  • Patent number: 9009107
    Abstract: An object-sharing method used in a object sharing system is provided. The object-sharing method comprises the steps outlined below. An object-sharing request that intends to share an object in a first object storage to a second object storage is received. First and second object paths are compared. Whether a naming conflict condition occurs is determined. The second object storage receives the object and keeps the first object path when the naming conflict condition does not occur. The second object storage receives the object and merges the first and the second object paths when the naming conflict condition occurs and the first and the second object storages are from the same user. An alternative sharing destination is generated to receive the object when the naming conflict condition occurs and the first and the second object storages are not from the same user.

  • Publication number: 20150019376
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for using a trusted device to browse e-books. The system comprises an author end, a user end, an electronic bookstore unit, and a data storage unit. In the cloud system, an e-book author can set the authorization mechanism about e-book sale and downloading to protect their copyrights and to upload the e-book by the electronic bookstore unit. The user also can browse e-books by assigned electronic apparatuses to protect purchase rights from being illegally copied. The e-book is an encrypted file, so the user has to use the identification code of the certified electronic apparatus as a decrypted key to decrypt the e-book file for reading.

  • Publication number: 20140335502
    Abstract: A real-time video annotation learning system and a method for the same are revealed. The real-time video annotation learning system includes a video management module, an annotation management module and a data storage module. A language learner can select videos stored in the data storage module by the video management module and add comments to a location of an image in the video at a specific time while the comments are in the form of text or graphs built in a commentary management module. Thus the comments are shown on the image in the form of text or graphs at a specific time. Users can grasp key points of learning content the video provided exactly. Together with system functions of real-time word look-up and word note, user's learning effect is significantly improved and the video has an advantage in language learning.

  • Patent number: 8756247
    Abstract: A system and a method for sharing online storage services among multiple users are provided. The system includes a user communication interface, a file processing module, and an online storage communication interface. The user communication interface is configured to connect to a client end corresponding to a first user. When the user communication interface receives a file upload request and a corresponding upload file from the client end, the file processing module searches for a personal online storage of the first user and a shared online storage of at least one related user of the first user and determines to upload the upload file to a partial online storage of the personal online storage and the shared online storage. The online storage communication interface transfers the upload file to the partial online storage determined by the file processing module.

  • Publication number: 20140136476
    Abstract: An electronic document supplying system includes a host server device and an analysis server device. The host server device includes an electronic document supplier and a first processer, and the analysis server device includes a database, an analyzer, and a second processer. The first processer analyzes a reading behavior corresponding to one of documents to generate a corresponding reading content weight and transfer the reading content weight to the electronic document supplier. The database collects the reading content weight generated by the reading behaviors of the electronic documents. The to analyzer analyzes the reading content weight to generate corresponding analysis data. The second processer marks the electronic documents based on the analysis data and transfer the marked electronic documents to the database for storing. The electronic document supplier receives the marked electronic documents from the database and supplies the marked electronic documents.

  • Publication number: 20140136496
    Abstract: A method for accessing a file in a cloud storage server is provided. The method comprises the steps outlined below. A file update request is received from a remote device. A specific file is retrieved from a present version data storage area. A unique identification file name is calculated. The specific file is duplicated to generate a new file such that one of the specific file and the new file becomes a first file to be updated in the present version data storage and the other one of them becomes a second file to be moved to an old version data storage area. The second file is named by using the unique identification file name. The first file is updated in the present version data storage area according to the file update request. A database record is added to describe a versioning relationship between the first and the second files.
