  • Publication number: 20200387461
    Abstract: A chip system including I/O pins, a memory chip and a processing chip is provided. The processing chip includes I/O pads, memory access pads, a processor, an I/O controller, a memory controller and a transmission gate module. Under an operation mode, the I/O controller allows the processor to communicate with an external circuit device through the I/O controller, the I/O pads and the I/O pins. Under the operation mode, the memory controller allows the processor to access the memory chip through the memory controller and the memory access pads. The transmission gate module is enabled during a program mode or a test mode to allow the external circuit device to perform programming or testing on the memory chip through the I/O pins, the I/O pads, the transmission gate module and the memory access pads.

  • Publication number: 20200301862
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pin multiplexer including a multiplexing circuit, a control circuit and a detecting circuit. The multiplexing circuit includes a first port, a second port and a third port, wherein the first port, the second port and the third port are coupled to a first device, a second device and a third device, respectively. The control circuit is configured to control the multiplexing circuit to operate in a first mode or a second mode, wherein when the multiplexing circuit operates in the first mode, the first port is coupled the second port; and when the multiplexing circuit operates in the second mode, the first port is coupled to the third port. When operating in the second mode, the detecting circuit detects a signal of the first port to generate a detection result for dynamically switching the data transmission direction between the third device and the first device.

  • Patent number: 10735489
    Abstract: Techniques are described for switching streaming of media content between content delivery networks (CDNs) during mid-stream. An initial CDN can be used to stream the media content. The performance of a second CDN can be measured by requesting a fragment of the media content as a measurement or test fragment. Streaming of the media content can be switched to the second CDN if its performance is determined to be better than the initial CDN.

  • Patent number: 10433023
    Abstract: Techniques for delivering live streaming content are described by which a streaming heuristic is selected based on the delay between the live and client playheads. For live content for which the delay is short, a low latency streaming heuristic is selected which is designed to handle live content streams for which only a few seconds of content can be buffered. For live content for which the delay is longer, a higher latency streaming heuristic is selected which is designed to handle streams for which the delay is sufficient to build a buffer of content fragments.
