| 20090125939 | Television capable of and method for changing output effect based on program type - A television capable of and a method for changing an output effect based on program types are provided. The television stores a lookup table recording the corresponding relationship between program types and scenario modes and receives a television program signal containing a program type information so as to search the scenario mode corresponding to the program type from the lookup table. Then the television adjusts the output effect, such as an image display effect or an audio output effect based on the searched scenario mode. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090096428 | Battery charging method and device thereof - A battery charging method and device thereof are disclosed. The method includes the following steps. First, a charging current is supplied into a plurality of cell blocks of a battery module for charging, and the terminal voltages of the cell blocks are detected, when one of said terminal voltages exceeds a first threshold, the charging is kept continuously over a first preset time period. If one of said terminal voltages of said cell blocks exceeds a second threshold, an over voltage protection is performed, else the charging current is reduced and the battery module is charged by the reduced charging current continuously over a second preset time period and if the cell blocks are determined that they are fully charged, the charging is stopped, otherwise, the battery module is charged continuously. Therefore, the battery charging method and device thereof in accordance with the present invention can prevent the battery module from being overcharged and prolong its life. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090073144 | Input apparatus with multi-mode switching function - An input apparatus with a multi-mode switching function is disclosed. In one embodiment, the input apparatus includes a body, an arc surface touching module and a control module. The arc surface touching module is arranged on surface of the body, and is used to input two-dimensional position data. The control module switches the input mode of said input apparatus based on the two-dimensional position data, and generates a control signal based on switched input mode and the two-dimensional position data. In another embodiment, upon transforming the two-dimensional position data into the three-dimensional position data based on the geometric characteristics of the body, the control module of the input apparatus switches the input mode of the apparatus based on the three-dimensional position data and generates a control signal in accordance with the three-dimensional position data. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090041308 | Object execution method and method with bio-characteristic recognition - An object execution system and a method with bio-characteristic recognition are disclosed. The system includes a biometric apparatus, a storage unit and a processing unit. The biometric apparatus is provides for receiving an inputted bio-characteristic data. The storage unit saves at least one predetermined bio-characteristic data, at least one profile and a lookup table of recording the corresponding relationship between the predetermined bio-characteristic data and the profile. The profile records a plurality of objects to be executed. The processing unit inquires the profile corresponding to the inputted bio-characteristic data based on the lookup table, and executes the plurality of objects recorded by the profile. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090024532 | PHONE-MEDIATING TRADING METHOD - A phone-mediating trading system and a method for use with the same are provided. After the user uses a user phone to construct linkage to the trading host, the trading host generates a set of random data to the user phone where the set of random data is encrypted with a private key designated to the user phone. The encrypted set of random data is transmitted to the trading host, and decrypted through the use of a public key that is stored in the trading host and corresponds to the user's phone number. If the decrypted set of random data, as determined by the trading host, is the same as the originally-generated set of random data, the user is allowed to perform trading with the trading host. This method is efficient and convenient to implement without performing a conventional complex identification process for identifying the user. | 01-22-2009 |
