Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a power transformer, a first lossless voltage conversion circuit, a first low-dropout linear regulator and a secondary side power supply circuit. The first low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) generates a first operation voltage as power supply for being supplied to a sub-operation circuit. The secondary side power supply circuit includes a second lossless voltage conversion circuit and a second LDO. The second LDO generates a second operation voltage. The first operation voltage and the second operation voltage are shunted to a common node. When a first lossless conversion voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage, the second LDO is enabled to generate the second operation voltage to replace the first operation voltage as power supply supplied to the sub-operation circuit; wherein the second lossless conversion voltage is lower than the first lossless switching voltage.

Abstract: In a service method by granting authorization before authentication, a service processing unit receives a service request that includes authentication information, and provides corresponding service. An authentication unit is used to authenticate the authentication information of the service request. A decision control unit is used to determine whether the service request calls for a service that allows pre-authorization. If affirmative, the decision control unit commands the service processing unit to first provide a partial service, simultaneously commands the authentication unit to authenticate the authentication information, and commands the service processing unit to further provide subsequent service upon successful authentication, and to stop the partial service and reject the service request if otherwise. Hence, under the condition that service security is not affected, authentication waiting time is shortened so as to achieve the effect of a faster response to providing service.
