  • Publication number: 20120213272
    Abstract: In a method for adjusting video or audio quality of a video stream, a video stream request for requesting an original target video stream from a client is received. Then, information about a connection bandwidth of the client is obtained, and a step is performed for determining if the connection bandwidth of the client is sufficient for receiving the target video stream. When it is determined that the connection bandwidth of the client is insufficient, at least one video or audio parameter is selected according to the information about the connection bandwidth of the client to adjust and reduce the video or audio quality of the target video stream, and the quality-reduced target video stream is transmitted to the client. Information about connection bandwidth of the client is continually obtained for transmitting all of the target video stream to the client.

  • Patent number: 8030902
    Abstract: A method for charging a battery module including a plurality of parallelly-connected battery cell sets in multiple stages is provided. In the present invention, a constant current charging is applied for charging the battery module in an initial stage of charging through the method of voltage control or current control. Then, the charging current is lowered substantially to reduce the charging speed when the voltage of one of the battery cell sets exceeds a safety value or a total voltage of the battery module itself reaches a rated voltage. Accordingly, a safety problem of the battery can be avoided and battery life can be prolonged.
