The desired number of data components and the content of the data components that make up the compressed video data, which determine the available video resolutions, are variable based upon the processing carried out and the resources available to decode and process the data components. During decoding, efficiency is substantially improved because only the data components necessary to generate a desired resolution are decoded. In variations, both temporal and spatial decoding are utilized to reduce frame rates, and hence, further reduce processor load.

A method and apparatus to spatially synchronize individual frames of a digital video recording with the spatial location of a recording camera at the time that the relevant digital video frame was recorded. The digital video is played back at a speed in relation to the rate that a playback device is traveling. The frame rate is based on movement of the recording device—frames per distance (fpd) moved. The spatially recorded digital video includes periodic position frames, with absolute or virtual position. Alternatively, position frames may be captured after a given change of distance.

In automotive networking applications, data about vehicle's environment can be used in conjunction with a control policy to manage the performance and power usage of a networked device. The control policy can dynamically adjust the balance between link power and performance of the device's communications interface by taking into account the vehicles current situation and user preferences, e.g. location, destination, speed, sensor status, or the like. Controlling the balance between link power and performance of networked devices can be important in maximizing power savings without unacceptably decreasing network performance.

The video previews may be created using an encoding technique or palette-based optimization technique for the particular user device, application, or network that will display the video preview generated from a portion of the full video. The video previews are configured to play a series of images associated with images from the portion of the full video when the video preview is activated. 1. A method of creating a video preview , the method comprising:receiving, at the provider server, a request to generate a video preview of a full video, the request specifying a portion of the full video;receiving at least the portion of the full video at the provider server;receiving an identifier specifying a device or an application for displaying the video preview;determining an encoding technique based on the identifier to generate the video preview, wherein the video preview being of the portion of the full video;creating, by the provider server, the video preview from the full video based on the determined encoding technique; andproviding, by the provider server, the video preview to a user device.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the encoding technique is dependent on the identification of a type of user device that submitted the request to generate the video preview.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the encoding technique is dependent on the type of application that will display the video preview at the user device.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the encoding technique includes a graphics interchange format (GIF) claim 1 , MP4 container claim 1 , a H.264 video codec claim 1 , an advanced audio coding (AAC) audio codec claim 1 , WebM container claim 1 , VP8 video codec claim 1 , or an Ogg Vorbis audio codec.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the video preview is a first video preview generated using a first encoding technique claim 1 , and the method further comprising: ...

An authentication mechanism for dynamic self-provisioning of a magnetic tape cartridge library by a plurality of users for community accessed data storage. Authenticating a host computer and/or users of the host computer for accessing and processing data on a magnetic tape cartridge. 1. A computer-implemented method comprising:authenticating access to a tape cartridge library;receiving a request for a cartridge in the tape cartridge library;determining the cartridge is an empty cartridge;recording user information on a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag in the empty cartridge to create a user-owned cartridge;loading the user-owned cartridge in a drive associated with the tape cartridge library; andgranting access for processing data on the user-owned cartridge.2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:displaying, on a user-interface, available drives in the tape cartridge library;receiving a drive selection through the user-interface; anddetermining a set of user-owned cartridges and empty cartridges in the tape cartridge library.3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user information includes a password claim 1 , a username claim 1 , and a security preference.4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein the security preference includes encryption software to be used for data encryption on the user-owned cartridge.5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the request for the cartridge is received from a geographically remote device.6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:the tape cartridge library is accessible to a plurality of users; andauthenticated access is available individually to a plurality of users according to respectively corresponding credentials.7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein only a portion of tape cartridges in the tape cartridge library is accessible by authenticated access based on credentials corresponding to a user of the ...
