US Patent:

6442270, Aug 27, 2002

Filed:

Nov 24, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/449193

Inventors:

Daniel Simon - San Diego CA
Stephen A. Sprigg - Poway CA
Clarence C. Wong - Encinitas CA

Assignee:

Qualcomm, Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04M 127

US Classification:

37935509, 3793551

Abstract:

A telephone ( ) includes a microphone ( ), earphone ( ), keypad ( ), and display unit ( ). The keypad ( ) is the preferred user interface for entry of a telephone number into the telephone so that the telephone may call it. However, a voice recognition device ( ) may be attached to the microphone with similar effect. The telephone includes a list ( ) of stored telephone numbers, which may be added onto the list in any convenient way. As digits are entered into the phone through the user interface ( ), a comparator ( ) compares the resulting partially entered number with the numbers on the list. When the comparison demonstrates some pre-established association between the numbers, then the stored number is displayed on the display unit ( ). If the user selects ( ) one of the displayed numbers (perhaps with scrolling), the number is called ( ). If not, the next digit is entered.

International Classification:

G06F 1130

US Classification:

713194, 713193, 380 30

Abstract:

A cryptography circuit provides secure processing of data by utilizing countermeasures that combat timing and power attacks. Superfluous operations such as multiplication operations, modular reductions by an integer, storage of data to memory are available for use by a processor to disguise the amount of power usage and the amount of time required to perform a cryptographic operation. A cryptographic key is available for use in order to trigger when these emulated operations occur. The occurrences of the emulated operations is controlled by the user to provide the preferred tradeoff between security and use of resources.

Stephane W. Rodgers - San Diego CA, US
Daniel Z. Simon - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

G01R 31/08
G06F 11/00

US Classification:

370231

Abstract:

A method and system are provided for sharing AV/record resources in a programmable transport/demultiplexer and personal video recorder (PVR) engine. The method may involve utilizing hardware assist architecture to partially process incoming packets, retrieve information about the packets, and write the retrieved information to a memory. A processor programmed with firmware may then utilize the information in memory to perform further processing on the packet data. The processor programmed with firmware may then set up configuration parameters that may be used by the hardware assist architecture to further process the packet. The parameters may be configured such that they may be independent of the format of the packet, where the hardware assist architecture functions may be utilized for processing packets regardless of their format. The system may comprise the hardware assist architecture, the processor programmed with firmware, and a memory.
