  • Patent number: 11770583
    Abstract: A power-saving method for an HDMI device is provided. The method includes detecting color depth information of video data from an HDMI source which is connected to the HDMI port, deriving a horizontal length for each line by fragment of a picture frame according to the color depth information, generating a plurality of synchronization signals according to the horizontal length for each line by fragment, and powering on the HDMI port, according to the synchronization signals, for a predetermined time period to obtain encrypted information from the HDMI source, and powering off the HDMI port after the predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 11205401
    Abstract: A power-saving method for switching High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) ports on a sink device is provided. The sink device has a first HDMI port initially being enabled for displaying and a second HDMI port being disabled for displaying. The power-saving method includes the steps of using the reference signals to locate the VSYNC active edge in each frame generated by a source device connected to the second HDMI port; turning on the power to the second HDMI port during a power-on region corresponding to the VSYNC active edge in each frame and turning off power otherwise; obtaining information related to a high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) in the power-on region; and displaying video data from the source device based on the HDCP information when enabling the second HDMI port connected to the source device.

  • Patent number: 11165539
    Abstract: A word boundary detection method includes receiving a data stream from a data channel of a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), and performing pattern matching upon the data stream to identify a word boundary between two consecutive codewords transmitted via the data stream. Known codewords of scrambled control vectors are involved in the pattern matching.

  • Patent number: 10368116
    Abstract: A roll-off parameter determining module disposed at a receiving terminal is provided. The receiving terminal receives first roll-off information of a first frame and second roll-off information of a second frame. The first frame is adjacent to the second frame. The module for determining a roll-off parameter includes: a register unit; a first determining unit, determining whether one of the first roll-off information and the second roll-off information includes a first data type, and generating a first roll-off parameter indicator; a second determining unit, determining whether one of the first roll-off information and the second roll-off information includes a second data type and outputting a second roll-off parameter indicator; and a look-up table (LUT) unit, looking up an LUT according to the first roll-off parameter indicator and a second roll-off parameter indicator to output a roll-off parameter.
