  • Patent number: 11568599
    Abstract: A navigation system for a motor vehicle is provided. The navigation system comprises: a display interface located in the vehicle and configured to display a position of the vehicle; and a processor in communication with a vehicle sensor and a server and configured to receive vehicle-related information. The processor is configured to display the related information on the display interface in real time following the vehicle position when the related information belongs to a first preset category. A display method of a navigation map is also provided. The navigation system and the display method provided in the present application can help users obtain auxiliary information needed to drive on the current route from the navigation interface more conveniently in the process of using the navigation map, and thus provide a better driving experience to users.

  • Patent number: 6526536
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed which includes a start test mode circuit for generating a test mode start-up signal to cause the integrated circuit to enter a test mode, and an automatic reset circuit responsive to the test mode start-up signal for preventing the integrated circuit from erroneously entering a test mode during normal operation.

  • Patent number: 5977893
    Abstract: A test method for charge redistribution type digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters by utilizing the special characteristics of a DAC or ADC such that the accuracy and linearity of the converted signal is only determined by the internal capacitance ratios of the converter, and that the accuracy and linearity are not related to the test reference voltage, the test voltage and the noise signal of the test machine. The test method utilizes a principle of capacitance comparison to directly compare the capacitance ratios in a converter in order to determine the accuracy and linearity of the converted signal. The present invention method enables an effective reduction in the test time and test steps required and an increase in the test efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5745541
    Abstract: A data shift control circuit for a shift register in response to a logic operation command code is disclosed. The shift register includes a first register and a second register and the logic operation command code includes a first portion and a second portion. The circuit includes a first decoder for decoding the first portion to transmit a move signal; a second decoder for decoding the second portion to transmit a control signal; a control signal channel, electrically connected to the first register and the second register, for allowing the first register and the second register to receive the control signal and for allowing the shift register to execute a first action; and a move signal channel, electrically connected to all registers of the shift register for allowing the all registers to receive the move signal and for allowing the move register to execute a second action.
