BILLBOARD FOR CONTEXT INFORMATION SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240242692 titled 'BILLBOARD FOR CONTEXT INFORMATION SHARING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a billboard circuit in an electronic device that stores context information from various component circuits to indicate their operating status. This information can be retrieved by component circuits to update their operations based on changes in other circuits, even if they were asleep or disabled.
- The billboard circuit stores context information from component circuits.
- Component circuits can retrieve this information to update their operations.
- Changes in operating status of other circuits can be detected and acted upon.
- The billboard circuit can monitor and notify other circuits of updates in context information.
Key Features and Innovation: - Storage of context information from component circuits. - Ability for component circuits to retrieve and update operations based on this information. - Detection of changes in operating status of other circuits. - Monitoring and notification capabilities for updates in context information.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in various electronic devices where multiple component circuits need to interact and adapt based on each other's operating status. This can be useful in smartphones, computers, IoT devices, and more.
Problems Solved: - Enables component circuits to dynamically update their operations based on changes in other circuits. - Facilitates efficient communication and coordination between different components in an electronic device.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency and coordination among component circuits. - Enhanced adaptability and responsiveness of electronic devices. - Enables seamless integration and interaction between various components.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include smart devices, IoT systems, industrial automation, and any electronic device with multiple interacting components that need to adjust their operations based on each other's status.
Prior Art: While there may be prior art related to context information storage and retrieval in electronic devices, the specific implementation of a billboard circuit for this purpose may be a novel approach worth exploring.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring advancements in context-aware computing, system-on-chip design, and communication protocols for efficient coordination among component circuits in electronic devices.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the billboard circuit facilitate communication between component circuits? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in complex electronic systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments relate to a billboard circuit that stores context information received from various component circuits in an electronic device. the context information indicates an operating status of the corresponding component circuit, system or shared resources. the stored context information may be retrieved by one or more component circuits when events (e.g., turning on of a component circuit) are detected. by using the billboard circuit, a component circuit may detect changes in the operating status of other components circuits and configure or update its operations even when the changes occurred while the component circuit was asleep or disabled. the billboard circuit may monitor updating of the context information by the component circuit and initiate notification to other components circuits when certain entries of the context information is updated.
