Abstract:
An LED driver circuit includes a first driver, a second driver, a switch, a first detection module, a second detection module and a control module. The first driver provides a first driving current according to a supply voltage. The second driver provides a second driving current according to the supply voltage. The switch is selectively coupled to the first or second driver. An LED emits light according to the first or second driving current. When the switch is coupled to the first driver, the first detection module keeps detecting the first driving current and outputting a first sensing signal. When the switch is coupled to the second driver, the second detection module keeps detecting the second driving current and outputting a second sensing signal. The control module outputs a first or second control signal according to the first or second sensing signal for controlling the switch.

A wireless control system and a wireless network expansion method applied thereto are provided. The wireless control system comprises a mobile platform and a plurality of wireless devices capable of switching between a first role and a second role. The wireless network expansion method comprises following steps. A mobile platform is turned on. The mobile platforms scans the wireless devices and links to any wireless device serving the first role and then sends a control command to corresponding wireless device, which accordingly broadcasts the control command. The control command is received by at least one wireless device serving the second role. The wireless devices cyclically switch between the first role and the second role to continuously broadcast the control command to other wireless devices serving the second role, so that all of the wireless devices can finally receive the control command from the mobile platform.

An illumination system includes a lighting unit, a rectifier circuit, a drive circuit and a time control circuit. The rectifier circuit rectifies an AC power from an external power source to a DC power. The drive circuit is configured for receiving the DC power and generating a first driving current. The control circuit includes a resistive element and an energy storage element. The energy storage element is electrically coupled to the resistive element, and the energy storage element is configured for charging while the external power source is supplying the power to the illumination system and generating a second driving current to the lighting unit. When the external power source turns off, the energy storage element generates a discharging current to the lighting unit with the resistive element to extend the time duration which a bright state of the lighting unit goes to a dark state.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a flickering frequency of an ambient light source includes the following steps. First, a light intensity of the light source is sensed in a predetermined time period according to a sampling frequency to obtain a plurality of sample values. Then, the sample values are calculated to obtain a median value. Next, the sample values are binarized according to a result of a comparison between the sample values and the median value to obtain a first sequence. The first sequence is differentiated to obtain a second sequence, and the second sequence includes numbers −1, 0, and 1. Then, a distance between the same numbers in the second sequence is calculated, and the sampling frequency is divided by the distance to obtain the flickering frequency of the ambient light source. A system of detecting a flickering frequency of an ambient light source is also disclosed herein.
