  • Publication number: 20120036483
    Abstract: A device is described having a memory storing data specifying a change animation between pictures to be displayed successively on the display, a setting circuit configured to store a setting specifying that a change animation between pictures to be displayed successively on the display is to be carried out in accordance with the specification of the change animation given by the data, a display controller configured to control a display to display a first picture, a detector configured to detect an event which triggers that a second picture is to be displayed on the display, a determination circuit configured to read the setting and to determine, based on the setting, a change animation between the first picture and the second picture, wherein the display controller is configured to control the display to display the change animation, and, after the change animation, to display the second picture.

  • Patent number: 7751269
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to a coupling device, to a processor arrangement, to a data processing arrangement, and to methods for transmitting data. In an embodiment of the invention, a coupling device for coupling a memory, which has a serial data output, with a processor, which has a parallel data input, is provided. The coupling device may include a serial data interface configured to receive data, a parallel data interface configured to transmit data, and a cache memory coupled to the serial data interface and to the parallel data interface, wherein the cache memory is configured to receive and store data, which have been received in a serial data format via the serial data interface, and to transmit data stored in the cache memory to the parallel data interface.

  • Publication number: 20020101846
    Abstract: A TDMA receiver, e.g. mobile radio, is configured to be adaptable to transmission conditions. A redundantly coded message [lacuna] which is contained in a plurality of bursts of a frame sequence is received by the receiver. Essential functional groups of the receiver are disconnected from the power supply after the decoding of information of a message block and before the next message block arrives. Only a specific number of bursts is decoded, but, in the event of unsuccessful decoding, the system is switched over to decoding a larger number of the bursts.

  • Patent number: 6233708
    Abstract: A frame error detection method includes the steps of determining a plurality of comparison values which include a given comparison value depending on a frame energy of a given speech frame or a change in frame energy between the given speech frame and a preceding speech frame. The given speech frame is identified as a bad speech frame if a logical combination of a plurality of criteria is met. One of the criteria is based on a comparison of a threshold value with the given comparison value depending on the frame energy or the change in frame energy. A device for frame error detection and a receiver including the device for frame error detection are also provided.
