[0076] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0077] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0078] The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0079] OLEDs are current-injection type devices, and their luminous intensity is directly proportional to the pixel current. They are widely used in the display technology field. For example... Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a driving device provided by related technologies.

[0080] Figure 1 In this circuit, the LDO (Low Dropout Regulator) provides the power supply voltage ELVDD to the OLED, and the GAMMA circuit 101 provides the data voltage VDATA to the OLED.

[0081] Since the difference between the power supply voltage ELVDD_IN and the data voltage VDATA in the OLED pixel area determines the pixel current, fluctuations in the power supply voltage ELVDD_IN in the OLED pixel area will affect the pixel current and thus the OLED display effect.

[0082] The magnitude of the data voltage VDATA is determined by the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP. Specifically, R i This refers to the resistors that make up the resistor string in a GAMMA circuit.

[0083] like Figure 2 The diagram shows another driving device provided in the related art, including a voltage adjustment device 201. The voltage adjustment device 201 collects the power supply voltage ELVDD_IN of the OLED pixel area in real time, calculates the voltage change ΔELVDD, and adjusts the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP based on the voltage change ΔELVDD to obtain the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 3The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a voltage regulation device provided in the related art. The device includes an input unit 301, a calculation unit 302, and an output unit 303.

[0085] The input unit 301 is used to amplify the received initial reference voltage Vref to obtain the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR, and to acquire the power supply voltage ELVDD_IN of the OLED pixel area in real time.

[0086] Calculation unit 302 is used to determine the voltage change ΔELVDD based on the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN;

[0087] The output unit 303 is used to adjust the received first reference voltage VGMP and second reference voltage VGSP according to the voltage change ΔELVDD, and output the adjusted first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0088] Because existing technologies simply detect the change in the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN, ΔELVDD, when the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN changes frequently, the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP also change frequently along with ELVDD_IN. This causes the difference between the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN and the data voltage VDATA to change frequently, which in turn causes the pixel current to change frequently with the fluctuation of the OLED pixel area power supply voltage, resulting in screen flicker and affecting the display effect.

[0089] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive unit shown also includes a buffer 102 for enhancing drive capability.

[0090] Based on the above problems, embodiments of this application provide a voltage regulation device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, it includes an input unit 401, a calculation unit 402, a detection unit 403, and an output unit 404;

[0091] The input unit 401, the calculation unit 402, and the output unit 404 are connected in sequence. The input unit 401 is also connected to the output unit 404, and the detection unit 403 is also connected to the calculation unit 402 and the output unit 404.

[0092] The input unit 401 is used to acquire the power supply voltage ELVDD_IN of the OLED pixel area in real time, and to amplify the received initial reference voltage Vref to obtain the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR, the first reference voltage VGMP, and the second reference voltage VGSP.

[0093] Calculation unit 402 is used to determine the voltage change ΔELVDD based on the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN;

[0094] The detection unit 403 is used to output a first control signal DEL_EN and a second control signal DEL_ENB based on whether the voltage change ΔELVDD is within the threshold voltage range.

[0095] The output unit 404 is used to adjust the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP according to the voltage change ΔELVDD to obtain the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD; under the control of the first control signal DEL_EN and the second control signal DEL_ENB, it outputs the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP, or outputs the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0096] This application provides a voltage regulation device. The voltage regulation device sets a threshold voltage range through a detection unit. When the voltage change ΔELVDD is within the threshold voltage range, the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP output by the output unit are unregulated voltages. When the voltage change is not within the threshold voltage range, the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD output by the output unit are both voltages regulated by the voltage change ΔELVDD.

[0097] This application can reduce the frequency at which the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP change with the fluctuation of the OLED pixel area power supply voltage, thereby reducing the frequency at which the difference between the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN and the data voltage VDATA changes, and further reducing the frequency at which the pixel current changes with the fluctuation of the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN, reducing screen flicker and improving display effect.

The second amplification factor is related to the resistance value of the third resistor R3, the resistance value of the fourth resistor R4, and the position of the third terminal of the third variable resistor RP3. In specific implementation, the magnitude of the second amplification factor is adjusted by adjusting the position of the third terminal of the third variable resistor RP3.

