  • Patent number: 12192649
    Abstract: A multi-point measurement of a scene captured in an image frame may be used to process the image frame, such as by applying white balance corrections to the image frame. In some examples, the image frame may be segmented into portions that are illuminated by different illumination sources. Different portions of the image frame may be white balanced differently based on the color temperature of the illumination source for the corresponding portion. Infrared measurements of multiple points in the scene may be used to determine a characteristic of the illumination source of different portions of the scene. For example, a picture that includes indoor and outdoor portions may be illuminated by at least two illumination sources that produce different infrared measurements values. White balancing may be applied differently to these two portions to correct for color temperature of the different sources.

    Abstract: A control chip providing power to a sink device and including a connection port, an encoder, a decoder, and a control circuit is provided. The connection port provides an output voltage and an inquiry signal to the sink device, and receives an acknowledgement signal provided by the sink device. The encoder generates the inquiry signal. The decoder decodes the acknowledgement signal to generate a decoded result. In a compensation mode, the control circuit obtains an actual voltage received by the sink device according to the decoded result and adjusts the output voltage according to the actual voltage received by the sink device. In a setting mode, the control circuit obtains a protect-point voltage of the sink device according to the decoded result and adjusts the output voltage according to the protect-point voltage of the sink device to prevent the output voltage from being higher than the protect-point voltage.

  • Publication number: 20240421812
    Abstract: A dynamic protection circuit including an adjustment circuit, a detection circuit, a control circuit, and a counter circuit is provided. The adjustment circuit adjusts an output voltage based on a predetermined value. The detection circuit detects whether the output voltage is higher than an upper-limit value or lower than a lower-limit value. The control circuit changes the predetermined value and disables the detection circuit while the predetermined value is being changed. The counter circuit starts to adjust a count value in response to the detection circuit being disabled. In response to the counter circuit adjusting the count value, the control circuit adjusts the upper-limit value and the lower-limit value to be proportional to the output voltage. In response to the count value being equal to a target value, the counter circuit enables the detection circuit.
