Abstract
An electronic device is described that includes: a host processor comprising at least one input port configured to receive a plurality of data signals on a plurality of virtual channels; and a memory operably coupled to the host processor and configured to receive and store data. The host processor is configured to enable and disable individual virtual channels from the plurality of virtual channels and is configured to only store data in memory associated with enabled virtual channels, and discard data from disabled channels.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a host processor comprising at least one input port configured to receive a plurality of data signals on a plurality of virtual channels, wherein the host processor is configured to enable and disable individual virtual channels from the plurality of virtual channels;
- and
- a memory device operably coupled to the host processor and configured to receive and store decoded data from the individual virtual channels;
- wherein the electronic device is characterised in that the host processor is configured to only store data in memory associated with enabled virtual channels and discard data from disabled channels.
A vehicle comprising a video device that comprises:
- a host processor comprising at least one input video port configured to receive a plurality of video data signals on a plurality of virtual channels;
- and
- a memory device operably coupled to the host processor and configured to receive and store video data;
- wherein the host processor is configured to enable and disable individual virtual channels from the plurality of virtual channels;
- wherein the host processor is configured to only store video data in memory associated with enabled virtual channels and discard video data from disabled channels.
A method of processing data in an electronic device in a vehicle that includes a host processor, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of data signals on a plurality of virtual channels;
- and
- enabling and disabling individual virtual channels from the plurality of virtual channels,
- selectively decoding and storing data from at least one of the virtual channels data in memory associated with enabled virtual channels, and discarding data from disabled channels.
