    Abstract: A PWM generation module generates a PWM data signal used to control a light emitting diode (LED) driver for one or more strings of LEDs of a display device. The PWM data signal is synchronized with the frame boundaries of the video content being displayed. The PWM generation module can configure the PWM data signal such that a new PWM cycle is initiated at the start of each successive frame, and further whereby those PWM cycles that would be prematurely terminated at frame boundaries are instead driven at a constant reference level until the frame boundary. With this configuration, a substantially linear average light intensity can be achieved across frames, thereby reducing or eliminating display distortion that is often present in other PWM cycle synchronization techniques. The PWM generation module can use a self-learning process to make adjustments to the expected number of completeable PWM cycles per frame in response to dynamic changes in the frame rate, PWM frequency, or other related display parameters.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing parental controls in a cloud-based media guidance application may provide users with compiled listings of the user's content and parental controls for accessing that and other content based on the user equipment devices from which the content access request is received. A user may identify remote storage providers at which user content is stored, and may provide criteria for limiting or preauthorizing access to selected content by one or more user equipment devices. In response to receiving a user request, a listing of content stored with the remote storage providers may be compiled and presented in a media guidance application. A selection of any one of the user's content, as well as a selection of any other content listed in the media guidance application, may be subject to access control criteria applicable to the user equipment device from which the selection was received.

    Abstract: A pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency converter converts an input PWM signal to an output PWM signal having a different frequency while maintaining a substantially equal duty ratio. The PWM frequency converter samples the input PWM signal for a PWM cycle using a sampling clock. A filter module filters the resulting set of one or more PWM parameters to compensate for noise introduced by potential clock mismatch, clock jitter, ambient variations, and other non-deterministic issues, thereby generating filtered PWM parameters. The sampling employed by the filter module compares a difference between the one or more current PWM parameters and previous (or historical) PWM parameters from an earlier sampled PWM cycle to a predetermined change threshold in determining a filtered set of one or more PWM parameters. The filtered set of one or more PWM parameters then is used to generate one or more corresponding PWM cycles of the output signal.

    Abstract: A power management technique in a light emitting diode (LED) system is disclosed. The LED system includes a plurality of LED driver connected in series, each LED driver configured to regulate the current flowing through a corresponding subset of a plurality of LED strings. Each LED driver determines the minimum tail voltage of the LED strings of the corresponding subset, compares the determined minimum tail voltage with an indicator of a minimum tail voltage of one or more other subsets provided from an upstream LED driver in the series, and then provides an indicator of the lower of the two tail voltages to the downstream LED driver. In this manner an indicator of the minimum tail voltage of the plurality of LED strings is cascaded through the series. A feedback controller monitors the minimum tail voltage represented by the cascaded indicator and accordingly adjusts an output voltage provided to the head ends of the plurality of LED strings.
