Only you can help there. There are markings on the IC's. As cryptic as they are, they help identify the component.
Reverse engineering helps. What pins are connected to what.
But you appear to have a regulator, switch. a processor, a bypass cap, a resistor array, and a diode (probably Schottky for reverse polarity protection) Since PIC (
www.microchip.com) processors are pretty cheap, that would not surprise me.
As they say, it's all in the wrist. It's looks like a fair amount of effort was put into making the patterns and programming.
The IP (Intellectual property) is the programing.
Supposedly, instructions are provided. Do they define the patterns?
EDIT:
I did look at your other thread and there is enough I/O on the chip to support 12 I/O pins. You say both rows flash together which means it's the same as a single 8 bit row.
It seems like your "dead in the water" so to speak until you get a LED chaser.
