  • Publication number: 20250074230
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an interface circuit, an electric device, a detection method, a system, a media, and a program product. The charging device interface circuit includes a charging interface and a voltage divider circuit coupled to each other. The voltage divider circuit is coupled with a power supply. The voltage divider circuit performs voltage division of an output voltage of the power supply and outputs a detection signal. The detection signal output by the voltage divider circuit when the charging interface is coupled to a charging device is different from the detection signal output by the voltage divider circuit when the charging interface is not coupled to a charging device. By applying this disclosure, it is possible to detect whether the charging device is coupled to the electric device.

  • Patent number: 12210742
    Abstract: A human-machine interaction system is used with a projector system, and includes an interactive terminal. The interactive terminal has a projection assembly for operating an application system and a control panel for issuing instructions and/or inputting data to the application system according to functional requirements. The human-machine interaction system accomplishes a complex human-machine interaction function by means of multi-mode design for automatic switching between a touch mode and a full keyboard mode of a control panel. In addition, the one-to-one correspondence combination relationship between devices is broken by means of contact detection, so that different control panels can control different intelligent conference projection systems, thereby achieving the free pairing and connection of devices.

  • Patent number: 12179098
    Abstract: Before a network jitter occurs, a server receives operation instructions from an electronic device, generates a plurality of first rendering instruction streams based on the operation instructions, sends the plurality of first rendering instruction streams to the electronic device, and generates and stores one or more first rendering contexts for one or more first rendering instruction streams in the plurality of first rendering instruction streams. When the network jitter occurs, the server generates a second rendering instruction stream based on received operation instructions, and generates and stores a second rendering context based on the second rendering instruction stream. After the recovery from the network jitter, the server sends a set of rendering context differences to the electronic device. In this way, network transmission traffic after the recovery from the network jitter is reduced, transmission and processing delays are also reduced, and user experience is improved.
