  • Patent number: 7801212
    Abstract: A video playing device includes a TV encoding circuit, a pre-setting circuit, and a video processing circuit. The TV encoding circuit encodes a first picture and generates a VSYNC signal. The pre-setting circuit is electrically connected with the TV encoding circuit, and receives the VSYNC signal to set a pre-setting signal. The pre-setting signal is enabled before the TV encoding circuit encodes a second picture. The video processing circuit is electrically connected with the pre-setting circuit, and receives the pre-setting signal to execute a video setting process for setting the video playing device to play the second picture. The video setting process is completed before the second picture is encoded. The pre-setting signal is adjustable such that the video setting process is completed before the second picture is played.

  • Patent number: 7334063
    Abstract: A method for accessing digital data information is used for reducing accessing time when a processor accesses digital data from a register. The method comprises the steps of accessing data from a register with a processor, continuously accessing data from the register with the processor if the data in the register is valid, enabling an identifier register with the processor if the data in the register is invalid, transmitting an interrupt signal to the processor, disabling the identifier register with the processor, and accessing the data from the register with the processor.
