    Abstract: Provided are a method and a mechanism for dynamically controlling the performance of communication-related operations of a mobile device in accordance with legislative requirements of the particular location of the mobile device and the location of the computing device with which it is to communicate, and also in accordance with communication requirements of application programs at either end of the communication link. A first use of the invention is for ensuring conformance of a mobile device's communication s to the cryptographic requirements of different countries, even when the devi ce crosses a country boundary during communication.

    Abstract: A camera system has a plurality of image capture devices 30 and data storage arrays 100 with output lines arranged in an interleaved manner so that interleaving is automatically achieved without complex image processing. The interleaved image or video output of such a camera system will appear as a three dimensional image when viewed through a screen of lenticular lenses.

    Abstract: A session processing module for a server 12 adapted to communicate across the Internet with a plurality of clients 18 runs within a servlet 10 and comprises means for allocating a session identifier in response to a first input stream of a session between a client and the server; means for negotiating communication characteristics for the session (authentication, encryption, compression); and means 14 for instantiating, according to the communication characteristics, routines for processing subsequent session input streams containing request data and routines for generating session output streams containing response data. The method enables a variable depth of penetration to be applied to a dynamically specified quality of service for a session. Thus, in one embodiment the module relays encrypted request data for a session to a back-end server 16, and receives from the back-end server encrypted response data for said session for said client. Alternatively, the module itself decrypts input streams containing request data and processes the data to generate output streams containing encrypted response data for said client.

    Abstract: In a distributed data processing system each component is provided with an object orientated platform together with instantiations of a generic network object for each application involving data transmission, enabling it to run a multiplexing/demultiplexing object appropriate to each application being processed. This effectively provides multiple concurrent data "pipes" over a single physical/logical connection. This can be used in a retail smart card system.

    Abstract: A communications system may be used for transmitting and/or receiving data over a network. The communications system includes means responsive to requests for a desired quality of service specifying at least two quality of service parameters, such as bandwidth, latency, error rate, and so on, for determining whether or not the requested quality of service is available. The quality of service requests specify the desired quality of service in terms of logical expressions involving two or more of said at least two quality of service parameters. This allows, for example, a desired quality of service to accept a higher error rate if the available bandwidth is higher. In the preferred embodiment, each quality of service parameter is specified in terms of a range between minimum and a maximum acceptable values.