[0133] The power supply voltage reference value generation module 504 also includes a fourth rheostat RP4;

[0134] The first terminal of the fourth rheostat RP4 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the fifth resistor R5, the second terminal of the fourth rheostat RP4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the sixth resistor R6, and the third terminal of the fourth rheostat RP4 is electrically connected to the inverting input terminal of the third operational amplifier 604.

[0135] Specifically, the third operational amplifier 606 is used to input the initial reference voltage Vref. Based on the third amplification factor, the initial reference voltage Vref is amplified to obtain the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR. The third amplification factor is related to the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5, the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6, and the position of the third terminal of the fourth variable resistor RP4. In specific implementation, the magnitude of the third amplification factor is adjusted by adjusting the position of the third terminal of the fourth variable resistor RP4.

[0136] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the computing unit 402 includes a fifth operational amplifier 801, a seventh resistor R7, and an eighth resistor R8;

[0137] The inverting input of the fifth operational amplifier 801 is electrically connected to the seventh resistor R7 and is used to input the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN. The non-inverting input of the fifth operational amplifier 801 is electrically connected to the eighth resistor R8 and is used to input the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR. The output of the fifth operational amplifier 801 is used to output the voltage change ΔELVDD.

[0138] Specifically, the calculation unit 402 is a subtractor composed of the fifth operational amplifier 801, the seventh resistor R7, and the eighth resistor R8. The calculation unit 402 receives the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR determined by the power supply voltage generation module 502 and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN collected in real time by the acquisition module 501. The difference between the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN is used as the voltage change ΔELVDD, that is, the voltage change ΔELVDD = ELVDD_TAR - ELVDD_IN.

[0139] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the detection unit 403 includes a first comparator CMP1, a second comparator CMP2, an OR gate 901, and a NOT gate 902;

[0140] The non-inverting input of the first comparator CMP1 is used to input the voltage change ΔELVDD. The inverting input of the first comparator CMP1 is electrically connected to the fourth terminal of the first rheostat RP1. The output of the first comparator CMP1 is electrically connected to the first receiving terminal of the OR gate 901.

[0141] The inverting input of the second comparator CMP2 is used to input the voltage change ΔELVDD. The non-inverting input of the second comparator CMP2 is electrically connected to the fifth terminal of the first rheostat RP1. The output of the second comparator CMP2 is electrically connected to the second receiving terminal of the OR gate 901.

[0142] The output of OR gate 901 is electrically connected to the input of NOT gate 902 to output the first control signal DEL_EN, and NOT gate 902 is used to output the second control signal DEL_ENB.

[0143] In a specific embodiment, the threshold voltage range is related to the position of the fourth terminal of the first variable resistor RP1 and the fifth terminal of the first variable resistor RP2. The first threshold voltage is determined by the position of the fourth terminal of the first variable resistor RP1, and the second threshold voltage is determined by the position of the fifth terminal of the first variable resistor RP2. The first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage.

[0144] When the voltage change ΔELVDD is less than the first threshold voltage but greater than the second threshold voltage, the voltage change ΔELVDD is determined to be within the threshold voltage range; when the voltage change ΔELVDD is greater than the first threshold voltage or less than the second threshold voltage, the voltage change ΔELVDD is determined to be outside the threshold voltage range.

[0145] The first comparator CMP1 is used to determine whether the voltage change ΔELVDD is less than the first threshold voltage. When it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is less than the first threshold voltage, the first comparator CMP1 sends a first low-level signal to the first receiving end of the OR gate. When it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is greater than the first threshold voltage, the first comparator CMP1 sends a first high-level signal to the first receiving end of the OR gate.

[0146] The first low-level signal can be 0, and the first high-level signal can be 1.

[0147] The second comparator CMP2 is used to determine whether the voltage change ΔELVDD is greater than the second threshold voltage. When the voltage change ΔELVDD is greater than the second threshold voltage, the second comparator CMP2 sends a second low-level signal to the second receiver of the OR gate. When the voltage change ΔELVDD is less than the second threshold voltage, the second comparator CMP2 sends a second high-level signal to the second receiver of the OR gate.

[0148] The second low-level signal can be 0, and the second high-level signal can be 1.

[0149] For example, when the first threshold voltage is determined to be 0.5V by the position of the fourth terminal of the first variable resistor RP1, the second threshold voltage is determined to be 0.1V by the position of the fifth terminal of the first variable resistor RP2.

