IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2020-06-29
Abstract: Circuitry 230 comprises an interpolation filter circuit 136 receiving a digital input signal and outputting an interpolated digital signal, an amplifier circuit 140 generating an output signal based on the interpolated digital signal, and protection circuitry 256 configured to activate in response to detection of a fault condition, e.g., over-current, over-voltage or short-circuit, at the amplifier output (feedback path). The circuitry further comprises detection circuitry 258, e.g. overshoot detection, configured to output a control signal to disable the protection circuit when a transient signal unrelated to the fault is detected at an output of the interpolation filter (feedforward path). In some arrangements the transient signal is due to a discontinuity in the interpolation filter’s input signal. The detection circuitry may compare the interpolated output signal to a threshold, which may be selectable and/or based on the impedance of a load 170 driven by the amplifier circuit. The circuitry may be an integrated circuit (IC), e.g. a codec 230, used in an electronic device such as a mobile phone, laptop or gaming device, and may be used to avoid false activation of the protection circuit arising from changes in the input signal.

Title: Behavior recognition method, behavior recognition device, and computer-readable recording medium
Inventor: YUYA OBINATA
IPC: G06V40/20
Filed: 2021-02-10
Abstract: A method and device for behaviour recognition. The device comprises an acquisition unit 2, 11, 12 for acquiring positions of a plurality of joints and a recognition unit 13. Partial behaviours are recognised based on a feature value calculated using the position of the joints and weights selected according to the type of partial behaviour. The weighting may be selected according to cooperativity among the joints. An element behaviour may be recognised based on a feature value calculated from a time-series of partial-behaviours 14 based on weighted data on the relative position of joints wherein the weighting depends on the element behaviour. A calculator 17 may be configured to refer to weight data that have been learned using a machine learning (ML) algorithm based on time-series data of the position of joints. The method is therefore able to recognise complex behaviours based on combinations of comparatively simple partial behaviours.
