According to the present invention, a serial control signal interface and a serial data interface are provided in addition to a USB interface having a USB device controller, and a switching circuit for selectively connecting these interface to a system connector is provided on a mobile communication terminal device. Then, when an external device is connected to the system connector, it is determined whether or not the external device has an external interface having a USB host function on the basis of the interface identification voltage supplied from the external device, so that the switching circuit is changed over on the basis of the determination result to select an appropriate interface.

An apparatus for reordering packet transactions within a peripheral interface circuit. The apparatus includes a source tagging unit and a control unit. The source tagging unit may be configured to generate a plurality of tag values each corresponding to one of a plurality of packet commands. The control unit may include a first storage unit including a first plurality of locations and a second storage unit including a second plurality of locations. Each of the locations corresponds to one of the plurality of tag values. Each of the first plurality of locations may provide an indication of whether a given tag value corresponds to a first packet command in a given data stream. A first given location of the second plurality of locations corresponds to the tag value indicated by the first storage unit and stores a tag value of a second packet command in the given data stream.

An apparatus and technique off-loads responsibility for maintaining order among requests directed to a same address on a split transaction bus from a processor to a split transaction bus controller, thereby increasing the performance of the processor. The present invention comprises an ordering circuit that enables the controller to defer issuing a subsequent (write) request directed to an address on the bus until a previous (read) request directed to the same address completes. By off-loading responsibility for maintaining order among requests from the processor to the controller, the invention enhances performance of the processor since the processor may proceed with program execution without having to stall to ensure such ordering. The ordering circuit maintains ordering in an efficient manner that is transparent to the processor.

A service provider network (16) and method therein operates to dynamically reduce the bandwidth required for data. The service provider network (16) includes a memory (20) for storing subscriber information of a subscriber device (12), a data engine (22) for receiving a generic data request from the subscriber device (12), formatting the request into a compatible format, transmitting the request, and receiving data in response to the request, and an intelligent proxy server (18) for receiving the data from the data engine (22), manipulating or filtering the data as a function of the subscriber information to thin the content of the data, and outputting the filtered data to the subscriber device (12).

Caching memory contents differently based on the region to which the memory has been partitioned or allocated is disclosed. A first region of a first line of memory to be cached is determined. The memory has a number of regions, including the first region, over which the lines of memory, including the first line, are partitioned. Each region has a first variable having a corresponding second variable. If the first variable for any region is greater than its corresponding second variable, one such region is selected as a second region. A line from the lines of the memory currently stored in the cache and partitioned to the second region is selected as the second line. The second line is replaced with the first line in the cache, the first variable for the second region is decremented, and the first variable for the first region is incremented.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for receiving a data frame on a received port of a network switch. The data frame includes a source media access control (MAC) address for the first device, and a destination MAC address for a second device connected to another port of the network. The data frame is forwarded to a target port which is connected to the second device. The MAC address is learned locally at the target port which facilities communications for frames which later enter the target port and contain addresses previously learned from a received frame.
摘要:
A unique system and method for ordering commands to reduce disc access latency while giving preference to pending commands. The method and system involves giving preference to pending commands in a set of priority queues. The method and system involve identifying a pending command and processing other non-pending commands in route to the pending command if performance will not be penalized in doing so. The method and system include a list of command node references referring to a list of sorted command nodes that are to be scheduled for processing.

A method and apparatus is disclosed for implementing an integrated video card and smart card reader. A single processor is used to perform both video and smart card reader functions. The processor simulates a PCI-to-PCMCIA detection logic scheme. An operating system, such as Windows, detects both a video card and a PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge. A smart card reader is attached to the integrated video card and smart card reader.
摘要:
A method of fulfilling a request for information content with a user-selectable version of a file containing that information content. Selection of a hyperlink to information content results in generation of a menu of versions of files containing that information content. The menu displays options for versions which are derivable therefrom by a computer program for converting files from one version to another version. Selection of an option for a materialized version results in transmission of the materialized version. Selection of an option for a version which is not materialized results in derivation of the user-selected version from either a materialized version or any other version from which the user-selected version may be derived. Apparatuses for carrying out the inventive method are also provided.
摘要:
When the CPU determines in S308 that a user of the facsimile machine is indicated, then local user specific data indicating the local user indicated in S308 is stored in ROM in S310. In S314, image is retrieved from a document. In S318, an e-mail message with the local user specific data registered as the transmission source is prepared. In S320, the CPU dials up the SMTP server and in S324, the CPU transmits the e-mail message. Accordingly, the remote user can return e-mail message to the user registered on the received e-mail message. The local user can receive the return e-mail message on his or her personal computer.
