Abstract: A method for delivering multiple write commands is provided. The method includes: encoding data to be written and corresponding addresses in the multiple write commands to obtain encoded data and an encoded address, wherein the addresses are not sequential; generating a virtual burst write command according to the encoded data and the encoded addresses; and transmitting a virtual burst-mode start indicator and the virtual burst write command through a serial bus.

Abstract: A multi-mode image sensor applicable to image sensing and additional detection is provided. The multi-mode image sensor includes: a photodiode array, a hybrid type color filter array that is positioned on the photodiode array, and a mode controller. The photodiode array may include a plurality of photodiodes. The hybrid type color filter array may be arranged to perform optical filtering for the photodiode array. The mode controller may activate the photodiode array to output corresponding photo detection results in any of at least two modes. For example, in addition to an image sensing mode, the at least two modes may further include an ambient light sensor (ALS) mode and/or a proximity sensor (PS) mode.

Abstract: In a method of automatically selecting audio format for output signal of a tuner, a SAW filter is configured to a bandwidth of 5.5 MHz for filtering IF signal so as to generate CVBS signal and SSIF signal. Then, band-pass filters are used to detect a back porch of the CVBS signal thereby determining whether signal amplitude at a center frequency of 4.43 MHz is greater than that at a center frequency of 3.58 MHz. Finally, a bandwidth of 4.5 MHz is assigned to the SAW filter for filtering the intermediate frequency signal to re-generate the CVBS signal when the amplitude at 4.43 MHz is smaller than that at 3.58 MHz. Further, a video decoder decodes the CVBS signal to determine a video format from NTSC, PAL-M, and PAL-N formats, and an audio decoder decodes the SSIF signal to determine an audio format from MN, BG, DK, and I formats.

Abstract: A Chinese multifont recognition system, in which a scanner can input Chinese character pattern data into a recognition system to recognize all characters to complete the chinese input operation. The recognition system can recognize various printed fonts and chinese characters in various sizes. The recognition method is arranged that all the Chinese characters to be recognized are to be put in the system; all the features of a Chinese character are extracted, and stored in a feature data base. Later, any input Chinese character will recognized in accordance with the data base. Since it is a technique of extracting the features of a character pattern, the system can recognize the multifont Chinese characters. If it is necessary to expand the number of characters in the data base established originally, a character feature learning system may be used for storing new characters therein.
