  • Publication number: 20170337900
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for wireless user interface projection for vehicles are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a mobile device, a wireless signal transmitted by a processing unit of a vehicle that includes a screen, the wireless signal including an identifier for the processing unit. The actions further include determining that the identifier corresponds to a trusted processing unit to which the mobile device is configured to provide projected UI information. The actions further include automatically establishing a wireless connection between the mobile device and the processing unit that is associated with the identifier. The actions further include automatically providing, by the mobile device, projected UI information to the processing unit for display on the screen of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7676014
    Abstract: A digital lock detector for a phase-locked loop. The PLL generates a feedback clock according to a reference clock. The digital lock detector includes a match detector and an arbiter. When a first clock transitions, the match detector checks that whether a second clock transitions in a predetermined time window or not. The match detector generates a match signal if the second clock transitions in the predetermined time window. The arbiter counts a number of the successive match signals and generates a lock signal to indicate a lock state when the number exceeds a first predetermined number.

  • Patent number: 7471131
    Abstract: A delay locked loop circuit for delaying an input clock to lock a delay clock. The delay locked loop includes a frequency divider for dividing a frequency of the input clock by a number N to obtain a frequency-divided clock, a plurality of delay components for delaying the input clock to generate a plurality of delay clocks with different phase according to a count value, a phase detector coupled to a final delay components for detecting a phase transition between a final delay clock and the input clock, and a counter coupled to the phase detector and the frequency divider for generating the count value according to the phase transition between the final delay clock and the input clock.

  • Patent number: 7471285
    Abstract: A combined transmission unit for TMDS signals and LVDS signals. A first (LVDS) transmission unit comprises a set of first input terminals to receive first data, and a second (TMDS) transmission unit comprises a set of second input terminals to receive second data. A switching controller enables the first transmission unit to transmit the first data to the first external input units through a pair of signal lines coupled to a set of common output line or enables the second transmission unit to transmit the second data to the second external input units through a pair of signal lines coupled to the set of common output line, according to a mode selection signal.

  • Patent number: 7228116
    Abstract: A combined transmission unit for TMDS signals and LVDS signals. A first (LVDS) transmission unit includes a set of first input terminals to receive first data, and a second (TMDS) transmission unit includes a set of second input terminals to receive second data. A phase locked loop (PLL) generates a first set of output clock signals to the first transmission unit in a first mode and a second set of output clock signals to the second transmission unit in a second mode according to a mode selection signal. The first and second transmission units are able to transmit the first data to the first and second external input units in the first and second modes respectively, according to the mode selection signal and the first and second sets of output clock signals.
