An apparatus for capturing and storing real-time images is provided. A camera module records frames corresponding to sensed light, outputs pixel data of the frames on a data bus, and generates synchronization control signals to control the synchronized transmission of the frames. An interrupt controller receives the synchronization control signals and correspondingly generates interrupt signals. A processing unit receives the interrupt signals, fetches the pixel data of the frames on the data bus according to at least one of the interrupt signals, and stores the fetched pixel data in a memory device.

Apparatuses for capturing and storing real-time images

The invention discloses a general purpose interface controller, including a slave interface controller and a master interface controller, used to exchange data among master devices and slave devices in an electronic device. The slave interface controller receives data and a first control signal from one of the master devices, and converts the first control signal to a request signal. The master interface controller receives the data and the request signal from the slave interface controller, converts the request signal to a second control signal recognized by at least one of the slave devices, and forwards the data and the second control signal to the slave device.
