  • Publication number: 20240118862
    Abstract: A computer system and a processing method thereof of sound signal are provided. The computer system includes a platform path controller (PCH), a high-definition audio (HDA) codec, and a digital microphone. The HDA codec is coupled to the PCH. The digital microphone is coupled to the PCH and the HDA codec. The digital microphone is used to generate sound signal. The HDA codec processes the sound signal from the digital microphone. Accordingly, the audio recording with high quality could be provided.

  • Publication number: 20240098183
    Abstract: A marking method on image combined with sound signal, a terminal apparatus, and a server are provided. In the method, a first image is displayed. A selection command is detected. A target sound signal is embedded into a speech signal so as to generate a combined sound signal. The combined sound signal is transmitted. The selection command corresponds to a target region in the first image, and the selection command is generated selecting the target region through an input operation. The target sound signal corresponds to the target region of the selection command, and the speech signal is obtained by receiving sound. Accordingly, all attendants in the video conference are able to make makings on a shared screen.

  • Publication number: 20240072736
    Abstract: An amplifier DC bias protection circuit includes an amplifier module, a filter module and a comparator module. The amplifier module converts an input signal into a non-inverting signal and an inverting signal. The filter module blocks AC signals in the non-inverting signal and the inverting signal, thereby providing a first DC bias signal and a second DC bias signal accordingly. The comparator module is configured to determine whether the absolute value of a DC bias difference signal is greater than a predetermined value, and output a determination signal for deactivating the amplifier module when the absolute value of the DC bias difference signal is greater than the predetermined value. The DC bias difference signal is associated with the voltage difference between the first DC bias signal and the second DC bias signal.

  • Publication number: 20080126018
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for constructing an object by stacking up functional features thereof. The present invention is also exemplified with a drawing die. Functional features and their main control parameters can be identified through functional analysis, functional decomposition and geometric analysis. In the present invention, a design knowledge base, a functional feature library, a functional feature module and a graphic user interface can be utilized optionally. Moreover, the present invention can be implemented on the Windows XP system through a commercial CAD software and an API.
