Patent

CA 2664806

The present invention is directed towards reducing hard disk drive (HDD) activity by reducing the activity of an internal time shift buffer (TSB). The HDD may be included in a digital host communications terminal (DHCT). The TSB can switch between buffering a high definition quality to a standard definition quality of a streaming program. Additionally, the TSB can be disabled to prevent buffering of the streaming program. The reduced buffering of the TSB is determined by several factors including the temperature of the HDD, the health of the HDD, a set-up menu including TSB options, and/or whether there is a high definition television connected to the DHCT.

La présente invention concerne la diminution de l'activité d'un lecteur de disque dur (HDD) via la réduction de l'activité d'une mémoire tampon de différence de temps interne (TSB). Ce lecteur de disque dur (HDD) peut être compris dans un terminal de communication hôte numérique (DHCT). La mémoire tampon TSB permet de passer d'une mise en mémoire tampon d'une qualité haute définition à celle d'une qualité de définition standard d'un programme à lecture en continu. En outre, la mémoire tampon TSB peut être désactivée pour empêcher la mise en mémoire tampon du programme à lecture en continu. La mise en mémoire tampon réduite de la mémoire tampon TSB est déterminée par plusieurs facteurs, y compris la température du lecteur de disque dur (HDD), son état de santé, un menu de configuration comportant des options de la mémoire tampon TSB, et/ou l'état de connexion ou de déconnexion d'une télévision haute définition au terminal de communication hôte numérique (DHCT).
