  • Patent number: 11216401
    Abstract: A host-to-host chip includes: first and second ports coupled to first and second hosts respectively; and a host-to-host control circuit coupled to the first port and the second port. When the host-to-host chip is coupled to the second host, the host-to-host control circuit identifies whether the second host is an i-Phone or an Android smartphone. If the host-to-host control circuit identifies that the second host is an i-Phone smartphone, in response to a command from the host-to-host control circuit, the second host switches to host role from device role, and the host-to-host control circuit controls whether data is transmitted between the first host and the second host via a DMA path. If the host-to-host control circuit identifies that the second host is an Android smartphone, the host-to-host control circuit determines that data is transmitted between the first host and the second host in a pass-through mode.

  • Publication number: 20210019274
    Abstract: A USB bridge including a first USB port, a second USB port, a microcontroller, and a host-to-host function circuit is provided. The first USB port is coupled to the first USB host. The second USB port is coupled to the second USB host. The microcontroller is coupled to the first and the second USB ports. The microcontroller communicates with the first and the second USB hosts via the first and the second USB ports, such that the first and the second USB hosts respectively simulate the USB ports of the first and the second USB hosts as virtual COM ports. The host-to-host function circuit is coupled to the microcontroller and configured to perform a host-to-host transmission function by simulating the USB ports as virtual COM ports.

  • Publication number: 20180188502
    Abstract: The present invention provides a panorama image capturing device and a panorama image capturing module thereof. The panorama image capturing module includes a lens structure, an optical structure, a single image sensing chip, and a single image signal processor. The lens structure includes a first lens assembly for capturing a first predetermined image light source, and a second lens assembly for capturing a second predetermined image light source. The optical structure is disposed between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly. The single image sensing chip has a first image sensing region for receiving the first predetermined image light source through the optical structure, and a second image sensing region for receiving the second predetermined image light source through the optical structure. The first and the second predetermined image light sources are processed by the single image signal processor for obtaining a panorama image.

  • Patent number: 9293108
    Abstract: A transmission system includes a transmission apparatus, a first electronic device and a second electronic device electrically connected to one another. The first electronic includes a composite driver, a first application program, a first display image and a virtual display device. The first composite driver emulates the virtual display device according to the first display image. The second electronic device includes a second application program and a second display image. The transmission interface includes a transmission controller and two transmission interfaces. The two transmission interfaces are connected to the first electronic device and the second electronic device, respectively. When the first application program transmits output data corresponding to the virtual display device via the two transmission interfaces and the transmission controller to the second application program, a virtual display image corresponding to the first display image is presented on the second display image.
