Patent number: 12348799Abstract: Enhanced trick-play modes for video content that is being streamed to a client from a server are described. In an embodiment, the enhanced trick-play modes are provided with relatively low latency and high quality using trick-play optimization techniques for a streaming environment, avoiding the need to stream the entire contents of the portions through which the viewer is fast forwarding. By employing sophisticated selection criteria of which parts of the content to download at what time, the quality of the playback experience is improved versus that which would conventionally be possible when using a simple sequential frame data download. The streaming client maintains a cache of nearby significant frames, such as nearby key frames, in forward and/or reverse directions of the current playback position, without having to download the entire portions of the video stream in which the significant frames reside. The trick-play modes utilize these frames.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2024Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Adeia Media Solutions Inc.Inventors: Kim Liu, Michael F. Klar, Todd Kulick, Jonathan A.

Patent number: 8922123Abstract: A light-emitting device control method is provided. The light-emitting device control method comprises the steps outlined below. A light-emitting module of a light-emitting device having light-emitting unit string each having light-emitting units connected in series is operated. One end of each light-emitting unit strings receives a same DC voltage. A voltage drop value across each current control units connected in series to at least one of the light-emitting unit strings is retrieved to further determine whether the light-emitting unit of each of the light-emitting unit strings malfunctions. When x light-emitting units of a specific string malfunction and x is larger than or equal to a malfunction threshold value p, the x malfunctioned light-emitting units are shorted and (x?p+1) light-emitting units in each of the light-emitting unit strings other than the specific string are shorted. The DC voltage received by each of the light-emitting units is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Delta Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Bao-Kim Liu, Ting-Lung Hsiao

Patent number: 7345709Abstract: A method and an apparatus of displaying component video signals. Firstly, a component video signal is received, and a vertical synchronous signal and a horizontal synchronous signal are separated from the component video signal. Thereafter, the format of the component video signal is determined by analyzing the vertical synchronous signal and the horizontal synchronous signal, and a video processing route corresponding to the format of the component video signal is chosen to generate visual output from the component video signal. Thus the visual output is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Delta Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Chien-Ken Chang, Chung-Yi Yang, Chun-Hao Lee, Bao-Kim Liu

Publication number: 20070091279Abstract: A projection display apparatus and method of preventing from inadvertently inputting command thereof are provided for preventing users from inadvertently inputting the command to shut down a discharge lamp of the projection display apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: preparing to enter a determination mode when a projection display apparatus receives a activation signal; displaying the predetermined delay time on a screen of the projection display apparatus and down counting such delay time; determining whether a confirmation signal is received during the delay time; and shutting down the discharge lamp when the project display apparatus receives the confirmation signal. If the projection display apparatus fails to receive the confirmation signal or receive other signals during the delay time, the projection display apparatus will return to the normal display mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2005Publication date: April 26, 2007Inventors: Chien-Ken Chang, Chun-Hao Lee, Jung-Yi Yang, Bao-Kim Liu