[0150] In one possible implementation, if the voltage change ΔELVDD received by the first comparator CMP1 is 0.4V, since 0.4V is less than the first threshold voltage of 0.5V and greater than the second threshold voltage of 0.1V, that is, the voltage change ΔELVDD is determined to be within the threshold voltage range, then the first comparator CMP1 sends a first low-level signal to the first receiving end of the OR gate, and the second comparator CMP2 sends a second low-level signal to the second receiving end of the OR gate.

[0151] In another possible implementation, if the voltage change ΔELVDD received by the first comparator CMP1 is 0.6V, since 0.6V is greater than the first threshold voltage of 0.5V and 0.6V is greater than the second threshold voltage of 0.1V, that is, it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is not within the threshold voltage range, then the first comparator CMP1 sends a first high-level signal to the first receiving end of the OR gate, and the second comparator CMP2 sends a second low-level signal to the second receiving end of the OR gate.

[0152] In another possible implementation of the prevention, if the voltage change ΔELVDD received by the first comparator CMP1 is 0.05V, since 0.05V is less than the first threshold voltage of 0.5V and less than the second threshold voltage of 0.1V, that is, it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is not within the threshold voltage range, then the first comparator CMP1 sends a first low-level signal to the first receiving end of the OR gate, and the second comparator CMP2 sends a second high-level signal to the second receiving end of the OR gate.

[0153] OR gate 901 is used to output a first control signal based on a first low-level signal or a first high-level signal received by the first receiving end and a second low-level signal or a second high-level signal received by the second receiving end.

[0154] For example, in one possible implementation, if the first receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a first low-level signal and the second receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a second low-level signal, that is, if the voltage change ΔELVDD is determined to be within the threshold voltage range, then the first control signal DEL_EN output by the output end of OR gate is low.

[0155] In another possible implementation, if the first receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a first high-level signal and the second receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a second low-level signal, that is, if it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is not within the threshold voltage range, then the first control signal DEL_EN output by the OR gate output is high.

[0156] In another possible implementation, if the first receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a first low-level signal and the second receiving end of OR gate 901 receives a second high-level signal, that is, if it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is not within the threshold voltage range, then the first control signal DEL_EN output by the OR gate output is high.

[0157] The NOT gate 902 is used to invert the received first control signal DEL_EN. That is, when the first control signal DEL_EN output by the OR gate 901 is low, the second control signal DEL_ENB output by the NOT gate 902 is high; when the first control signal DEL_EN output by the OR gate 901 is high, the second control signal DEL_ENB output by the NOT gate 902 is low.

[0158] In other words, when the voltage change ΔELVDD is within the threshold voltage range, the second control signal DEL_ENB output by the NOT gate 902 is at a high level; when the voltage change ΔELVDD is outside the threshold voltage range, the second control signal DEL_ENB output by the NOT gate 902 is at a low level.

[0159] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the output unit 404 includes a sixth operational amplifier 1001, a seventh operational amplifier 1002, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11, a first transmission gate 1003, a second transmission gate 1004, a third transmission gate 1005, and a fourth transmission gate 1006.

[0160] The inverting input terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001 is electrically connected to the eighth resistor R8 and is used to input the voltage change ΔELVDD. The non-inverting input terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001 is electrically connected to the ninth resistor R9 and is used to input the first reference voltage VGMP. The output terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001 is electrically connected to the first transmission gate 1003 and is used to output the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD.

[0161] The second transmission gate 1004 is used to output the first reference voltage VGMP;

[0162] The inverting input of the seventh operational amplifier 1002 is electrically connected to the tenth resistor R10 to input the voltage change ΔELVDD. The non-inverting input of the seventh operational amplifier 1002 is electrically connected to the eleventh resistor R11 to input the second reference voltage VGSP. The output of the seventh operational amplifier 1002 is electrically connected to the third transmission gate 1004 to output the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0163] The fourth transmission gate 1006 is used to output the second reference voltage VGSP.

[0164] Based on the subtractor composed of the sixth operational amplifier 1001, the eighth resistor R8 and the ninth resistor R9, the first target reference voltage is determined as VGMP-ΔELVDD by subtracting the first reference voltage VGMP input to the non-inverting input terminal and the voltage change ΔELVDD input to the inverting input terminal.

