Abstract: A method of reducing gray energy consumption and achieving optimal gray energy saving for carbon neutralization is proposed. In a cellular network, each cell or BS (group of cells) has renewable (green) and non-renewable (gray, on-grid power) energy sources. The renewable (green) energy is highly variable and unpredictable, while non-renewable (gray, on-grid power) is stable but is not renewable and thus has more carbon impact. Each cell or BS (group of cells) services is associated UEs when it is on. In one novel aspect, a cell or BS (group of cells) that consumes more non-renewable energy can give some or all of its served UEs to another cell or BS (group of cells) that consumes less non-renewable energy.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the working frequency of a chip is provided. The method detects a frequency adjustment range of a graphic chip when a system is booted. Then, an application program in full screen mode is executed, and a control hot key is enabled. Afterwards, an input of the control hot key is received to display a user interface. Finally, an input frequency inputted from the user interface is received, and the working frequency of the graphic chip is adjusted according to the input frequency in the frequency adjustment range. Therefore, even though the application program is executed in full screen mode, the working frequency of the graphic chip can still be adjusted according to requirements in any time, which is convenient for the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for capturing full-screen frames, which are displayed by a display unit having a first display buffer and a second display buffer, in real time. The display unit selects one of the first and second display buffers as a front buffer for displaying the full-screen frames. The apparatus includes a capture unit, and a display driver unit for driving the display unit. When data in the front buffer is updated, the display driver unit generates image data and saves the image data in a temporary buffer. Then, the display driver unit copies the image data to a share buffer. The capture unit reads the image data from the share buffer and generates a video bitstream accordingly.

Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting the brightness of an image is provided. In the method, a plurality of first pixel values of pixels in a captured display image are converted to a plurality of first brightness values when an application program is executed with a full screen picture. Then, the size and the distribution of the first brightness values are adjusted to obtain a plurality of second brightness values. Afterward, the second brightness values are converted to a plurality of second pixel values with which the pixels of the display image and displayed on the screen are overwritten. Therefore, the brightness of each display image can be dynamically adjusted, which is convenient.
