  • Patent number: 12265752
    Abstract: In an example, a first electronic device establishes a connection to a second electronic device. The second electronic device projects first projection data to the first electronic device; and when a distance between a third electronic device and the second electronic device is less than or equal to a preset distance, the second electronic device sends notification information to the third electronic device, where the notification information indicates that the second electronic device is performing screen projection. The third electronic device sends second projection data to the second electronic device in response to receiving the notification information. In response to receiving the second projection data, the second electronic device projects the first projection data and the second projection data to the first electronic device based on orientation information between the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12259618
    Abstract: A display panel and a display module are provided. The display panel includes a non-display area, a central display area, and a peripheral display area arranged between the two areas. A counterpart substrate is arranged opposite to an array substrate, with a liquid crystal layer positioned between the array substrate and the counterpart substrate. A meta-surface structure layer of the counterpart substrate is arranged in the peripheral display area. Light emitted from the peripheral display area is at least partially deflected by the meta-surface structure layer and then emerges from the non-display area. The meta-surface structure layer in the peripheral display area alters the propagation path of light, allowing at least part of the light emitted from the peripheral display area to enter the non-display area. This approach overcomes the limitations imposed by a frame, enlarges the display area of the display panel, and achieves a narrow-frame display panel.

  • Patent number: 12190786
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods to synchronize adaptive luminance and color controls of multiple displays. The displays are included in ambient light sensor (ALS) cluster that includes ALS equipped and non ALS equipped displays. An ALS equipped display is designed as primary display and the other displays are designed as follower displays. ALS equipped displays collect ALS readings which are used to determine luminance and color tone/Correlated Color Temperature (CCT). The determined luminance and CCT are arbitrated, and the arbitrated luminance and CCT are provided to the displays for use. The displays can be daisy chained, and the primary display collects, arbitrates, and provides the luminance and CCT. In certain implementations, an IHS (i.e., software on the IHS) collects, arbitrates, and provides the luminance and CCT.

  • Patent number: 11947860
    Abstract: The techniques described herein improve user interface consistency when presenting a guest application running on a guest operating system as if it were a native application running on a host operating system. Specifically, window placement limitations imposed by the guest operating system are overcome by coordinating size and location between the guest application and a host proxy application. When the proxy application is confined to a single display, the size and location of the guest application and corresponding proxy application are synchronized. When the proxy application is moved or resized so as to be rendered on multiple displays, the application hosting engine decouples the location synchronization, leaving the guest application within a single display. Before being forwarded to the guest application, user interface events received by the proxy application are adjusted according to the different locations of the guest application and the proxy application.

  • Patent number: 11874721
    Abstract: A method of operating a hardware accelerator comprises: implementing a multi-layer neural network using the hardware accelerator; measuring a power consumption of the hardware accelerator while executing a predefined operation on the multi-layer network at a default clock frequency; evaluating one or more power management criteria for the measured power consumption; and, in response to exceeding one of the power management criteria, deciding to reduce the clock frequency relative to the default clock frequency. In the step of measuring a power consumption of the hardware accelerator, per-layer measurements which each relate to fewer than all layers of the neural network may be captured.

  • Patent number: 11823649
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for data transfer in LED display. A signal signaling a timing for a next data transfer is received. In response to the signal, a next data transfer instruction is obtained that instructs reading a bit-based image block of an image from a memory. The bit-based image block is transferred, according to the next data transfer instruction, from the memory via a bus connected thereto, to one of a pair of alternate buffers pointed to by a write buffer pointer. Then, the write buffer pointer is toggled to point to another of the pair of alternate buffers and the process repeats. The bit-based image blocks alternately stored in the buffers are later retrieved and displayed on the LED display.

    Abstract: Semiconductor wafer devices are formed of a wafer or a portion of a wafer. The wafer or wafer portion includes a plurality of functional blocks, one of which comprises an energy source and another which takes some other form, such as digital logic, data storage, a communication module, a display, a display driver, or a sensor. A functional block may be formed as part of processing of the wafer or may comprise a post-processing element. The functional blocks combine to provide an operational system having a plurality of functions. The wafer may be formed of an amorphous material, allowing the device to have a three-dimensional, non-planar structure, such as a cuboidal or tubular structure. If the device comprises only a portion of a wafer, a plurality of devices may be formed from a single wafer, with each portion being removed from the remainder of the wafer to define a device.

  • Patent number: 11699408
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing asynchronous memory clock changes on multiple displays are disclosed. From time to time, a memory clock frequency change is desired for a memory subsystem storing frame buffer(s) used to drive pixels to multiple displays. For example, when the real-time memory bandwidth demand differs from the memory bandwidth available with the existing memory clock frequency, a control unit tracks the vertical blanking interval (VBI) timing of a first display. Also, the control unit causes a second display to enter into panel self-refresh (PSR) mode. Once the PSR mode of the second display overlaps with a VBI of the first display, a memory clock frequency change, including memory training, is initiated. After the memory clock frequency change, the displays are driven by the frame buffer(s) in the memory subsystem at an updated frequency.
