  • Patent number: 11244222
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence-enabled device that handles delivery of user consumable information independent of network connectivity of the AI-enabled device, includes a memory and neural circuitry. The neural circuitry allocates a dedicated cache storage and determines a type of intelligent service on the AI-enabled device, for which first information is to be cached at the dedicated cache storage. The neural circuitry caches first information from a cloud server to a local sub-cache in the dedicated cache storage. The first information of the determined type of service is adaptively cached during at least one of a background activity or a foreground activity of the AI-enabled device, in accordance with an offline state or an online state of the AI-enabled device. The neural circuitry further controls delivery of user consumable information, based on a user input, on the AI-enabled device, based on the local sub-cache and supplemental information retrievable from the cloud server.

  • Patent number: 10114437
    Abstract: A portable device is provided. A first processor performs an initial procedure according to an operation clock with a first frequency value and an operation voltage with a first voltage value, and performs a calibration procedure according to the operation clock with a second frequency value and the operation voltage with a second voltage value when the initial procedure has been performed and a self-calibration event is present. A second processor detects whether a specific function of the calibration procedure is being performed by the first processor. The second processor stores the second frequency value and the second voltage value into a storage unit after the calibration procedure is performed. The second voltage value is lower than the first voltage value, and the second frequency value is lower than the first frequency value.
