  • SERVER AND METHOD FOR MATCHING ELECTRONIC DEVICE USERS
    Publication number: 20140006509
    Abstract: In a method for matching electronic device users, a user name and position information is received from an electronic device. The method determines a target matching item corresponding to the position information, and sends the target matching item and a prompt message to the electronic device, for prompting whether the user wants to join in the target matching item or create a new matching item. When the user wants to join in the target matching item, the method inserts the user name into the target matching item, and updates a total participating number of the target matching item. A success message is sent to all electronic devices recorded in relation to the target matching item when a total participating number accord with a minimum required participating number.

  • System and method for controlling virtual keyboard of an electronic device
    Patent number: 8584032
    Abstract: In a system and method for controlling a virtual keyboard of an electronic device, the virtual keyboard is generated and displayed on a touch screen of the electronic device. The method sets an angle threshold value, a movement amplitude and a movement direction of the virtual keyboard for each tilting angle of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in an edit mode and displays a middle keyboard area of the virtual keyboard, the method records an initial tilting angle and read the tilting angle of the electronic device. The method calibrates the read tilting angle to acquire actual tilting angle according to the initial tilting angle, and confirms the movement amplitude and movement direction of the virtual keyboard according to the actual tilting angle. The virtual keyboard is controlled to move according to the confirmed movement amplitude and towards the confirmed movement direction.
