Standard Interface System Between Different Lcd Panels And A Common Frame Buffer Output
View pageUS Patent:
59696966, Oct 19, 1999
Filed:
Nov 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/558923
Inventors:
Donald Stoye - Santa Clara CA
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G09G 500
US Classification:
345 1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an interface for a computer system that can drive several different display systems. The interface of the present invention consists of power signals, ground signals, sense signals, programmable signals, and a few miscellaneous signals. The sense signals are driven by each display system that is designed to operate with the interface of the present invention. Each display system drives the sense signals with a code that uniquely identifies the display system. The interface is self-configuring such that the computer system reads the unique code output on the sense signals and correspondingly outputs the proper display information on the programmable signals to drive the display system connected to the interface.
Modified Universal Serial Bus Interface Implementing Remote Power Up While Permitting Normal Remote Power Down

57678448, Jun 16, 1998
Filed:
Feb 29, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/608705
Inventors:
Donald A. Stoye - Santa Clara CA
Assignee:
Sun Microsystems Inc - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G09G 500
US Classification:
345212
Abstract:
A remote power key function is implemented between a remote input device having a power key and a host computer system using a four lead USB interface. Normal functioning of the USB interface and of the input device are not affected. An input device includes a remote logic circuit comprising a transistor, a diode, and a low voltage battery. The remote logic circuit and MPU receive a first input from the power key and battery and receives a second input from the host-computer provided power supply that is "1" if the host computer is powered-up, and is "0" otherwise. Remote logic circuit output is coupled to the D+ USB interface line, and MPU output is coupled to the D+ and D- interface lines. Clamping latch logic within the host computer has a first input that is the D+ line, and a second input that is the power supply "1" or "0" signal. Latch logic output is input to the latch input port of the host computer power supply.
