  • Patent number: 9043500
    Abstract: An electronic data tablet has a controller and transition manager. The controller is to store in a memory of the tablet virtual configuration space information for a peripheral device of a computer, and the transition manager is to control the controller to operate in a first mode and a second mode. The virtual configuration space information is stored in the tablet memory when the first mode is to be switched to the second mode. When the second mode is switched to the first mode, the virtual configuration space information is accessed to control recognition of the peripheral device of the computer without performing a re-scanning operation.

  • Publication number: 20080238856
    Abstract: A method of adjusting the display of data oh a flat panel display may include ascertaining color value information and spatial distribution information for pixels in an image. A desired image adjustment and a desired backlight adjustment may be determined based on both the color value information and spatial distribution information. The method may also include adjusting color values of at least some pixels in the image based on the desired image adjustment and controlling a backlight intensity based on the desired backlight adjustment.

  • Publication number: 20070070258
    Abstract: An apparatus which switches between video display modes, including a display panel having multiple display pixels formed in a matrix; a display controller coupled to the display panel and including a detector to detect a phase differential between received timing signals and output a synchronous determination signal, and a control signal generator coupled to the detector, the control signal generator to generate a first set of control signals corresponding to a first driving mode or a second set of control signals corresponding to a second driving mode in accordance with the synchronous determination signal, the first set of control signals to cause the display panel to display images in accordance with the first driving mode using a first set of selected display pixels, and the second set of control signals to cause the display panel to display images in accordance with the second driving mode using a second set of selected display pixels, with the second set having a number of selected display pixels differ
