Abstract: A semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, active devices and transparent conductive patterns. The active devices are formed on the semiconductor substrate. The transparent conductive patterns are formed over the active devices and electrically connected to the active devices. The transparent conductive patterns are made of a metal oxide material. The metal oxide material has a first crystalline phase with a prefer growth plane rich in oxygen vacancy, and has a second crystalline phase with a prefer growth plane poor in oxygen vacancy.

Abstract: A flashing assist system is used in a digital image capture device that includes a camera module, a flash unit and a display. The camera module is capable of determining an object distance from the image capture device to an object. The flash unit is capable of providing varying flash intensity by determining a flash distance. The display is capable of displaying digital images and interactive information. The flash assist system includes a read unit, a determination unit and a generating unit. The read unit is configured for reading the object distance and the flash distance. The determination unit is configured for determining a target area of the flash unit using the object distance and the flash distance. The generating unit is configured for generating a preview of the object and the target area on the display.

Abstract: A digital image capture device includes a camera module, a face recognition module, a portrait capture module, a regulation module and a storage module. The camera module captures an image. The face recognition module recognizes any human face from the captured image. The portrait capture module copies the recognized face portion as a head portrait with a predetermined length-to-width ratio. The regulation module stores a plurality of groups of settings and regulates the copied head portrait according to a group of settings selected from the groups of settings. Each group of settings is compliant with requirements of a forum or an instant messaging program. The storage module stores the regulated head portrait.

Abstract: An image capturing device includes a clock and an operation scheduling system. The operation scheduling system includes a selecting module, a setting module, a first storing module, a determining module, and an executing module. The selecting module is configured for selecting an operation from a plurality of different operations according to a user's selection. The setting module is configured for scheduling a time according to users input. The first storing module is capable of storing the operation selected and the schedule set by users. The determining module is configured for monitoring the clock and determining when it is time to perform a scheduled operation according to the schedule. The executing module is configured for executing the operation until the time of the clock arrive to the scheduled time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling the picture capturing process of a digital camera, which includes the steps of: determining whether the digital camera is operating in an auto flash mode; when the digital camera is operating in the auto flash mode, then further determining whether a flash of the digital camera is charging; if the flash of the digital camera is charging, then further detecting whether the ambient light value is higher than a predetermined value; and if the ambient light value is higher than the predetermined value, then causing the digital camera to enter into a ready status that is capable of capturing pictures immediately.
