Definitions

  • the described technology relates generally to processing of data via a computer system and, more specifically, to distributing the computer instructions for processing the data.
  • Home entertainment systems are increasingly being implemented as complex interconnections of special-purpose computer systems, which are generally referred to as "home entertainment devices.” These home entertainment devices may be video and audio receivers, DVD players, CD-ROM players, sound mixers, amplifiers, speaker systems, display devices, and so on. Many different companies develop (e.g., design and manufacture) such home entertainment devices. Each company may develop its devices using proprietary interconnect technology. As a result, the input and output of devices developed by different companies may not be compatible. For example, a DVD player developed by one company may output data that is incompatible with a speaker subsystem developed by another company. Thus, it may be impractical to have a home entertainment system that includes devices that are developed by different companies.
  • a CD player would need a point-to-point connection to each speaker system to which its output is to be directed and a point-to-point connection to any amplification system to which its output is to be sent.
  • each device simply needs to be connected to a common bus in order to communicate with each other device.
  • a DVD player may have a computer program stored in ROM that inputs the digital data from a DVD disk and processes the digital data in a preprogrammed way (e.g., AC-3 decoding) prior to outputting the digital data to a speaker system.
  • a preprogrammed way e.g., AC-3 decoding
  • Such home entertainment devices are hard-coded, they cannot easily take advantage of improvements in techniques for processing such digital data.
  • a DVD player that supports AC-3 decoding may not also support DTS decoding or an improved AC-3 decoding. It may be theoretically possible to upgrade such home entertainment devices by having the owner ship the device to an upgrade facility of the company.
  • a method and system for distributing instructions for processing source data along with the source data to an extensible device is provided.
  • the extensible device receives the source data along with instructions for processing the source data.
  • the extensible device in one embodiment includes a central processing unit, a memory, and output interface.
  • the extensible device stores the instructions in memory as the instructions are received.
  • the extensible device then directs the central processing unit to process the received source data in accordance with the instructions that have been stored in the memory.
  • the extensible device may send data to the output interface.
  • the instructions for processing the source data can be customized to the source data or can include improvements in processing source data.
  • the extensible device may include default instructions that are used for processing source data that is not accompanied by instructions.
  • the extensible device may also store the received instructions so as to supersede the existing default instructions.

  • Figure 2 is a flow diagram of an example implementation of a process source data component.
  • Figure 3 is a flow diagram of an example implementation of the receive data component.

  • Figure 5 is a flow diagram of an example implementation of a receive source data routine.
  • Figure 6 is a block diagram of an example of data source component.
  • Figure 7 is a flow diagram of an example implementation of the combine data component.
  • a method and system for distributing computer instructions for processing source data is provided.
  • the distribution system in one embodiment distributes the computer instructions for processing the source data along with the source data.
  • a device such as a home entertainment device, may receive and store the computer instructions in its computer memory. The device can then execute the stored computer instructions to process the source data.
  • computer instructions for implementing these new techniques can be distributed to devices that process the source data.
  • These new techniques may be related to enhanced signal processing, improved encryption, improved compression, or any other improved processing of the source data.
  • These techniques may also include user interfaces and game or educational programming associated with the source data that may be implemented, for example, as Java Applets.
  • the new techniques may relate to the parsing of the source data that is stored in a new or unusual format (e.g., number of bits in an audio sample, sample rate, and number of channels) and to copy protection algorithms, such as "5C” or "XCA,” for the source data.
  • the 5C and XCA algorithms are competing to become the industry standard, and the distribution system would allow devices to be developed today that could handle whatever algorithm becomes the standard.
  • the processing of the source data may include enhanced DOLBY Digital decoding, enhanced Digital Theatre Sound (“DTS”) decoding, Meridian Lossless Packing (“MLP”) decoding, MP3 decoding, QUICKTIME decoding, REALPLAYER decoding, DV digital video decoding, MPEG II layer 2 decoding, and virtual surround sound decoding.

  • MPEG II layer 2 decoding and virtual surround sound decoding.
  • the extensible devices include a central processing unit, a bus connection interface, a memory, a device-specific input/output interface, and default or standard computer instructions.
  • the device-specific input output interface may be a digital-to- analog converter that is connected to a speaker and the default computer instructions may input source data in a predefined format and perform some standard processing on the data before sending the data to the device-specific input/output interface.
  • the extensible device may include an extension component that detects that specialized (or customized) computer instructions are being provided along with the source data. When the extension component detects that such computer instructions are provided, it controls the storing of the specialized computer instructions into memory of the extensible device.

  • the extensible device may store such specialized computer instructions in a non-volatile memory such as an EPROM or a flash-EPROM. Alternatively, the specialized computer instructions may be sent to a extensible device independently of the source data.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de distribuer à un dispositif extensible des instructions pour le traitement de données de base ainsi que les données de base elles-mêmes. Ce dispositif extensible reçoit les données de base ainsi que les instructions pour le traitement de données de base. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce dispositif extensible comporte une unité centrale, une mémoire et une interface de sortie. Ce dispositif stocke les instructions dans la mémoire à mesure qu'elles arrivent. Il commande ensuite à l'unité centrale de traiter les données de base reçues, en fonction des instructions qui ont été stockées dans la mémoire. Une partie de ce traitement consiste, pour le dispositif extensible, à envoyer des données à l'interface de sortie. Ainsi, les instructions de traitement des données de base peuvent être adaptées aux données de base ou peuvent comporter des améliorations dans le traitement des données de base.
