| 20100110305 | Method and Apparatus for Processing Multiple Broadcasting Signal Standards in a Broadcasting Signal Receiver System - A broadcasting signal receiver system containing a multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit and a general system resource is disclosed, wherein the multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit is configured to process one or more tuning processing steps and/or one or more demodulation processing steps, and wherein the general system resource is configured to process at least one collaborative demodulation processing step with the multi-standard-compatible dedicated processing unit via a high-speed data transfer interface. By utilizing the general system resource for at least one demodulation processing step using the high-speed data transfer interface such as USB 3.0 or PCI Express, the broadcasting signal receiver system can have a flexible design for future updates and a cost-effective compatibility to a multiple number of broadcasting standards without requiring the dedicated processing unit to use more application-specific hardware resources. | 05-06-2010 |
