  • Publication number: 20120260110
    Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus is connected to a power supply device via a transmission line, and it includes a designated connector, a charge control circuit, and a judgment circuit. The designated connector includes five terminals respectively corresponding to five pins of a USB connector of the power supply device. When the power supply device is connected to the portable electronic apparatus, the first terminal of the designated connector is logic high, the fourth terminal of the designated connector is logic high, and the third terminal of the designated connector is logic high after pulling up the voltage level of the second terminal, the judgment circuit pulls down the voltage level of the third terminal and detects the voltage level of the third terminal so as to generate a determining result for determining a type of the power supply device.

  • Publication number: 20110197006
    Abstract: A detachable wireless communication module and a method for activating the same are disclosed. The detachable communication module, to be connected to a corresponding host connector of an electronic device, includes a housing, a short-range radio frequency module embedded into the housing, and a module connector. When the wireless communication module is detachably connected to the electronic device, the housing becomes a portion of a casing of the electronic device. The module connector, disposed on the housing, is detachably connected to the host connector of the electronic device. The module connector is used for communication between the short-range radio frequency module and a host circuitry of the electronic device. When the wireless communication module is detachably connected to the electronic device, a contact of the module connector is used for module detection to indicate that the short-range radio frequency module is embedded in the wireless communication module.

  • Patent number: 7995659
    Abstract: A prediction module includes a computation control unit and first to sixth processing units. The computation control unit arranges the pixels of a reference block outputted by a frame buffer appropriately according to data decoded by an entropy decoder into first and second pixel signals, and outputs the same to the first to sixth processing units in units of cycles. The processing units are controlled by the computation control unit to respectively complete corresponding computations in a cycle, and to use the computation results as values of first to sixth output signals to be correspondingly outputted in a next cycle. The computation control unit receives the first to sixth output signals, and computes the output signals so as to obtain pixel values of a macroblock to be predicted.

  • Publication number: 20100331046
    Abstract: A handheld mobile phone includes at least two buttons, a logic circuit, and a processing unit, wherein each button is used for performing at least one specific function. The logic circuit is coupled to the at least two buttons for generating a corresponding specific signal when one of the at least two buttons is pressed alone, and for generating at least a control signal when all of the at least two buttons are pressed. The processing unit executes the specific function of the pressed button according to the corresponding specific signal. When all of the at least two buttons are pressed, the processing unit controls the handheld mobile phone to enter a reset state from an operating state according to at least the control signal.
