Wen-Hsu Huang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6993670
    Abstract: A method of configuring a computer system capable of being woken up on a LAN A core power is actuated for an interval by performing a Pre-Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (Pre-ACPI) routine. Next, a PCI clock signal is retrieved in the fixed interval and then an Ethernet ID is loaded using the PCI clock signal, so as to set a south bridge to a standby mode capable of receiving a wake-up event. As a result, use of an oscillator in conventional methods can be reduced, and the computer system can be configured to be capable of being woken-up on LAN, without requiring the start-up procedure, so that the computer system may be awoken on the LAN even after an abnormal shutdown.

    Abstract: A method of configuring a computer system capable of being woken up on LAN is disclosed. The method firstly actuates a core power for an interval by performing a Pre-Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (Pre-ACPI) routine. Next, the method retrieves a PCI clock signal in the fixed interval and then loads an Ethernet ID using the PCI clock signal, so as to set a south bridge to a standby mode capable of receiving a wake-up event. The invention can reduce an oscillator used in the conventional methods, and be capable of being woken-up on LAN without requiring the start-up procedure. And the invention can further solve the problem associated with the conventional methods, wherein an abnormal shutdown renders the computer system incapable of being woken up on LAN.

  • Patent number: 6483338
    Abstract: A method and system of testing a chip for testing a circuit module in the chip. The system is integrated into the chip. The reference clock and the test command are sent to the testing system serially. The testing system, in response to the test command, performs test actions on the circuit module, producing a test result. The test result is serially sent to the test machine.
