  • Publication number: 20240184268
    Abstract: An electronic system and a setting method for the electronic system are provided. The electronic system includes a control source circuit, switches, and electronic devices. The control source circuit provides a driving data string. The driving data string includes multiple driving data with different identification codes. A first terminal of a first switch among the switches is coupled to the control source circuit. A first terminal of a second switch among the switches is coupled to a second terminal of the first switch. A first electronic device among the electronic devices turns off the first switch and receives a first driving data with a first identification code, and turns on the first switch after receiving the first driving data, so that a second electronic device among the electronic devices receives a second driving data with a second identification code.

  • Patent number: 11835056
    Abstract: A multi-fan system and a driving method for the multi-fan system are provided. The multi-fan system includes a control source circuit and multiple electronic devices. The control source circuit includes a driving signal output terminal. The control source circuit outputs a device driving signal string through the driving signal output terminal. The device driving signal string includes multiple device driving signals with different identification codes. Each of the electronic devices includes a driving signal input terminal, a fan, a light emitting element group, and a controller. The controller receives a corresponding device driving signal in the device driving signal string through the driving signal input terminal. The corresponding device driving signal has a corresponding identification code corresponding to a corresponding electronic device. The controller controls an operation of at least one of the fan and the light emitting element group based on the corresponding device driving signal.

  • Patent number: 11811406
    Abstract: A driving device and a driving-program updating method are provided. The driving device includes a signal converter, a storage circuit, a controller, a driver, and a detection circuit. The signal converter receives a first signal and converts the first signal into a second signal. The storage circuit stores a driving program. The controller provides a control signal in response to the second signal and the driving program. The driver drives a fan unit in response to the control signal. The detection circuit detects whether the first signal includes a program update command. When the first signal includes the program update command, the detection circuit updates the driving program stored in the storage circuit based on the program update command.

  • Patent number: 11499560
    Abstract: A fan system and a monitoring method are provided. The fan system includes a fan device and a controller. The fan device includes a fan unit, a detector, and a memory. The detector detects an operating state of the fan unit during operation to obtain operating raw data corresponding to the operating state. The memory records the operating raw data and stores a data protocol. The controller provides a monitoring request to allow the memory to provide the operating raw data and a data protocol to the controller, converts the operating raw data into operating state data through the data protocol, and provides an early warning notification signal according to the operating state data. When the operating raw data is provided to the controller, the operating raw data stored in the memory is erased.

  • Publication number: 20220312573
    Abstract: An electronic device and a driving method are provided. The electronic device includes a driving signal input terminal, a signal transmission terminal, a fan, a light-emitting element group, and a controller. The controller receives a first fan driving signal through the driving signal input terminal, and drives the fan by using the first fan driving. The controller provides a third fan driving signal to control an operation of the fan and provides a light-emitting driving signal string to drive the light-emitting element group based on a control signal when the first fan driving signal is converted into a second fan driving signal and the control signal is received through the signal transmission terminal.
