Abstract: A periodic process performing system includes a system processor to which a first periodic real-time process, which starts to be executed starts for each of a first time interval from a first start time, is assigned; a wakeup logic which provides the system processor with a first state capable of executing the first periodic real-time process; and a counter which supplies a first tick signal to the wakeup logic for each of the first time interval from a second start time earlier than the first start time, and supplies a second tick signal to the system processor for each of the first time interval from a third start time between the first start time and the second start time.

Abstract: A system on chip (SoC) adjusts power of a memory through a handshake. The SoC includes a memory controller and a power manager. The memory controller is configured to control a memory. The power manager is configured to manage a supply power level of the memory. The memory controller is configured to output, to the power manager, a memory access level indicating a frequency of accesses to the memory. The power manager is configured to adjust the supply power level of the memory according to the memory access level.

Abstract: Disclosed is a communicating method capable of preventing data collision for a Bluetooth system which communicates with a plurality of other Bluetooth systems on a scatternet. The communicating method of a Bluetooth system comprises the steps of: receiving a communication request signal from a second external device; scanning the received communication request signal to convert the operation of the Bluetooth system from as the master to the first external device into as a slave to the second external device; and transmitting a mode-converting request signal into the second external device to convert the link state of the Bluetooth system with the second external device into a sniff mode in converting the operation of the Bluetooth system from as the slave to the second external device into as the master to the first external device.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting 50 Hz GPS data-bit boundaries and detecting satellite-signal reception. The apparatus includes a correlating unit and a data-bit boundary detecting unit. The correlating unit outputs first (I) correlation integral values and second (Q) correlation integral values sequentially by calculating a correlation integrals between a satellite pulse train and a replica PN code. The data-bit boundary detecting unit changes the sign of each of the first (I) correlation integral values and second (Q) correlation integral values, based on comparing each of the first and second correlation integral values with an immediately previously outputted (first or second, respectively) correlation integral value, and generates data-bit boundary detection signals having information corresponding to the data-bit boundary using the changed correlation integral values. Thus, the data-bit boundary in GPS satellite signals can be detected.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for determining or estimating position using GPS signals. The system includes a receiver such as a GPS receiver for receiving GPS signals and a processor for determining position from the received GPS signals. The receiver receives a first GPS signal from a first GPS satellite at a first position of the first GPS satellite. A second GPS signal is received by the receiver from the first GPS satellite at a second position of the first GPS satellite. Position of the receiver is determined using the first and second GPS signals. Time differences between the two signals can be determined and used in calculating position.

Abstract: A virtual emulation module of a subsystem based on a virtual platform includes a virtual core and a virtual program code including a set of functions. The virtual core is realized using a high-level language and corresponds to a core of the subsystem to be realized onto a system-on-chip (SOC). The set of functions of the virtual core are realized using the high-level language independent of the core of the subsystem. The subsystem to be realized onto the SOC may correspond to a microcontroller unit (MCU) subsystem or to a digital signal processor (DSP) subsystem. The high-level language realizing the virtual core and the functions of the virtual program code may be C-language.

Abstract: Location information is received from a terrestrial location indicator device. The location information is based on location of the terrestrial location indicator device. Location information is also determined from a GPS satellite signal. The location of a device relative to an object in a map is determined based on the location information from the terrestrial location indicator device and the location information from the GPS satellite signal. The location information from the terrestrial location indicator device may be used to distinguish the device location relative to at least two adjacent objects, such as roads, in a map.
