Publication number: 20230237702Abstract: The method includes a data collection step, a setup step, a positioning step, an analysis step, and an adjustment step. The data collection step collects spatial data about a scene to be monitored. The setup step installs a number of monitoring devices and a reference device, where the reference device includes a reflector or a calibration pattern. The positioning step determines respective positions of the monitoring devices relative to the reference device. The analysis step determines whether the FOVs of the monitoring devices jointly cover the scene by an algorithm module analyzing the scene data, the FOVs of the monitoring devices, and the relative positions of the monitoring devices against the reference device. The adjustment step provides suggestions about adding one or more monitoring devices or changing positions of the monitoring devices to cover the scene entirely if the FOVs of the monitoring devices do not cover the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Wen-Hsiung Lin, Kai-Pin Tung, Chih-Yuan Chu

Publication number: 20180130124Abstract: A method for product service system classification and service transformation is provided. In the method, analysis data of multiple product service systems (PSSs) is collected and accordingly multiple condition attributes of the PSSs are defined and used to establish a classification decision table. Then, reducts of the condition attributes are induced from the classification decision table through a rough set theory algorithm and accordingly multiple candidate decision rules are generated. The candidate decision rules are validated by using the analysis data to generate final decision rules. The final decision rules are applied to determine a current type of the PSS of a target firm. Core competences of the target film are analyzed to determine a recommend type of the PSS for the future. Finally, a transformation recommendation for the service of the target firm is provided according to differences between the condition attributes of the recommend type and the current type.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Applicant: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventors: Ming-Chuan Chiu, Chih-Yuan Chu

Patent number: 8855171Abstract: A technique for reducing the dwell time in acquiring a satellite signal is provided. The technique minimizes the dwell time in searching for a satellite signal in cells of a search space by comparing the peak-power-to-average ratio (PAPR) to one or more thresholds at one or more intermediate points during the search in a code phase/Doppler frequency bin. The comparison is then used to determine whether to continue the search in a current code phase/Doppler frequency bin or to continue to the next code phase/Doppler frequency bin.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Chih-Yuan Chu, Hao Zhou, Hao-Jen Cheng, Qinfang Sun

Patent number: 8149905Abstract: A method and apparatus in a multiple sub-carrier digital communication receiver estimates a Doppler frequency bandwidth. The Doppler frequency bandwidth is estimated by comparing a first set of channel estimates to a second set of channel estimates generated by Wiener filter interpolation of the first set of channel estimates. The Wiener interpolation filter coefficients are generated for various Doppler frequency bandwidths. Pre-determined transmit pilot symbols may be used to generate the first set of channel estimates in an OFDM communication system. A set of Wiener filter interpolation errors may be generated at one or more sub-carrier frequencies, for each of the different Doppler frequency bandwidths, and averaged across time and/or frequency. The Doppler frequency estimation method and apparatus may select a Doppler frequency estimate based on the set of Wiener filter interpolation errors.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.Inventors: Hao-Ren Cheng, Gaspar Lee, Chih-Yuan Chu

Patent number: 8064507Abstract: A method and apparatus in a multiple sub-carrier digital communication receiver that estimates a communication channel. A second set of channel estimates are generated based on a Wiener filter interpolation of a first set of channel estimates. Pre-determined transmit pilot symbols may be used to generate the first set of channel estimates in an OFDM communication system. The coefficients of the Wiener interpolation filter are based on a channel impulse response estimate that includes two or more narrow regions of non-zero amplitude separated by one or more wide regions of essentially zero amplitude. The Wiener interpolation filter coefficients are also based on a Doppler frequency estimate. The Doppler frequency estimate may be determined from the first set of channel estimates, while the Wiener interpolation filter coefficients may be generated from a pre-determined set of channel impulse responses.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.Inventors: Hao-Ren Cheng, Gaspar Lee, Chih-Yuan Chu
