SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ROUTING MULTIMEDIA SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031536 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ROUTING MULTIMEDIA SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for establishing a reliable multimedia link to route high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition multimedia signals. If the multimedia link is not established properly due to a lock or hang-up during power on or a coupling event, components along the link may be reset. Additionally, if the properties of the multimedia signal do not align with configuration settings, components along the link may lock or hang-up. The patent application proposes writing the configuration settings stored in the sink device's configuration registers one or more times to remove the lock or hang-up.
- Systems and methods for establishing a multimedia link for high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition multimedia signals.
- Addressing issues where the multimedia link may not be established properly during power on or a coupling event.
- Resetting components along the multimedia link if the link has not been established continuously for a certain time period.
- Handling situations where components along the multimedia link may lock or hang-up due to mismatched properties of the multimedia signal and configuration settings.
- Writing the configuration settings stored in the sink device's configuration registers to remove the lock or hang-up.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Multimedia devices and systems that require reliable establishment of multimedia links for high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition signals.
- Consumer electronics such as televisions, projectors, and media players that rely on stable multimedia connections.
- Professional audio/video production and broadcasting equipment that need to ensure uninterrupted transmission of high-quality multimedia signals.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring reliable establishment of multimedia links to prevent disruptions or loss of signal quality.
- Addressing issues where components along the multimedia link may lock or hang-up due to mismatched signal properties and configuration settings.
- Providing a mechanism to reset components along the link if the link is not established properly for a certain time period.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and stability of multimedia connections for high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition signals.
- Reduced disruptions and potential loss of signal quality during power on or coupling events.
- Simplified troubleshooting and resolution of lock or hang-up issues along the multimedia link.
- Enhanced user experience with seamless and uninterrupted multimedia playback.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are systems and methods for reliably establishing a multimedia link to route one or more multimedia signals, such as high-definition and/or ultra-high-definition multimedia signals. in some instances, the user may turn on, plug in, or switch the source device that outputs multimedia signals, but the multimedia link may not be established properly due to a lock or hang up during power on and/or a coupling event. if the multimedia link has not been established continuously for a certain time period, then component(s) located along the multimedia link may be reset. in some instances, component(s) located along the multimedia link may lock or hang up if the properties of the multimedia signal do not align with configuration setting(s). the configuration setting(s) stored in configuration register(s) of the sink device may be written to one or more times to remove the lock or hang up.
