Filed:

Dec 17, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/768750

Inventors:

Patricia Gray - Mesa AZ
Jackie Harrison - Chandler AZ
Mike Keith - Portland OR

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 700
G06F 1500

US Classification:

36471502

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for compressing bit formats provided in a first packed data sequence. One embodiment of the method comprises the steps of generating, in response to executing a first instruction, a second packed data sequence by copying the first packed data sequence. A second step of masking, in response to executing a second instruction, a portion of the first packed data sequence. A third step of shifting data elements of the first packed data sequence, in response to executing a third instruction, wherein the data elements are independently shifted by separate shift counts. A fourth step of masking, in response to executing a fourth instruction, a portion of the second packed data sequence. A fifth step of generating, in response to executing a fifth instruction, a final result by joining the second and first packed data sequences.

Abstract:

A computer system to compress bit formats provided in a first packed data sequence. The computer system include a processor, a multimedia input device to receive an image or audio input, a memory having stored thereon a set of packed data sequences having data elements representing the input, and a compression routine for manipulating the input. When the compression routine is executed by the processor, the routine causes the processor to: generate a second packed data sequence by copying the first packed data sequence; mask a portion of the first packed data sequence; shift data elements of the first packed data sequence, in response to executing a single first instruction, wherein the data elements are independently shifted by separate shift counts; mask a portion of the second packed data sequence; and generate a final result by joining the second and first packed data sequences.

International Classification:

H04N 724

US Classification:

3488452

Abstract:

A method for reducing digital video frame frequency while maintaining temporal smoothness during processing of video frames for display is disclosed. The method predicts the number of video frames to be dropped prior to decoding of a video frame in response to a delay in the processing of video frames, adjusts the timestamp for each video frame surrounding the video frames to be dropped in response to the predicting and displays the video frames surrounding the video frames to be dropped according to the adjusted timestamp.