[0165] The subtractor, composed of the seventh operational amplifier 1002, the tenth resistor R10, and the eleventh resistor R11, determines the second target reference voltage as VGSP-ΔELVDD by subtracting the second reference voltage VGSP input to the non-inverting input terminal from the voltage change ΔELVDD input to the inverting input terminal.

[0166] In a specific embodiment, when the first control signal DEL_EN received by the first transmission gate, the second transmission gate, the third transmission gate, and the fourth transmission gate is at a low level and the second control signal DEL_ENB is at a high level, that is, when it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is within the threshold voltage range, the second transmission gate is turned on to output the first reference voltage VGMP, and the fourth transmission gate is turned on to output the second reference voltage VGSP.

[0167] When the first control signal DEL_EN received by the first transmission gate, the second transmission gate, the third transmission gate, and the fourth transmission gate is at a high level, and the second control signal DEL_ENB is at a low level, that is, when it is determined that the voltage change ΔELVDD is not within the threshold voltage range, the second transmission gate is turned on to output the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD, and the third transmission gate is turned on to output the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0168] In other words, when the voltage change is within the threshold voltage range, the output voltage is an unregulated first reference voltage VGMP and a second reference voltage VGSP. This reduces the frequency at which VGMP and VGSP change with ELVDD fluctuations, thereby reducing screen flicker and improving display performance.

[0169] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a base voltage generation unit 1101;

[0170] The base voltage generation unit 1101 is used to perform voltage division processing on the received initial second reference voltage VGSP_IN to obtain the base voltage VBOT;

[0171] Calculation unit 402 is used to determine the voltage change ΔELVDD_1 based on the substrate voltage VBOT, the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR, and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN.

[0172] Output unit 404 is used to adjust the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP according to the base voltage VBOT and the voltage change ΔELVDD_1 to obtain the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD; under the control of the first control signal DEL_EN and the second control signal DEL_ENB, output the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP, or output a target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0173] Specifically, the base voltage generation unit 1101 includes a fifth unity-gain buffer 1102 and a fifth variable resistor RP5.

[0174] The first terminal of the fifth variable resistor RP5 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the second operational amplifier 604 and is used to input the initial second reference voltage VGSP_IN. The second terminal of the fifth variable resistor RP5 is grounded. The third terminal of the fifth variable resistor RP5 is electrically connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the fifth unity-gain buffer 1002 and is used to perform voltage division on the second reference voltage VGSP_IN to obtain the base voltage VBOT.

[0175] The inverting input of the fifth unity gain buffer 1102 is electrically connected to the output of the fifth unity gain buffer 1002, and is used to output the base voltage VBOT.

[0176] In addition, it should be noted that the output terminal of the fifth unity-gain buffer 1102 is electrically connected to the twelfth resistor R12 at the non-inverting input terminal of the fifth operational amplifier 801, the thirteenth resistor R13 at the non-inverting input terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001, and the fourteenth resistor R14 at the non-inverting input terminal of the seventh operational amplifier 1002.

[0177] In a specific embodiment, the calculation unit 402 is a subtractor composed of a fifth operational amplifier 801, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, and a twelfth resistor R12. The fifth operational amplifier 801 receives the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the substrate voltage VBOT through the non-inverting input terminal, and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN through the inverting input terminal. The difference between the sum of the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the substrate voltage VBOT and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN is taken as the voltage change ΔELVDD_1, that is, the voltage change ΔELVDD_1 = ELVDD_TAR + VBOT - ELVDD_IN = ΔELVDD + VBOT.

[0178] Based on the subtractor composed of the sixth operational amplifier 1001, the eighth resistor R8, the ninth resistor R9, and the thirteenth resistor R13, the sixth operational amplifier 1001 receives the first reference voltage VGMP and the base voltage VBOT through the non-inverting input terminal, and receives the voltage change ΔELVDD_1 through the inverting input terminal, and determines the first target reference voltage as VGMP+VBOT-ΔELVDD_1=VGMP+VBOT-(ΔELVDD+VBOT)=VGMP-ΔELVDD.

