| 20120098844 | COMPUTER AND REFRESH RATE ADJUSTMENT METHOD - A refresh rate adjustment method automatically adjusts a refresh rate of a monitor connected to a computer to a default refresh rate, in response that a detected keystroke signal is a predefined keystroke signal. The method further detects a refresh rate range that is supported by the monitor, detects a new refresh rate input signal from the input device, and determines if the new refresh rate falls within the refresh rate range that is supported by the monitor. If the new refresh rate falls within the refresh rate range that is supported by the monitor, the method automatically adjusts the refresh rate of the monitor with the new refresh rate. Otherwise, the method prompts a user to input the new refresh rate again by displaying a dialog box on the monitor. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120124288 | REMOVABLE STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING DRIVE LETTER OF THE REMOVABLE STORAGE DEVICE - A method for physically identifying an association between a removable storage device and its assigned drive letter, the removable storage device connecting to a computing device. A data structure which comprises the drive letter assigned by an operating system of the computing device is received and analyzed to retrieve the drive letter assigned to the removable storage device. The drive letter of the removable storage device is displayed on a screen of the removable storage device or on a display device connected to the removable storage device. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120124358 | CONFIGURATION INFORMATION RECOVERING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A basic input output system (BIOS) microchip of a card and method recovers configuration information of the BIOS microchip of the card. The BIOS microchip of the card invokes a reading function from a BIOS microchip of a motherboard to read predetermined configuration information from the BIOS microchip of the motherboard. The BIOS microchip of the card replaces the configuration information stored in the BIOS microchip of the card by the predetermined configuration information, in response to a determination that the configuration information stored in the BIOS microchip of the card is different from the predetermined configuration information. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120159047 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MERGING STORAGE SPACE OF USB FLASH DRIVES - A method for merging storage space of multiple universal serial bus (USB) flash drives is applied in a computing device. The method detects USB flash drives plugged into USB ports of the computing device and checks respective storage capacities, stored files, and available storage space of the USB flash drives. A virtual USB flash drive including all the stored files of the USB flash drives is created. Files of the virtual USB flash drive are related to the USB flash drives. A file may be copied from a data processing device connected to the computing device to the virtual USB flash drive and split for storage between more than one USB flash drive, or a second file may be copied from one or more USB flash drives to the data processing device through the virtual USB flash drive. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120164951 | Method and System for Multi-Beam Forming Based on Joint Transceiver Information - A method for multi-beam forming based on joint receiving and transmitting end information is provided. The method includes: a transmitting end decomposing a channel matrix H using a geometric mean decomposition (GMD) way to obtain a unitary matrix P; the transmitting end using the unitary matrix P as a weight matrix of GMD beam forming and executing multi-beam forming processing on an original transmission signal x. The present invention also provides a system for multi-beam forming based on joint receiving and transmitting end information, and a transmitting device and receiving device for supporting multi-beam forming based on joint receiving and transmitting end information. By using geometric mean decomposition way to decompose the channel matrix H, the sub channels corresponding to various beams obtain the equal gain. When the channel is ill-conditioned, the channel equalization will not interfere with searching the perturbation vector, thereby avoiding the performance degradation. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120165070 | DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A digital photo transmission system is used to transmit a digital photo captured by a digital camera to a storage system by a mobile device. The digital photo transmission system determines the digital photo by a determination control module, obtains the digital photo by an obtaining module. The digital photo transmission system transmits the digital photo to a register module of the mobile device by a first wireless communication module of the digital camera and a second wireless communication module of the mobile device. At least, the digital photo is transmitted to the storage system by a wireless transmission mode. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120169599 | WIRELESS MOUSE - A wireless mouse includes a case, a mouse circuit received in the case, and a battery control circuit to power the mouse circuit. The battery control circuit includes a battery, a touch switch positioned on the case, and a switch circuit connected to the battery, the touch switch, and the mouse circuit. When the touch switch is touched, the touch switch is turned on, the switch circuit outputs a high level signal to the mouse circuit. When the touch switch is not touched, the touch switch is turned off, the switch circuit outputs a low level signal to the mouse circuit. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120173860 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION OF NETWORK INTERFACE CARD IN OPERATING SYSTEM - In a method for registering identification information of network interface cards (NICs) in an operating system of a computing device, each of the NICs is respectively and uniquely labeled with a number. A peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device identification (ID) of each of the NICs is allocated according to the labeled number of each NIC using a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computing device when the BIOS is booted up. Then identification information of each of the NICs is registered in the operating system according to the PCI device ID of each NIC using a NIC driver of the computing device, when the NIC driver is driven by the operating system during the booting up process of the operating system. | 07-05-2012 |
