  • Publication number: 20160323282
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for permission management. In the method, the terminal obtains fingerprint information of a user based on a touch operation on a preset interface of the terminal by the user. The terminal determines whether the user is an authorized user according to the obtained fingerprint information. When determining that the user is an unauthorized user, the terminal disables a permission for modifying configurations of the terminal by the user.

  • Publication number: 20160253837
    Abstract: As a moving or sliding image reaches, or is about to reach, a target location where its motion slows or stops, a parallax shift is applied. The effect, referred to as a parallax bounce, can be applied in any context wherein an image is moved from one location to another on a display screen, such as for example a sliding or scrolling operation. The parallax bounce can be applied, for example, when the image stops moving, or is about to stop moving. Different objects of different depths in the image shift to different degrees, an effect that is accomplished by laterally shifting the apparent viewpoint of the image. The magnitude of the parallax shift increases progressively, stops, and then decreases to zero, in a manner that simulates a bounce effect.

  • Publication number: 20160224223
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for displaying a document on a touch screen display, which belongs to the field of human computer interaction. The method for displaying a document on a touch screen display includes: displaying an edge region of an electronic document on the touch screen display where the edge region contains an edge of the electronic document and one or more display elements, detecting a movement of an object acting on the touch screen display, and in response to the movement of the object, stretching, for display, the one or more display elements in a direction away from the edge. Thereby, it reminds the user that the display has reached the edge of the electronic document, prevents the user from repeating move operation which is practically inapplicable, and thus improves efficiency of user operation.

  • Patent number: 9160355
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes a sending element, a plurality of receiving elements, and a control unit. The sending element is configured to generate a sending signal. The receiving elements are configured to receive a control signal respectively. The control unit is coupled to the sending element through a first wire and to the receiving elements through a plurality of second wires. The control unit is provided with a comparison table that stores related information of the second wires. When receiving the sending signal, the control unit generates the control signals according the related information of the second wires. At least one of the control signals is transmitted to the corresponding receiving element, and the rest of the control signals are delayed for a preset time and then transmitted to the rest of the receiving elements.

  • Patent number: 8977905
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method and a system for detecting an abnormality of a network processor. The method comprises the following steps: an abnormality detection operation code is added into an execution flow of each thread in a network processor, and the network processor sets a flag bit corresponding to a current thread in an abnormality protection flag data area in a shared memory to a first flag when executing the abnormality detection operation code in the current thread; and when a period of a timer is expire, a coprocessor detects all the flag bits in the abnormality protection flag data area in the shared memory, determines that a thread corresponding to a flag bit which is not the first flag is abnormal when detecting that not all the flag bits are the first flag, and sets all the flag bits to a second flag when detecting that all the flag bits are the first flag.

  • Publication number: 20140221020
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a status of a user are described. A mobile device equipped with sensors may collect sensor data pertaining to transportation modes of the user, tracking locations of the user, identifying environmental noise levels surrounding the user, or speech being spoken in proximity to the user. Features of the collected sensor readings are then used to infer activities the user may be performing. Based at least in part on the multiple inferred activities, a status of the user is determined.

  • Publication number: 20140155015
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) includes multiple receiving components and a sending component. Each receiving component includes a receiving unit and a first control unit. The receiving unit receives a radio signal. The first control unit is configured with a first comparison table storing related information of the receiving component, and used for decoding the radio signal according to the first comparison table, to obtain a corresponding control signal. The sending component includes a sending unit and a second control unit. The sending unit sends the radio signals. The second control unit is configured with a second comparison table storing the related information of the receiving components. When the sending component outputs the control signals through the second control unit, the second control unit generates the control signals according to the second comparison table, and encodes the control signals to generate the radio signals.

  • Patent number: 8729945
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes multiple receiving components for respectively receiving control signals and a transmitting component coupled to the receiving component through multiple leads. Given that the lengths of the leads may be different to each other, the control unit generates the control signals to the leads according to the information about the leads, and firstly delivers at least one of the control signals to the corresponding receiving component(s), and then delivers the remaining control signals to the receiving components after a predetermined time. Furthermore, a method for controlling a signal sequence for the printed circuit board includes generating multiple control signals depending on the information about leads and delivering at least one of the control signals to the corresponding receiving component and delivering the remaining control signals to the remaining receiving components after the predetermined time.
