    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for surface decoration of a three-dimensional object with ease. In one embodiment of the invention, a planar construction article that is foldable into the object is utilized. In another embodiment of the invention, multiple angle plates that are assembled into the object are utilized. The surface decoration process is carried out before the planar construction article is folded or before the angle panels are assembled together thereby to significantly simplify the decoration process of object faces in different orientations. The invention also provides a three-dimensional object obtained from the methods of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8591329
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for processing a frame-recording based video clip without the need of modifying the video clip and/or directly inserting any form of signals into the video clip. The method comprises the steps of: browsing the video clip frame by frame by a video editing software; importing a grid layer into the video editing software such that the grid layer is browsed synchronously with each frame of the video clip; analyzing movement of a character and/or an object in the video clip by the grid layer; generating a series of game data to record the movement; storing the series of game data in a game unit after the generation of the game data; and connecting a game input to the game unit to activate the game, wherein the game unit receives input data from the game input when the video clip is played and synchronously compares the input data with the game data to determine whether they matches with each other.

  • Patent number: 7811173
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods to provide a game system utilizing a normal household DVD player. The apparatus typically uses multiple remote controls and a game disc to provide an interactive game such as a quiz game. The game disc manipulates the address locations within the DVD to provide movement throughout the disc and the remote controls similarly at an offset to the address locations to source particular media files on the disc to be displayed on an associated television or similar device. The remote controls are also provided with a mechanism to avoid conflict between near simultaneous signals that include receivers within the remote controls to receive the signals, resolve the first remote control operated and only allow an operational code from that remote control to be received by the DVD player.
