| 20100201844 | Apparatus and Method for Image Capturing - An image capturing method including following steps is provided. A preview image is captured and compressed into a compressed preview image according to a preview quantization table. An image complexity is judged by determining the amount of high frequency components the preview image has according to a set of factors consisting of the preview quantization table, a resolution of the preview image and a size of the compressed preview image. The more the amount of high frequency components the preview image has, the higher the image complexity. A to-be-captured image is captured. An initial quantization table is determined according to a set of factors consisting of the image complexity, a resolution of the to-be-captured image and an image compression target. The to-be-captured image is compressed into an output image according to the initial quantization table. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100167652 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREOF - A communication device and a communication method thereof are provided. The communication device includes a communication chip, a host processor, an audio processor, and a switch. The host processor includes a communication protocol module and a headset profile module. The audio processor includes an audio profile module. The communication protocol module supports a communication protocol including a headset profile, an audio profile and more profiles.

| 20090046081 | MODIFICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY MODIFYING TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE OF IMAGE FRAME DATA - A device and method is provided to selectively modify the transmission performance of a frame data. Through a parallel transmission interface, the frame data is transmitted under a corresponding interface protocol and transmitted toward an image display. The method first detects a data size of the frame data and then provides a transmission control signal based on the detection of the data size. Next, selectively divide the frame data by a factor M based on the transmission control signal. Furthermore, transmit the divided frame data at a raised clock rate based on the factor M. Afterwards, temporarily store the divided frame data about to be transmitted toward the image display until the whole frame data is transmitted. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20080284861 | Image processing method and apparatus thereof - A method for obtaining a still image frame with anti-vibration clearness includes the following steps. Multiple raw image frames are captured during a capturing period according to a capturing instruction. The raw image frames are compressed respectively, according to a predetermined compression rule, into multiple compressed image frames each of which has a data length after such compression. The compressed image frames are stored according to a predetermined sequence. The data lengths of the compressed image frames stored are compared according to the predetermined sequence. The desired still image frame is obtained through the compressed image frame of which the data length has a unique feature among all the compressed image frames. | 11-20-2008 |
