  • Patent number: 10488988
    Abstract: A method of disregarding unintended touches applied to a handheld electronic device includes dividing a display area of a touch display into a plurality of subareas. When a touch operation is detected, the location of touch in one of the plurality of subareas is determined. A function corresponding to the operation is performed according to the one of the plurality of subareas the operation is generated in, and the method allows for simultaneous or almost simultaneous touches on other subareas being disregarded where the touches do not meet certain conditions.

  • Publication number: 20190166249
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a screen, a processor and a storage device communicatively coupled to the processor. The storage device storing computer-executable instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to detect a touch motion in a preset area that is located in an edge area of the screen, determine whether the touch motion is a preset touch motion when the touch motion is detected in the preset area, and execute a first preset function corresponding to the touch motion when the touch motion is the preset touch motion. The first preset function is defined as generating and displaying a first shortcut icon of a prediction function corresponding to an application interface currently displayed on the screen according to a previous touch motion received by the application interface. A screen controlling method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9473705
    Abstract: In a method for determining a field of view of a camera device, a location device sends position information to establish anchor points. The camera device captures images of the anchor points, and obtains vertical angles of the anchor points, horizontal angles of the anchor points, and distances between the camera device and the anchor points. Each anchor point corresponds to one or more speakers. The method calculates rotation angles of speakers according to the vertical angles, the horizontal angles, the distances and anthropometric values of the speakers. The method further determines the field of view of the camera device according to the rotation angles.

  • Patent number: 8902276
    Abstract: A method controls manipulation of a computing device. The method turns on a camera device to capture images and gestures of a manipulation owner, analyzes the gestures to get operations to control the computing device using a recognition unit of the computing device, and determines whether an additional participant gets the manipulation control of the computing device. If the additional participant gets the manipulation control of the computing device, the method stops to capture the images of the manipulation owner, and captures the images of the additional participant. If the additional participant does not get the manipulation control of the computing device, the method still captures the images of the manipulation owner.

  • Publication number: 20140139657
    Abstract: A display bracket is electronically and physically connected to a display. The display is installed with a camera and an infrared sensor. First, a user is prompted to look straight ahead. The camera captures a first image of eyeballs of the user. Then the user is prompted to look at the camera, the camera captures a second image of the eyeballs. An initial angle between the display and the display bracket is detected. When the user is looking at the display, the camera captures a third image of the eyeballs. The angle between the display and the display bracket to be adjusted is calculated according to the first image, the second image, the third image and the initial angle between the display and the display bracket.

  • Publication number: 20140010377
    Abstract: An electronic device is used in a teleconference. Each attendee location of the teleconference has at least one electronic device. The electronic device detects ambient noise and sets a volume range of a speaker of the electronic device according to the ambient noise. When an attendee location sends audio to the electronic device, a receiver of the electronic device receives the audio and analyzes volume parameter from the audio. When the volume parameter is in the volume range, the speaker outputs the audio directly. When the volume parameter is not in the volume range, the electronic device adjusts a digital sound value of the attendee location and outputs the audio with the adjusted digital sound value.
