Publication number: 20170337900Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Simon Dai, Joseph Pieter Stefanus van Grieken, Zhen Yu Song

Patent number: 7676014Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Via Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yongcong Chen, Raymond Xu, Zhen-Yu Song, Ken-Ming Li

Patent number: 7228116Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2004Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Via Technologies Inc.Inventors: Yu-Feng Cheng, Wen-Bo Liu, Ken-Ming Li, Vai-Hang Au, Zhen-Yu Song
