A method for scrolling through a representation of data that is too large to be presented legibly in its entirety within confines of a display is disclosed. The method includes presenting a section of the representation on the display. A portion of the representation is selected, using the section presented on the display, for scrolling on. The presentation of the section presented on the display is modified to include additional representation based on the portion selected. The additional content is to be presented in a non-linear fashion. Input from a user interface associated with movement through the additional content is received. The movement is to provide non-linear scrolling through the additional content. Apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed.

Non-linear navigation of data representation

A system and method for reducing distance-based distortion in a camera image of an object, where the distanced-based distortion is due to differences in distance from the camera to different parts of the object. In one approach, the distortion is reduced by estimating distances to different parts of the object and then generating a reprojected image of the object dependent upon the estimated distances and upon a virtual viewpoint that is more distant than the camera from the object. In a further approach, the image is warped such that points in the image match corresponding points in one or more stored templates. In a still further approach, if excessive distortion is present in the image, the camera zoom is increased and a magnified image is displayed, prompting a person to move farther from the camera thereby reducing the distortion.

Perspective improvement for image and video applications

A videotelephony system has an electronically controllable camera with a field of view, a visual token disposed within the field of view, and a camera controller. The camera controller is configured to detect the visual token and reconfigure the field of view relative to a detected position of the visual token.

Bus transactions in a memory controller are scheduled by storing a set of configuration parameters that define a bus scheduling policy, generating values of a set of dynamic cost functions for each bus transaction, ordering the bus transactions in accordance with the bus scheduling policy to produce ordered bus transactions and generating a memory transaction that is derived from the ordered bus transactions. The memory controller includes one or more control registers for storing the set of configuration parameters, a bus interface operable to capture bus transactions from applications, a set of buffers operable to store the bus transactions and the set of dynamic cost functions and one or more registers operable to store the statistical data and a cost policy. The memory controller selects the order of the bus transactions based on an arbitration and selection policy and generates memory transactions to an external memory.

Dynamic access scheduling memory controller

A system ( ) which encodes and decodes video signals in accordance with a compression standard, such as H.263, efficiently stores and retrieves motion vectors associated with the signals. An encoder ( ) and a decoder ( ) each use a motion vector storage and retrieval circuit ( ) which addresses a respective SRAM array ( ). Advanced Prediction Mode for a video signal is implemented by storing only a minimum number of motion vectors by eliminating storage of motion vectors which are not needed for a real-time current calculation. Storage of selected top motion vectors associated with predetermined macroblocks of video information is avoided to gain a memory savings.
