Abstract:
A portable device and a method for entering a power-saving mode are provided. An audio signal is transmitted to an earphone via a cable. At least one electrical characteristic on the cable is sensed to generate at least one sensing signal. The at least one sensing signal is sampled to generate at least one data signal. Whether the earphone is in listening position is determined according to the at least one data signal. When it is determined that the earphone is not in listening position, the portable device enters a power-saving mode.
Abstract:
A portable device and a method for entering a power-saving mode are provided. Audio stream is generated by an audio player, and an audio signal is generated according to the audio stream and then transmitted to an earphone via a cable by a digital-analog converter. At least one electrical characteristic on the cable is sensed to generate at least one sensing signal. The at least one sensing signal is sampled to generate at least one data signal. Whether the earphone is inserted into an ear canal is determined according to the at least one data signal. For determining whether the earphone is inserted into the ear canal, an impedance frequency response related to the earphone is obtained according to the at least one data signal, and whether the earphone is inserted into the ear canal is determined according to a characteristic of peaks of the impedance frequency response.
Abstract:
A processing system has a keyword recognition sub-system and a direct memory access (DMA) controller. The keyword recognition sub-system has a processor and a local memory device. The processor performs at least keyword recognition. The local memory device is accessible to the processor and is arranged to buffer at least data needed by the keyword recognition. The DMA controller interfaces between the local memory device of the keyword recognition sub-system and an external memory device, and is arranged to perform DMA data transaction between the local memory device and the external memory device.
Abstract:
An active noise control system and associated auto-selection method for modeling a secondary path for the active noise control system are provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a reference signal; filtering the reference signal with a secondary-path estimation filter to obtain a filtered reference signal, wherein the secondary path estimation filter is determined from a plurality of candidate secondary-path estimation filters; filtering the reference signal with an adaptive filter to provide a compensation signal; sensing a residual noise signal at a listening position of the active noise control system; and adapting filter coefficients of the adaptive filter according to the residual noise signal and the filtered reference signal.
Abstract:
A timing control method for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications system, including: obtaining a starting time of a data transmission period from information of a data transmission timing received from a base station of a wireless network; obtaining a starting time of a current data processing period; and adjusting a data processing timing so that the adjusted starting time of the current data processing period is ahead of the starting time of the data transmission period by a predetermined time.
