  • Patent number: 9052210
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reminding a calendar schedule and a recording medium are provided. First, a schedule and a location of an event are set in a calendar, and first positioning information of the location is obtained. Then, second positioning information of a current location of a mobile device is obtained. Next, the current location is determining whether to be within a signal range of a signal source. Once the current location is within the signal range, the time for moving from the location with the second positioning information to the location with the first positioning information is calculated. Finally, a reminding time is set according to the transferring time, and a reminding action is taken at the reminding time. Thereby, the reminding time of the event can be dynamically adjusted to avoid delay caused when the mobile device is too far from the event location.

  • Patent number: 7440008
    Abstract: A video stabilization method. First, optical flows between successive frames are calculated. The camera motion is then estimated by fitting the computed optical flow field to a simplified affine motion model with a trimmed least square method. Then, the computed camera motions are smoothed to reduce the motion vibrations by using a regularization method. Finally, all frames of the video are transformed based on the original and smoothed motions to obtain a stabilized video.

  • Patent number: 6577444
    Abstract: A method for an image-based rendering of light in a virtual volume is disclosed, which can provide various lighting effects in the two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object. Furthermore, the virtual light source can be located at any position corresponding to the three-dimensional object. The light sources in the image are divided into two groups, i.e., the light sources in the rear of the three-dimensional object and the light sources in the front of the three-dimensional object. Then, each image for the illuminating effects of the light sources in the rear of the three-dimensional object is merged in sequence. The merged image of all of the light sources in the rear of the three-dimensional object is merged with the image of the three-dimensional object. Thereafter, each image for the illuminating effects of the light sources in the front of the three-dimensional object is merged in sequence.

  • Publication number: 20030038813
    Abstract: A method of rendering a 3D object using 2D graphics. First, the user provides a closed curve, used to determine a polygon according to a resolution parameter. Based on the acquired polygon, a 3D frame is determined by creating a plurality of beveled planes adjacent to the sides of the polygon and a plurality of extrusive planes adjacent to the beveled planes according to at least one modeling parameter, which includes the bevel size, the bevel height and the extrusion length. Next, the beveled planes and the extrusive planes are sequentially filled by a linear gradient scheme with a color sequence produced by a 3D shading algorithm. Finally, a visible portion of the 3D frame and the filled extrusive planes and beveled planes is displayed on the display device.
