  • Patent number: 11038704
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein can be used to improve the control, selection and transmission of data to a remote video conferencing environment, by use of a plurality of wired or wirelessly connected electronic devices. In one example, the transmission of data from a local environment can be improved by switching the source of visual inputs (e.g., cameras or display of an electronic device, such as laptop) and/or audio inputs (e.g., microphones) to the one or more appropriate visual and audio sources available within the local environment. The most appropriate visual and audio sources can be the sources that provide the participants in the remote environment the most relevant data giving the remote users the best understanding of the current activities in the local environment.

  • Patent number: 10915360
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a resource processing method, an apparatus, and a terminal. The method includes: receiving, by a first terminal, a first message simultaneously sent by each of at least one second terminal, where the first message is carried on N resources and used to indicate location information of resources on which to-be-sent data is located, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and determining, by the first terminal based on the location information of the resources on which the to-be-sent data is located, resources used by the first terminal to send data. Because the first message is carried on the N resources, a probability of collision of the resources used by the second terminal to send the first message is very low.

  • Patent number: 10896276
    Abstract: Disclosed are a timing estimation method and a simulator. The method is applied to a function verification model. In the method, the model issues a first access issue at a first time point; receives a first response to the first access issue from the bus at a second time point; calculates a delay time between the first and second time points; determines whether the delay time is longer than or substantially equal to a transmission time corresponding to the first access issue; issues a second access issue if yes; and issues the second access issue in a compensation time counting from the second time point if not. The compensation time is not longer than the difference between the transmission time and the delay time.

  • Publication number: 20200352004
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system. A controller of the lighting control system causes a phase change cut to be applied to an AC power signal to signal to a light bulb apparatus connected to a luminaire a request to self identify. The encoded phase changed AC power signal is transmitted to the light bulb apparatus for a predetermined time period. A response signal received from the light bulb in response to receipt of the encoded phase changed AC power signal by the light bulb is detected at the lighting control system. A bulb identification is determined based on the response signal from the light bulb apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10701527
    Abstract: A multicast transmission method is disclosed. A base station of a first cell obtains first multicast resource information of at least one second cell, where the base station of the first cell is different from a base station of each second cell; and the base station of the first cell sends second multicast resource information to user equipment, where the second multicast resource information is used to indicate a resource configuration used by each second cell to transmit multicast service data. The base station of the first cell actively sends obtained multicast resource information to the user equipment in a broadcast manner. In this way, the base station of the first cell does not need to configure, in a unicast manner for each user equipment, a resource location for sending/reading the multicast service data of each second cell, thereby reducing signaling overheads.
