  • Patent number: 8848586
    Abstract: An electronic device with network connection functionality includes a transceiver chip and a processing circuit. The transceiver chip is utilized for processing a data corresponding to a physical (PHY) layer. The processing circuit is externally connected to the transceiver chip, for processing a data corresponding to a media access control (MAC) layer. When the transceiver chip receives a designated packet, the transceiver chip generates a notification signal to notify at least one portion of the processing circuit to be switched from a first operating mode to a second operating mode.

  • Patent number: 8314752
    Abstract: In a method for driving a display device, an address counter is used for generating a plurality of address variables corresponding to data of a scan line. Next, an address mapping circuit generates a first target address by data-mapping an address variable, and generates a second target address by data mapping data stored in an address look-up table memory. Subsequently, a row buffer memory accesses data corresponding to a first scan line based on the first target address, and accesses data corresponding to a second scan line based on the second target address.

  • Patent number: 7898598
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for judging video modes are provided. The method compares the values of the corresponding pixels of two consecutive frames in a video data to obtain a difference value between the two frames and then all of the difference values between any two consecutive frames are collected to form a difference value sequence. The difference value sequence is further amplified by a high pass filter and then compared with a threshold value. The comparison result is provided for successively judging the movie mode of the video data. Since the amplified signal values are suitable for emphasizing the difference of each frame, the provided method is capable of more correctly identifying the movie mode of the original video data, which further eliminates the drawback in the prior art that it is hard to determine the threshold value or to judge the movie mode thereof.

  • Patent number: 7688388
    Abstract: An image processing method and device thereof are provided. The device includes a capture device and a processor. The capture device is adopted for receiving a plurality of frames and comparing at least two adjacent frames to obtain an area selection signal according to a differential value there-between. The processor is connected to the capture device for receiving the area selection signal and to separate each of the adjacent frames into at least two areas. Each of the areas of the adjacent frames is performed by an image processing step respectively, and then the images of the areas are combined to obtain a resulted frame.
