  • Patent number: 10242613
    Abstract: A method for driving a display panel, a display panel, and a display device are provided, where in a first operating mode, a gate driver circuit is controlled for each image frame to output a scan signal to N rows of gate lines on the display panel sequentially in a preset scan direction to thereby display throughout a screen; and in a second operating mode, the gate driver circuit is controlled for each image frame to output a scan signal to m adjacent rows of gate lines on the display panel sequentially in the preset scan direction to thereby display only in an area corresponding to the m adjacent rows of gate lines without scanning the gate lines in an area in which no image may be displayed, so as to lower power consumption of the display panel operating in the second operating mode.

  • Publication number: 20190026744
    Abstract: The present application discloses methods and devices for providing risk information. A risk factor corresponding to a risk control decision result of a service that matches service data for a corresponding risk factor is determined. The risk factors are associated with risk control rules and a risk control model identifying relationships between risk factors and risk control decision results. A risk information set corresponding to the risk factor is determined that includes levels of risk information having different refinement degrees and including information explaining a cause of the risk control decision result. The levels of risk information are determined from the levels of risk information based on a risk information requirement level of a service owner of the service. The levels of risk information have refinement degrees matching the risk information requirement level of the service owner. The levels of risk information are provided to the service owner.

  • Patent number: 9825650
    Abstract: This invention provides a cyclically-coupled (CC-) quasi-cyclic (QC-) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code and its decoder architecture. The essence of the invention is to introduce the convolutional nature to a plurality of individual block codes internally so as to form a resultant block code with a prolonged code length while slightly increasing the hardware complexity in decoder realization. The CC-QC-LDPC code is formed by cyclically coupling a plurality of sub-codes each being a QC-LDPC code such that overlapping of some variable nodes between two consecutive sub-codes results. The decoder comprises plural sub-decoders each configured to decode the channel messages for one sub-code. The sub-decoders are arranged in a ring shape such that an individual sub-decoder is configured to communicate edge messages with two neighboring sub-decoders adjacent to said individual sub-decoder in the decoding of the channel messages.
