  • Patent number: 9686396
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling multimedia presentation characteristics among a plurality of devices are disclosed. An electronic device (100) is capable of communication (109) with a peripheral device (102) to play back content (107) on the peripheral device (102). The content (107) has an associated a multimedia presentation characteristic signal, for example an audio signal (108). When the electronic device (101) receives a user input request to adjust a system volume, the device is configured to adjust either the associated audio signal or an output volume level of the peripheral device (102). Once this adjustment reaches a threshold, the device is configured to adjust the other of the associated audio signal or the output volume level of the peripheral device (102). The decision of which control to adjust first and which to adjust second can be user defined. The process can be repeated when more than two devices are included in the system.

  • Patent number: 8194147
    Abstract: An image presentation angle adjustment method is provided for a camera device to process images through the method. An image presentation angle assigning device module is integrated in the camera device. When the camera device captures a target image, the image presentation angle assigning device will automatically or through the operation of a user generate an image orientation parameter associated with the target image. Furthermore, the captured target image is stored in an image file within the image storage memory of the camera device associated with the image orientation parameter. Accordingly, when the target image is opened by the user for display, the target image will be displayed in the orientation indicated the image orientation parameter for viewing convenience.
