  • Publication number: 20080104438
    Abstract: A microcomputer is put into a sleep mode immediately when tasks become ready for the sleep mode so as to eliminate wasted power. Multiple application tasks are executed. Each application task provides notification regarding entry into sleep-ready state. When any application task provides notification, a status management section program sets a flag indicating that the application task goes to the sleep-ready state. The status management section checks flags of all the application tasks to determine whether all the application tasks go to the sleep-ready state, whereupon the microcomputer is put into the sleep mode.

  • Patent number: 7346006
    Abstract: A transmission system is provided which includes a transmitter working to transmit data on a frame basis and a receiver. If two frames having the same data are inputted in sequence to the receiver, the receiver decides that it is unnecessary to decode a following one of the frames and stops receiving or decoding it. This results in decreases in operation load and power consumption of the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20050251305
    Abstract: The objective is to provide an electronic control apparatus capable of overwriting data in a nonvolatile memory, even during control operation. An ECU (10) includes a CPU (100), a flash EEPROM 101, and a calibration RAM (102). When calibration is performed, data in a calibration area of the flash EEPROM (101) is stored into the calibration RAM (102). A memory area of the calibration RAM (102) is overlapped over the calibration area to perform calibration. The data in the calibration area is written into the calibration RAM (102). When the calibration is completed, a super-user mode is entered in which the data stored in the calibration RAM (102) is written into the flash EEPROM (101) by use of a control register (113).

  • Patent number: 6959181
    Abstract: Data formulated according to a user's request signal is transmitted from a transmitter device to a receiver device under a wireless or a wired system. The transmitter device includes a transmission controller that formulates the data to be transmitted and memorizes the request signal as a backup signal. If the data transmission is not completed due to a power source trouble such as a voltage drop, the data to be transmitted is automatically formulated again based on the backup signal and sent out to the receiver. If the data transmission is successful, the backup signal is eliminated from a memory. Thus, the data requested by the user is transmitted without fail even if the transmitter becomes temporarily inoperative.
