ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,206,878, issued on Jan. 21, was assigned to SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS Co. LTD. (Suwon-si, South Korea).

"Image processing device, image processing system including image processing device, system-on-chip including image processing system, and method of operating image processing system" was invented by Kyung-ah Jeong (Seoul, South Korea), Sun-young Shin (Yongin-si, South Korea) and Jin-hong Oh (Hwaseong-si, South Korea).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system on a chip may include a codec module configured to receive an image including a plurality of first pixel data and output a plurality of second pixel data through a system bus. The codec module comprises at least one (M+N) bit logic circuit including M bit logic and N bit logic. The codec module is configured to operate in a first mode where the (M+N) bit logic circuit performs a dithering operation on the first pixel data of (M+N) bits and generates the second pixel data including at least M bits. The codec module is configured to operate in a second mode where the M-bit logic selectively operates and outputs the second pixel data of M bits."

The patent was filed on Aug. 29, 2022, under Application No. 17/898,144.
