  • Publication number: 20120198110
    Abstract: A main board and a method for dynamically configuring PCIE ports thereof. The main board comprises a PCIE slot, a detecting circuit, an ROM, a chipset and a modifying circuit. The chipset comprises a Management Engine controller and several PCIE ports. The chipset has a Management Engine function or a similar function. The detecting circuit detects the PCIE slot to generate a current state parameter. The ROM stores a default configuration data. The modifying circuit coupled between the chipset and the ROM determines whether the default configuration data needs to be modified according to the current state parameter. When the default configuration data needs to be modified, the modifying circuit modifies the default configuration data according to the current state parameter, so that the Management Engine controller initially configures the PCIE ports according to the modified default configuration data. Thus, the dynamical configuration of the chipset PCIE ports is realized.

    Abstract: A facial recognition method for eliminating the effect of noise blur and environmental variations is provided, applicable to a data processing apparatus, to determine whether a current-face-image matches a reference-face-image or not. According to the method, Gaussian Noise blur Reduction or another noise blur reduction method is performed on the current-face-image and the reference-face-image. Furthermore, the current-face-image and the reference-face-image are respectively divided into a plurality of blocks, so as to derive feature-vector sets representing the current-face-image and the reference-face-image. Finally a dynamic threshold value is determined according to environmental variations to be compared with the difference of the feature-vector sets, so as to determine whether a current-face-image matches a reference-face-image.

  • Patent number: 8135167
    Abstract: A method for determining a power-save mode of multimedia application, when a user operates a computer system through a peripheral input device, an image sensor retrieves a first image data corresponding to the user's facial feature. Next, the first image data is stored into the computer system. Then, the computer system confirms whether an input signal from the peripheral input device is received or not within a preset time. Once the preset time is reached, the image sensor is used to retrieve a second image data. Then, the computer system compares the second image data with the first image data, and if the matching rate between the second image data and the first image data falls out of a specific range, the computer system enters the power-save mode.

  • Patent number: 8060737
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for preventing a basic input/output system (BIOS) from failing to enter a boot program are adapted to solve the problem that when a central processing unit (CPU) executes a first instruction after a computer is powered on, a start address to be executed is erroneously set as another corresponding start address, resulting in that a BIOS cannot enter a boot program. In the method of the present invention, a jump instruction is written to the corresponding start address, so as to enable an execution instruction to jump to a boot block of the BIOS when the start address is erroneously set in the computer, thus performing a normal boot operation.

  • Patent number: 8054029
    Abstract: A calibration method for servo is provided, wherein a motor of the servo is activated at a low-speed mode to drive a moved member of the servo moving to a first limit position and a second limit positions. During the movement of the moved member, a motor control power of the motor is monitored continuously to determine whether the motor control power exceeds a threshold value. When the moved member reaches the first or the second limit position, the motor control power is raised to exceed the threshold value and a motor coordinate value corresponding to the first or second limit position is determined simultaneously. Finally, a conservation relation for determining the actual coordinate by the motor value can be derived according to the values of actual coordinate of the first and second limit positions, and the values of the corresponding motor coordinate.
