  • Patent number: 10937445
    Abstract: A device for providing an alert for an event, the device includes a microphone to receive ambient sounds external to the device and a processor and memory to analyze the ambient sounds received by the microphone wherein, based on a priority level assigned to a type of audiovisual media being played on the device, the processor selectively activates a pass thru mode of the device in response to determining that one of the ambient sounds matches a trigger sound, the pass thru mode providing the alert for the event by interrupting the audiovisual media being played on the device such that the ambient sounds can be heard by the user.

  • Publication number: 20210035481
    Abstract: A display device includes pixels, a serial-to-parallel converter (SPC), a row driver, a column driver, and a switch. The pixels are arranged in rows and columns which include a first column and a first row. A first pixel resides at an intersection of the first row and first column. The SPC extracts, from a signal sent by a graphics controller, pixel data and a command. The row driver initiates a refresh of the pixels residing in the first row based on the pixel data. The column driver transmits the pixel data to the first column. During the refresh, the switch allows transmission of the pixel data to the first pixel when the command indicates that the first pixel is to be refreshed and prevents transmission of pixel data to the first pixel when the command indicates that the first pixel is not to be refreshed.
