  • Method and apparatus for wired infrared demodulation
    Patent number: 7593649
    Abstract: Method and system for processing a modulated WIR input signal. A digital device includes an input receiving circuit. This circuit receives the modulated WIR input signal and detects a modulation carrier pulse burst in the WIR input signal and generates a valid pulse signal. A pulse generating circuit is operatively coupled to the input receiving circuit and generates a pulse signal of a specific duration based in part on the pulse burst.

  • Multi-protocol A/V control port with selective modulation
    Patent number: 7203773
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a control port in accordance with a variety of different protocols. A main processor communicates a configuration instruction to an interface controller. The interface controller uses the configuration instruction to select a protocol driver and to process signals to a control signal processor. The signals to the control signal processor include an output signal, an input signal, a direction signal, and a modulation enable signal. The control signal processor uses the direction signal to determine whether to output data or input data. The control signal processor uses the modulation enable signal to determine whether to couple a carrier signal on a transition from one digital level to another. The interface controller outputs data in accordance with a selected protocol and processes data input in accordance with the selected protocol.
