  • Patent number: 9722654
    Abstract: A smart ultra box adapting to a protective case is disclosed. The protective case protects a mobile communication device. The ultra box comprises a main body, a conversion unit and an expansion module. The main body has an output interface and an external power interface. The conversion unit disposes at the main body, to electrically connect the output interface and the external power interface. The expansion module electrically connects to the conversion unit. The expansion module is for communication with an external device.

  • Patent number: 9551916
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing integrated and adjustable image projection with auto-image correction in electronic devices using an in-facing or world-facing image projector are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes an electronic device including: a lid; a base including a hinge coupling the lid with the base; and an image projection subsystem including an image projector installed in the lid, the image projector being configured to produce a projected image that is projected onto a projection surface, the angle of the projection being adjustable by adjusting the angle of the lid relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 9405751
    Abstract: A Mixed Media Reality (MMR) system and associated techniques are disclosed. The MMR system provides mechanisms for forming a mixed media document that includes media of at least two types (e.g., printed paper as a first medium and digital content and/or web link as a second medium). In one particular embodiment, the MMR system includes a content-based retrieval database configured with an index table to represent two-dimensional geometric relationships between objects extracted from a printed document in a way that allows look-up using a text-based index. A ranked set of document, page and location hypotheses can be computed given data from the index table. The techniques effectively transform features detected in an image patch into textual terms (or other searchable features) that represent both the features themselves and the geometric relationship between them. A storage facility can be used to store additional characteristics about each document image patch.

  • Patent number: 8975925
    Abstract: An electronic safety device for a protection barrier includes a transponder, a transceiver device for receiving a return signal from the transponder, the transponder being movable with respect to the transceiver and adapted to be placed at a current distance, an electric circuit which is switched when the distance is lower or higher than a reference distance and a control and switching system. The transceiver device processes the return signal to generate a control signal with an electric parameter variable in function of the distance. The control signal is a periodic signal with a frequency and has a first spectrum with a middle interval and a second spectrum with lateral intervals shifted with respect the middle interval when the distance is higher than the reference distance, the parameter being associated to a frequency value that comprises either into the middle interval or into one of the lateral intervals.

  • Patent number: 4445027
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed which comprises numeral input keys, plural unit input keys, a device for judging whether a combination of actuations of the numeral input keys and the unit input keys has a meaning as a figure, a device of forbidding the entry of the key signals of said combination in case said combination does not represent a meaning as a figure, and a device for generating an alarm signal simultaneously with the forbidding of said key signal entry.
