ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD CONTROLLING SIGNAL PROVIDED TO PROCESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486363 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD CONTROLLING SIGNAL PROVIDED TO PROCESSOR

Simplified Explanation

The electronic device described in the patent application includes a display driver circuit that can change the state of a signal provided to the processor based on the type of event triggering the display.

  • The display driver circuit is configured to identify events for the display and change the signal state accordingly.
  • The signal state change occurs at a specific timing before a reference time from the start timing of a scan for the display.
  • The display driver circuit can change the signal state from enabling image transmission to disabling it based on the event type.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor. The electronic device includes a display including a display panel and a display driver circuit that includes memory. The display driver circuit is configured to identify an event for a display on the display panel. The display driver circuit is configured to, in response to the event of a first type that executes the display through the memory, change, at a timing before a reference time from a start timing of a scan for the display, a state of a signal provided from the display driver circuit to the processor from a first state indicating to enable an image transmission to the display driver circuit to a second state indicating to disable the image transmission. The display driver circuit is configured to, in response to the event of a second type that executes the display by bypassing the memory, change, at the start timing, the state of the signal provided from the display driver circuit to the processor from the first state to the second state.
