  • Publication number: 20080130691
    Abstract: A Microsoft Windows BDA digital signal processing system includes a multimedia-processing device for processing a plurality of analog data packets and outputting a digital stream. A splitter receives and duplicates the digital stream to output a first digital stream and a second digital stream. A demultiplexer receives the first digital stream. When the first digital stream is a transport stream, then the demultiplexer demutlitplexes the first digital stream. A non-transport stream controller receives the second digital stream. When the second digital stream is a non-transport stream, then the non-transport stream controller processes the second digital stream. A processing method using the foregoing Microsoft Windows BDA digital signal processing system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7245441
    Abstract: A document camera is used to show image of an object on a display. In the document camera, a first image data of the object obtained by a video-capturing device is derived into a second image data and a third image data by an image processor in response to a zoom operation, wherein the second image data results in a zoomed image of the object and the third image data results in a scaled image of the object. In response to the zoom operation, there is also a mark frame data generated by a position information controller, which results in a mark frame. The zoomed image, scaled image and mark frame are then synthesized into a combined image by an image synthesizer, and the mark frame superimposes the scaled image to indicate a result of the zoom operation.

  • Publication number: 20070159558
    Abstract: A power control method used with a TV module of a portable electronic apparatus is used for selectively entering the TV module in a power-saving mode. At first, the portable electronic apparatus is activated. When the portable electronic apparatus is activated, the power supply condition of the portable electronic apparatus is detected. If the power supply condition of the portable electronic apparatus indicates that an external power source is used, the power-saving mode of the TV module is suspended. Optionally, the power-saving mode of the TV module is suspended if a priority setting condition indicates that play efficiency takes priority.
