Abstract: After a data backup unit connects to a mobile device, an App executed on the mobile device will create a user profile block in the memory unit of the data backup unit, help set up charging preferences and backup preferences in the profile block, and create a backup folder to store backup files from the mobile device. The App estimates a charging time required to charge the battery, a backup time required to complete the data backup and an available time interval, then the App sums up the charging time and the backup time to get a required time interval. Then, the App compares the required time interval and the available time interval to decide whether to perform both the backup task and the charging task or to perform just the charging task.

Abstract: A data protection method for protecting backup data stored in a data backup device is executed by a mobile device. When the mobile device is included in a trust circle of the data backup device, the mobile device can receive a certified signal, can execute a file manager of a backup APP for loading the backup data, and can generate a first invitation code. Otherwise, the mobile device cannot access the backup data, and displays a code input menu for inputting a second invitation code. The data backup device can certify the first invitation code and the second invitation code for determining whether the mobile device can be added into the trust circle of the data backup device. Therefore, the mobile device included in the trust circle can access the backup data, and the privacy of the backup data can be secured.

Abstract: A portable data storage device that has a main housing, a data storage module mounted in the main housing, a first protective swivel, and a second protective swivel. The data storage module has a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. The first protective swivel is U-shaped and has two ends pivotally connected to the main housing. The second protective swivel is U-shaped and has two ends pivotally connected to the first protective swivel. The first protective swivel and the second protective swivel are not removed from the main housing before using the portable data storage device, thus preventing from being loss. The first protective swivel and the second protective swivel cover the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector respectively and protect the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector from being damaged.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved file system format for an optical disc to help prevent illegal copying of multimedia content, where certain non-readable data record is placed into increased measured length of a multimedia data block; disc made pursuant to present format allows normal playback with very low level noise that would not affect the user enjoyment of viewing/listening the movie or music content on the multimedia disc.

Abstract: The method adapted for a disc burner for sensing/computing the maximum allowable capacity of a disc for overburn purpose where an accurate capacity of the disc based on the outermost-edge wobble signal is obtained, resulting in more data written on the disc with an amount of the data smaller than the physically-recordable maximum capacity of the disc and decreasing the failure rate of data overburning.

Abstract: A method of duplicating data to multiple random accessible storage devices has steps of reading one segment of source data having multiple segments, continuously detecting newly-connected random accessible storage devices, duplicating same segments to all connected random accessible storage devices, stopping duplicating the source data to any random accessible storage device that has stored all segments of the source data and repeating the steps from the beginning. When duplicating the source data to all connected random accessible storage devices, same segments of the source data are written to all connected random accessible storage devices. Therefore, a single writing task is proceeded in each writing session. The source data can be written to all random accessible storage devices at high speed. Consequently, efficiency of asynchronously duplicating data to multiple random accessible storage devices is increased.

Abstract: A burner system capable of inverting an optical disc has a control module, a burning module, a mechanical arm and an inverter. The control module controls the mechanical arm to grab the optical disc from a burner in the burning module and release the optical disc into the inverter. The optical disc passes through the inverter due to gravity, one side of the optical disc is tilted by the inverter so the optical disc is inverted. Therefore, the burner system automatically inverts the optical disc for double-sided data processing.

Abstract: A standalone duplication system with network connection has a casing, multiple recording devices, a control module, a bridge unit, a storage device and a network module, wherein the bridge unit connects between the control module, the storage device and the network module. When the bridge unit confirms that the control module has disconnected from the storage device and the network module receives a data transfer command, the storage device can receive data via the network module and store data for duplication. Therefore, the standalone duplication system is capable of receiving data from different computers over a network without using a high-end central processing unit (CPU). The standalone duplication system need not be moved to different places and connected to and disconnected from different personal computers again and again. Users operate their own personal computers to send required data to the standalone duplication system via the network.

Abstract: An integrated standalone optical disc duplication and labeling system has an optical disc drive, a main controller and a command module. The optical disc drive is capable of containing an optical disc and performing either a duplication capability or a labeling capability. The main controller is connected to and operates the optical disc drive. The command module is connected to the main controller and is capable of transmitting either a duplication designating command or a labeling designating command to the main controller. The duplication designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the duplication capability. The labeling designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the labeling capability. A user acquires a single standalone system that is able to perform both duplication and labeling.

Abstract: The present invention relates to design and construction of a mini and compact optical disc autoloader. By way of a flip-flop device positioned and pivoted between two disc trays, the robotic arm movement is simplified to a one-dimensional linear fashion and greatly reduces the cost of production and also cost of maintenance. The present invention also allows for multiple write drives to be easily built into present invention, creating an efficient duplicating system. It can be used for the home and small business environment for small volume optical duplication, storage and management.

Some disk stacks are situated on top of platform module. The use of a self-adaptive control algorithm, consisting of a Motion Strategy Database, Initial Process, Motion Planning Process, Motion Generation Process and Motion Monitor Process, to ascertain system configurations and components furthest satisfy the required flexibility for modifying/upgrading hardware or ever-changing user needs.
