Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client on a communication channel, with the use of a packet structure linked together, for the sake of forming communication protocols used for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control data and digital presentation data. SOLUTION: Signal protocols are structured so as to produce, transmit and receive packets for forming communication protocols and then form digital data into one or more types of data packets. At least one is resident in a host device to be used by a link controller linked with the client through the communication channel. The interface comes to act as a highly-cost-effective, low-power-consuming, bidirectional, and high-speed data transferring mechanism in a short-"serial"-type data link. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data digital interface for transferring digital data between a host device and a client device at high speed. SOLUTION: A data interface is for transferring the digital data between a host 202 and a client 204 over a communication path using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control data and digital presentation data. A signal protocol is used by link controllers which are configured to generate, transmit, and receive a packet forming the communication protocol and to form the digital data into one or more types of data packets. At least one link controller resides always at the host device. The link controllers are coupled to the client 204 through the communication path, The interface provides a cost-effective, low power, bi-directional, and high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range "serial" type data link.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for implementing cyclic redundancy checks to improve link initialization processing and to exchange system error information. SOLUTION: There is provided a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checker that includes a unique pattern detector, a CRC generator, a CRC initializer and a CRC verifier. The CRC checker prepopulates the CRC generator for a unique pattern. Upon receipt of the unique pattern within a data stream received over a digital transmission link, the CRC checker proceeds to check CRCs without the need to queue and store data. In another aspect, a CRC generator system is provided that intentionally corrupts CRC values to transmit system error information. The CRC generator system includes a CRC generator 910, a CRC corrupter 920, an error detector 930 and an error value generator 940. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and systems for updating a buffer. SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for updating a buffer, the method including: strategically writing to the buffer to enable concurrent read and write to the buffer. The method eliminates the need for double buffering, thereby resulting in implementation cost and space savings compared to conventional buffering approaches. The method also prevents image tearing when used to update a frame buffer associated with a display, but is not limited to such applications. The present invention provides efficient mechanisms to enable buffer update across a communication link. The present invention provides a method for relaying timing information across a communication link. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize the execution of commands transmitted by a baseband processor to a device such as a camera, through MDDI (Mobile Display Digital Interface). SOLUTION: The method includes: generating a plurality of commands at a first module; transmitting the commands through a communication link to a second module; and associating the execution time of the commands with an independent event at the second module. When the independent event is detected, the commands are executed synchronously at the second module. The method can be specifically applied to the baseband processor in which a processor and a camera interface module 118 are connected through an MDDI link and which controls the camera through a camera module interface. An example of the baseband processor that controls the camera through a pathfinder camera module interface is described. Specific built-in mechanisms of the camera module interface that enable flexible implementation of the method are also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new transfer mechanism for increasing the data throughput between a host device and a client display device, or between elements. SOLUTION: An apparatus is configured to generate, transmit and receive a packet which forms a communication protocol, and to form digital data in one or more types of data packets. At least one resides in the host device permanently, and a signal protocol is used by a link controller which is combined with a client through a communication path. An interface provides cost-efficient, low power, bidirectional and a high-speed data transfer mechanism on a short distance "serial" type data link and is suitable for implementation with a useful small connector and a thin flexible cable, especially, when a display element like a wearable micro display for a portable computer or a radio communication device is to be connected.
