  • Patent number: 10643486
    Abstract: Steps of a method of case matching for a tutor user are implemented by a server that stores a plurality of tutee cases each including a lecturing location and a subject demand, and a tutor user registration corresponding to the tutor user and including a tutor location, a lecturing subject and a commuting distance limit. The server determines whether the tutee cases include a target tutee case of which the subject demand matches the lecturing subject and a commuting distance between the lecturing location of which and the tutor location is not greater than the commuting distance limit. When the determination is affirmative, the server generates a filtered case result indicating the target tutee case.

  • Patent number: 10561934
    Abstract: A wearable device is configured to be worn by a first user, and to output pressure data indicating an amount of the pressure sensed thereby. An electronic device is communicatively connected to the wearable device for receiving the pressure data. In response to receipt of an initiating signal from a host device, the electronic device, continuously within a predetermined time period, accumulates a first number of exercise movements done by the first user based on the pressure data, receives data related to a second number of exercise movements done by a second user from the host device, and display a dynamic image indicating a relationship between the first number and the second number.

  • Patent number: 10516758
    Abstract: A method for providing personal information is proposed. A server unit receives preference information of a user from a terminal device, and matches the preference information with another user's preference information in a database according to a matching condition. The server unit provides the another user's preference information to the terminal device when the matching condition is satisfied by the preference information of the user and the another user.

  • Publication number: 20190354645
    Abstract: A method is provided for preserving a virtual object to be implemented by an electronic device including storage unit that stores actual data sets corresponding respectively to geographical regions, and each including an actual value of a parameter. The method includes steps of: obtaining a current position of the electronic device; acquiring one actual data set corresponding to the geographical region covering the current position; setting a virtual value of the parameter to the actual value of the corresponding actual data set; determining whether the virtual value falls within a range; when negative, determining whether an instruction is received within a time period; and when negative, outputting a notification of failure.
