  • Patent number: 8332551
    Abstract: The invention relates to a compressed data managing system and method for circular buffer. By using the system and method of the invention, when storing the compressed data in a circular buffer and an event occurs, the hardware compression mechanism can stop immediately, without jeopardizing the decompression of the compressed data. Therefore, the system and method of the invention can overcome the following conventional problem: Conventional real-time tracers need several cycles to write the compressed data into the trace memory, which is unbeneficial to error diagnosis. Since when an error occurs, the system might enter the unstable state, this could cause that the tracers fail to write the last compressed data into the trace memory.

  • Patent number: 8310969
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a mobile device and a power saving method thereof. The mobile device comprises a modem processor and a data processor. The modem processor is electrically connected to a wireless network system for receiving/transmitting a network packet. When the data processor is in a hibernation mode, the IP packet protocol module of the modem processor unpacks the received network packets to access the packet data. If it is determined that the packet data need to be processed by the data processor, the modem processor wakes up the data processor; whereas the data processor remains in the hibernation mode. Thus, the time period in which the data processor is in the hibernation mode is extended so as to achieve power saving effect.
