Patents by Inventor I-Fa Chen

I-Fa Chen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9166699
    Abstract: An infrared reception circuit and an infrared reception method are provided. The infrared reception circuit includes an infrared receiver for receiving infrared signals and converting the infrared signals into analog signals, an amplifier for amplifying the analog signals, an analog/digital converter for converting the amplified analog signals into digital signals, a digital filter for filtering the digital signals via respective frequency bands, a digital frequency-adjusting demodulator for demodulating the filtered digital signals into digital audio frequency signals, and a digital/analog converter for converting the digital audio frequency signals into analog audio signals. Compared with the prior art, the infrared reception circuit and the infrared reception method require far less elements that are used for receiving infrared signals and can still achieve optimal reception, thereby simplifying processes of manufacture and increasing throughput and good yield as a result.
