ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244061 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an electronic apparatus that combines a lighting function and a multimedia function. It includes a transformation part that converts AC power into DC power, a power factor correction (PFC) part with a PFC circuit and a PFC control circuit, and a converter part that controls the voltage output using a transformer.

  • The electronic apparatus can switch between performing a multimedia function and a lighting function.
  • When performing a multimedia function, the first switch of the converter part is set to a first state.
  • When performing a lighting function, the first switch of the converter part is set to a second state.
  • The PFC part controls the PFC control circuit based on the state of the first switch.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in electronic devices that require both lighting and multimedia functions, such as smart TVs or multimedia projectors.
  • It can also be used in lighting fixtures that have integrated multimedia capabilities, providing a convenient all-in-one solution.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of having separate devices for lighting and multimedia functions, reducing the need for multiple devices and simplifying the user experience.
  • It also addresses the issue of power efficiency by incorporating a power factor correction circuit, ensuring efficient conversion of AC power to DC power.

Benefits

  • The integration of lighting and multimedia functions in a single device reduces clutter and saves space.
  • The ability to switch between different functions allows for versatile usage and customization.
  • The power factor correction circuit improves energy efficiency, reducing power consumption and environmental impact.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides apparatuses including a lighting function and a multimedia function, and control methods thereof. In some embodiments, an electronic apparatus includes a transformation part configured to convert alternating current (AC) power into direct current (DC) power, a power factor correction (PFC) part including a PFC circuit and a PFC control circuit, and a converter part configured to control a voltage output from the PFC part by using a transformer to supply power through an output terminal of the converter part, set a first switch of the converter part to a first state based on the electronic apparatus performing a multimedia function, and set the first switch to a second state based on the electronic apparatus performing a lighting function. The PFC part is configured to control the PFC control circuit, based on a state of the first switch.
