Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the standby circuit functionality into the main power supply circuit by using the same PFC circuit and controller. The controller can switch between different operating modes (standby and full power) by adjusting the PWM duty cycle, eliminating the need for a separate standby circuit and reducing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The power supply circuit is designed to perform multiple functions: it can operate in standby mode to provide minimal power for keeping the TV in sleep mode, and in full power mode for normal operation. The same PFC circuit and controller handle both modes, making the power supply system universal and multi-functional.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
