  • Patent number: 11036460
    Abstract: A device for detecting an audio interface includes a processing unit, a first audio interface transmitting circuit, and a second audio interface transmitting circuit. The processing unit is utilized to generate a clock signal and a word select (WS) signal. The first audio interface transmitting circuit is utilized to generate a first audio data according to the clock signal. The second audio interface transmitting circuit is utilized to generate a second audio data according to the clock signal and the WS signal. The processing unit switches to the first audio interface transmitting circuit if a voltage potential of the WS signal remains at a high voltage level or remains at a low voltage level longer than a predetermined period. The processing unit switches to the second audio interface transmitting circuit if the voltage potential of the WS signal changes during the predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 10817085
    Abstract: An active stylus pen comprises a touch component and a pressure sensing module. One end of the touch component is disposed at a nib part of the active stylus pen, wherein the touch component is configured to receive an external pressure. The pressure sensing module is connected to the touch component, wherein the pressure sensing module is configured to generate an oscillation signal, wherein the oscillation signal has a first frequency when the touch component receives the external pressure and the external pressure reaches a first threshold value, and wherein the oscillation signal is adjusted to have a second frequency when the touch component receives the external pressure and the external pressure does not reach the first threshold value; wherein a difference of the first frequency and the second frequency is larger than a second threshold value.