[0179] Based on the subtractor composed of the seventh operational amplifier 1002, the tenth resistor R10, the eleventh resistor R11, and the fourteenth resistor R14, the seventh operational amplifier 1002 inputs the second reference voltage VGSP and the base voltage VBOT through the non-inverting input terminal, and inputs the voltage change ΔELVDD_ through the inverting input terminal, and determines the second target reference voltage as VGSP+VBOT-ΔELVDD_1=VGSP+VBOT-(ΔELVDD+VBOT)=VGSP-ΔELVDD.

[0180] It should be noted that the substrate voltage generation unit 1101 generates a substrate voltage VBOT and sends it to the calculation unit 402 and the output unit 404, thereby increasing the calculation range of the calculation unit 402 to a higher voltage range. This avoids calculation errors caused by a negative difference between the power supply voltage reference value ELVDD_TAR and the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN. At the same time, the substrate voltage VBOT is eliminated during the calculation process of the output unit 404, without affecting the final calculation result.

[0181] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, it also includes a first adjustment resistor, a second adjustment resistor, and a third adjustment resistor;

[0182] The first end of the first trimming resistor RT1 is electrically connected to the inverting input terminal of the fifth operational amplifier 801, and the second end of the first trimming resistor RT1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the fifth operational amplifier 801.

[0183] The first end of the second adjustment resistor RT2 is electrically connected to the inverting input terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001, and the second end of the second adjustment resistor RT2 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the sixth operational amplifier 1001.

[0184] The first end of the third adjustment resistor RT3 is electrically connected to the inverting input of the seventh operational amplifier 1002, and the second end of the third adjustment resistor RT3 is electrically connected to the output of the seventh operational amplifier 1002.

[0185] Specifically, the offset voltage output of the fifth operational amplifier 801 is eliminated by the first trimming resistor, the offset voltage output of the sixth operational amplifier 1001 is eliminated by the second trimming resistor, and the offset voltage output of the seventh operational amplifier 1002 is eliminated by the third trimming resistor.

[0186] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a driving device, which is similar in principle to the voltage regulation device described above, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0187] like Figure 13 The diagram shown is a schematic of the structure of a driving device provided in an embodiment of this application, including a low dropout linear stabilizer (LDO), a GAMMA circuit 1301, and a voltage regulation device 1303 as described in any one of claims 1 to 8.

[0188] The output of the LDO is electrically connected to the input of the voltage regulator 1303. The LDO is used to provide the initial reference voltage Vref to the voltage regulator and the power supply voltage ELVDD to the OLED.

[0189] The first input terminal of the GAMMA circuit 1301 is electrically connected to the first output terminal of the voltage regulation device 1303, and the second input terminal of the GAMMA circuit 1301 is electrically connected to the second output terminal of the voltage regulation device 1303. The GAMMA circuit 1301 is used to provide the data voltage VADTA to the OLED according to the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP, or the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD, output by the voltage regulation device 1303.

[0190] This application provides a voltage regulation device and a driving device. The voltage regulation device sets a threshold voltage range through a detection unit. When the voltage change ΔELVDD is within the threshold voltage range, the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP output by the output unit are unregulated voltages. When the voltage change is not within the threshold voltage range, the first target reference voltage VGMP-ΔELVDD and the second target reference voltage VGSP-ΔELVDD output by the output unit are both voltages regulated by the voltage change ΔELVDD.

[0191] This application can reduce the frequency at which the first reference voltage VGMP and the second reference voltage VGSP change with the fluctuation of the OLED pixel area power supply voltage, thereby reducing the frequency at which the difference between the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN and the data voltage VDATA changes, and further reducing the frequency at which the pixel current changes with the fluctuation of the OLED pixel area power supply voltage ELVDD_IN, reducing screen flicker and improving display effect.

[0192] The present application has been described above with reference to block diagrams and / or flowcharts illustrating methods, apparatus (systems), and / or computer program products according to embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that a block of a block diagram and / or flowchart, as well as combinations of blocks of block diagrams and / or flowcharts, can be implemented by computer program instructions.

[0193] Accordingly, this application can also be implemented using hardware and / or software (including firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.). Furthermore, this application can take the form of a computer program product on a computer-usable or computer-readable storage medium, having computer-usable or computer-readable program code implemented in the medium for use by or in conjunction with an instruction execution system.

Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
