ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING MULTI-EDID READ OPERATION AND OPERATING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18088897 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING MULTI-EDID READ OPERATION AND OPERATING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes an operating method for an electronic device that communicates with a source device through a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI). The method involves determining whether the source device supports a multi-extended display identification data (EDID) read operation through a display data channel (DDC). If supported, the method sequentially transmits an EDID set stored in a non-volatile memory to the source device using an EDID group corresponding to the size of a cache memory as a transmission unit.

  • The patent application describes an operating method for electronic devices that communicate through HDMI.
  • The method checks if the source device supports multi-extended EDID read operation through DDC.
  • If supported, the method transmits an EDID set from non-volatile memory to the source device.
  • The transmission is done in sequential EDID groups based on the size of the cache memory.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in various electronic devices that communicate through HDMI, such as televisions, monitors, projectors, and gaming consoles.
  • It can improve the compatibility and communication between source devices and electronic devices by ensuring the correct transmission of EDID data.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of compatibility between source devices and electronic devices by determining if the source device supports multi-extended EDID read operation.
  • It solves the problem of incorrect transmission of EDID data by sequentially transmitting the EDID set based on the size of the cache memory.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved compatibility between source devices and electronic devices, leading to better communication and functionality.
  • Correct transmission of EDID data ensures that electronic devices receive accurate information about the capabilities and characteristics of the source device.
  • Sequential transmission of EDID groups based on cache memory size optimizes the data transfer process, improving efficiency and reducing errors.


Original Abstract Submitted

An operating method for an electronic device that communicates with a source device through a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI), includes determining whether the source device supports a multi-extended display identification data (EDID) read operation through a display data channel (DDC) and sequentially transmitting an EDID set stored in a non-volatile memory to the source device using an EDID group corresponding to a size of a cache memory, as a transmission unit, based on a size of the EDID set and the size of the cache memory, when it is determined that the multi-EDID read operation is supported.
