  • Publication number: 20200267808
    Abstract: A driver for driving a load unit includes a conversion circuit, a bypass circuit and control circuit. The conversion circuit is configured for converting an input voltage into an output voltage, in which the load unit is coupled to the conversion circuit to receive the output voltage and an output current. The bypass circuit is electrically coupled to the conversion circuit and the load unit. The control circuit controls the output current to flow through the load unit to drive the load unit in a driving mode. The control circuit controls the output current to flow through the bypass circuit in a standby mode, in which the output current in the standby mode is lower than the output current in the driving mode.

  • Patent number: 10649555
    Abstract: An input interface device includes a sensing panel, a touch sensor, an auxiliary sensor and a processor. The touch sensor is configured to detect a first touch event located in a first area of the sensing panel, and detect a second touch event located in a second area of the sensing panel. The first area and the second area are separated by a first boundary defined across the sensing panel. The auxiliary sensor is configured to detect a first environmental parameter. The processor is configured to determine whether the first boundary needs to be adjusted or not according to the first environmental parameter. The processor is also configured to selectively adjust the first boundary according to the first touch event and the second touch event, and the first boundary after adjustment is utilized to separate the first area and the second area.

  • Patent number: 10459544
    Abstract: An electronic system includes a hand-held controller and a computing application. The hand-held controller includes a proximity sensing circuit and a physical information sensing circuit. The proximity sensing circuit includes proximity sensors. The proximity sensors are configured to sense instant proximity values. The physical information sensing circuit is configured to sense a physical parameter. The computing application is executed by a processor. The computing application is configured to retrieve the instant proximity values and the physical parameter, to calculate maximum proximity values or minimum proximity values according to the instant proximity values and the physical parameter. The maximum proximity values or the minimum proximity values are utilized to update threshold proximity values of the proximity sensors in determining near status or far status.
