Abstract: A method for counting coughs is provided. The method includes acquiring a plurality of onset signals from the sound signal, wherein the onset signal has a predetermined time length; acquiring a plurality of spectrograms corresponding to each of the plurality of onset signals; determining whether each of the acquired plurality of spectrograms represents a cough using a cough determination model; and calculating a number of coughs included in the sound signal based on a time point of a cough signal. The cough signal is an onset signal corresponding to one spectrogram determined to represent the cough. When a time interval between a first time point of a first cough signal and a second time point of a second cough is within a reference time interval, the first cough signal and the second cough signal are regarded as one cough signal at the first time point.

Abstract: An operating method of a semiconductor device includes monitoring multiple request packets and multiple response packets that are being transmitted between a master device and a slave device. A target request packet that matches predefined identification (ID) information is detected from among the request packets. An operation of a latency counter is initiated. The operation is for measuring the latency of a communication exchange (transaction) that includes the target request packet and a target response packet that is one of the response packets that matches the predefined ID information. The target response packet is detected from among the response packets. The operation of the latency counter is terminated. A latency value of the communication exchange is acquired from the latency counter.
