager. The transferred file is stored as a digital stream file with its native data encoding. After synchronization, a message is sent to notify the exchange manager about the data file. The exchange manager then uses an application registry to identify the application program that corresponds to the file stream based on the extension of the stream file. The pertinent application program is then invoked and the stream file is dispatched to the application for processing. During processing, the pertinent application then formats the stream file such that the data file becomes a record within the database file that is associated with the pertinent application.

摘要： A method and system for implementing URL scheme proxies. Embodiments of the invention allow URL schemes that are not natively supported by a computer to be supported via proxy, e.g., using a URL scheme that is native to the computer to forward the non-native transport. More specifically, embodiments of the invention allow a first computer system to support a first URL scheme by encapsulating its transport information into another URL scheme that is natively supported by the first computer. The encapsulated information is then forwarded to a second computer system or server which can provide support for the first URL scheme transport. For instance, if the first computer supports http but does not support ftp, then an ftp transport can be encapsulated inside an http transport and then forwarded to an ftp server which can then extract and process the ftp transport. The ftp response can be handled in an analogous fashion. The invention increases the native URL scheme capabilities of a computer system by proxy. In one embodiment, a system registry is used in order to determine which helper code to use for a particular URL scheme. The selection of helper code and whether native or proxy support is selected are tasks that are transparent to the application. The invention can allow a device with no Internet access to act, transparently, as if it has Internet access.

摘要翻译： 一种实现URL方案代理的方法和系统。 本发明的实施例允许计算机本身不支持的URL方案通过代理来支持，例如使用本地对计算机本身的URL方案来转发非本机传输。 更具体地，本发明的实施例允许第一计算机系统通过将其传输信息封装到由第一计算机本机支持的另一URL方案中来支持第一URL方案。 然后将封装的信息转发到可以为第一URL方案传输提供支持的第二计算机系统或服务器。 例如，如果第一台计算机支持http但不支持ftp，则可以将一个ftp传输封装在http传输中，然后转发到ftp服务器，然后可以提取并处理ftp传输。 ftp响应可以以类似的方式处理。 本发明通过代理增加计算机系统的本地URL方案能力。 在一个实施例中，使用系统注册表来确定用于特定URL方案的帮助程序代码。 帮助代码的选择以及本机或代理支持的选择是对应用程序透明的任务。 本发明可以允许没有互联网访问的设备以透明的方式起作用，如同它具有因特网接入一样。

摘要： A computer system that attempts to establish an alternative network link upon failing to establish a requested network link is described. The computer system may encounter conditions where access to numerous networks, in particular wireless networks, is not available. Rather than only providing an error message to the user upon a failed attempt to establish the requested network link, the computer system determines whether the user has designated an alternative network link in case the requested network link cannot be established, whereas the alternative network link is selected from the plurality of network links that the computer system is configured to support. If an alternative network link has been designated, the computer system attempts to establish the alternative network link. Hence, the user experience is made smooth and uneventful when the requested network link cannot be established.

摘要： Techniques and mechanisms are provided for maintaining session state information in a client server system. Session state information such as session state, time stamp information, activity state, counters, etc. are generated and updated by a server. The session state information is sent in encrypted form to a client and the client maintains the encrypted information. The client is not able to decipher or alter the encrypted information. The client sends the encrypted session state information in requests to the server. The server is able to respond intelligently using session state information from the client. Session state information no longer has to be maintained or replicated by session state managers associated with servers.

摘要： A neural model for simulating a scorecard comprises a neural network for transforming one or more inputs into an output. Each input of the neural model has a squashing function applied thereto for simulating a bin of the simulated scorecard. The squashing function includes a control variable for controlling the steepness of the response to the squashing function's input so that during training of the neural model the steepness can be controlled. The output of the neural model represents the score of the simulated scorecard. The neural network is trained to behave like a scorecard by providing plurality of example values to the inputs of the neural network. Each output score produced is compared to an expected score to produce an error value. Each error value is back-propagated to adjust the neural network transformation to reduce the error value. The steepness of each squashing function is controlled using the respective control variable to affect the response of each squashing function.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided for allowing improved selection of program guide information. Program guide information includes channel, time, and program listing information. In particular examples, each program listing is associated with a time slot having beginning time slot boundary and an end time slot boundary. Program listing information can be viewed even after a current time passes an end time slot boundary. In some examples, program listing information may be removed after a predetermined period of time or after a predetermined period of disuse.
