  • Patent number: 7325733
    Abstract: If a USB device is turned off or is not active, the device may be electrically disconnected from a USB host controller. The device may be electrically disconnected through a physical interface on the device. In some embodiments, if the device becomes active during a wait period (e.g., 2-3 seconds) prior to electrically disconnecting the device, the device may not be electrically disconnected. In some embodiments, when the device is electrically disconnected from the USB host controller and no system activity of a bus mastering peripheral is occurring, the CPU may enter a low power state if other conditions are met. In some embodiments, if the USB device becomes active after electrically disconnecting, the electrical disconnection may be discontinued.

  • Patent number: 6873904
    Abstract: A driver assist information providing system includes a driver assist information transmitter and a driver assist information receiver. In the driver assist information transmitter, driver assist information having positional information and multimedia information are generated to each element of real time information by a driver assist information generator. After coding and compacting by a coded data compactor, an event constructed by an event module constitutor is broadcasted by a transmitter as a modulated event. In the driver assist information receiver, the driver assist information is obtained through the demodulation by an event module demodulator and decompression and decoding by a driver assist information obtainer. Then, the driver assist information to be required is selected by the driver assist information obtainer using positional information obtained by a current position obtainer, and is indicated on a display device.
