  • Publication number: 20250201160
    Abstract: This application provides a display method and an apparatus. The display method includes: determining that a refresh rate of an electronic device is switched from a first refresh rate to a second refresh rate, where the first refresh rate is greater than the second refresh rate; generating, in a case that the refresh rate is switched from the first refresh rate to the second refresh rate, a second image frame after the electronic device completes display of a first image frame; and displaying the second image frame. An objective is to resolve a frame loss problem caused by switching from a high refresh rate to a low refresh rate, to reduce lag in the electronic device, and improve user experience.

  • Patent number: 12276539
    Abstract: A method and device are provided for diagnosing a weighing system. In the method, the weighing system acquires an intrinsic parameter, a status parameter, and an operating parameter of various components of the weighing system, environmental parameters of the weighing system application, and communication data and interaction data among all the components. A first-level prompt is sent when the status of any of the components is abnormal, such that the system stops operating. A second-level prompt is sent when the status of each of the components is normal and the service life status of at least one of the components reaches a preset threshold. A third-level prompt is sent when the status of each of the components is normal and a system performance abnormality event is identified for the performance status of the system. A fourth-level prompt is sent when the status of each of the components is normal.

  • Patent number: 12254828
    Abstract: A method for controlling dynamic change of a screen refresh rate and an electronic device are provided. In a scenario of dynamic change of the refresh rate, a refresh rate switching instruction may be sent immediately through an added refresh rate setting interface (displaySetFps) within a current ith frame period before a current Vsync periodicity ends. After receiving the refresh rate switching instruction, a DDIC drives a display screen to switch a screen refresh rate, and then the DDIC returns a new TE signal. After receiving the new TE signal, SurfaceFlinger starts a new Vsync periodicity corresponding to a switched screen refresh rate. In an embodiment of this application, a switching speed at which the screen refresh rate is switched may be increased by adding a new path. For example, it may be ensured that each switching of the screen refresh rate is completed within one frame.

  • Patent number: 11445341
    Abstract: A dynamic weighing device has a plurality of weighing sensors that constitute a weighing sensor network via Ethernet. One of the weighing sensors is selected as a primary node, which performs time synchronization with the other nodes via a time synchronization protocol. Alternatively, the other nodes synchronize a time offset relative to the time of the primary node. Each weighing sensor continuously packetizes and sends a plurality of consecutive pieces of weighing information to a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus calculates a weighed weight result of the dynamic weighing device at the same moment, based on time information in the weighing information obtained through depacketization, In such a weighing sensor network, by means of the time synchronization, weighing data at each moment is accurate when the weighing data is processed on a terminal such as a meter, thereby improving the reliability of sampling.
