| 20090094386 | DISPLAY, COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A COMPUTER TO FALL ASLEEP - A display includes a power switch, a serial bus interface, a microprocessor and other necessary components. The serial bus interface is configured to connect to a serial bus interface of a computer through a data cable. The power switch is provided to be pressed down by user, which is used to turn on or off the display. The microprocessor determines whether the duration of pressing on the power switch exceeds a predetermined period of time. If yes, the microprocessor further determines a current state of the display. If the display is “off”, the microprocessor transmits a sleep control instruction to the computer and controls the computer to fall asleep. If the display is “on”, the microprocessor transmits a wake-up instruction to the computer and wakes up the computer. A method of controlling a computer to fall asleep is also provided. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090106833 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS WITH PERIPHERAL ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - A method for managing access authorization of peripherals of an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes the step of: providing a data storage for storing a peripheral registry table which stores hardware IDs of the peripherals; reading the hardware ID of the peripheral when the peripheral is connected to the electronic apparatus; determining whether the hardware ID is recorded in the peripheral registry table; activating an access of the peripheral when the hardware ID is recorded in the peripheral registry table; and registering the hardware ID of the peripheral into the peripheral registry table when the hardware ID is not recorded in the peripheral registry table. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090128173 | TESTING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An exemplary testing system for measuring an electronic device includes a main controller for generating a control signal, a signal generator for outputting a predetermined test input signal according to the control signals, an instrument unit comprising a plurality of instruments, and a testing port comprising a plurality of probes. The probes are configured for connecting corresponding testing points of the electronic device to the signal generator and the instruments. The predetermined test input signal is transmitted to the electronic device via the testing port, the instrument unit processing a test result signals outputted by the electronic device and outputting a result data, and the main controller receiving the result data and computing whether the result data is within a predetermined range. A related testing method is also provided. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20120162925 | CARD TRAY EJECTION MECHANISM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - A card tray ejection mechanism for an electronic device, which includes a first elongated member rotatably mounted to the base, a second elongated member, and a driving member. The first elongated member includes a first end portion resisting against a side of the tray, a second end portion opposite to the first end portion and a pivoting rod located between the first and second end portions. The second elongated member is rotatably connected to the second end portion. The driving member drives the second elongated member to move longitudinally. When the second elongated member is driven to move longitudinally by the driving member, the first elongated member is driven to rotate around the pivoting rod by the second elongated member, and the card tray is ejected. An electronic device using the card tray ejection mechanism is also provided. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120173007 | AUDIO PLAYER, AUDIO PLAYER SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR TURNING OFF AUDIO PLAYER - An audio player includes a control module and an audio interface, wherein the audio interface includes a microphone pin, a ground pin respectively connected to corresponding pins of an earphone when the earphone is connected to the player through the audio interface. The control module is used for detecting a change in a resistance value between the microphone pin and the ground pin, and powers off the audio player when detecting the earphone is entered into an idle state according to the detected change in the resistance value that is a change from a first resistance value to a second resistance value. The present disclosure also provides an audio player system using the audio player, and a method. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120189134 | EARPHONE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME - An electronic device includes a main body and an earphone. The main body includes an earphone socket and a first processing unit. The earphone includes an earphone plug, a storage unit, and a second processing unit. The earphone is connected to the main body by inserting the earphone plug into the earphone socket. The storage unit stores a password. The second processing unit transmits the password to the main body when the second processing unit detects that the earphone plug is inserted into the earphone socket. The first processing unit unlocks the main body if the password received from the earphone matches a predetermined condition. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20120264398 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND UNLOCKING METHOD THEREOF - An electronic device includes a detecting unit, a proximity sensor and an unlocking unit. The detecting unit is used for detecting whether the electronic device is in a standby state, and generating a first signal when it is detected that the electronic device is in the standby state. The proximity sensor is used for sensing whether a person is proximate to the electronic device, and generates a second signal when it is determined the person is proximate to the electronic device. The unlocking unit is used for unlocking the electronic device when the first and second signals are generated within the same period of time. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120296599 | TEMPERATURE SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A temperature sensing system used to test the temperature of a surface of a to-be-tested object includes an image capturing unit to capture an image of a base supporting the to-be-tested object. A host obtains and displays the captured image, and maps the image to a coordinate system. Each point of the image corresponds to a coordinate of the coordinate system. The host further determines the coordinate of a selected point of the displayed image. A temperature sensing unit senses the temperature of the surface of the to-be-tested object according to the coordinate of the selected point of the displayed image. A method for sensing the temperature of surface of a to-be-tested object is also provided. | 11-22-2012 |
