  • Patent number: 8594858
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling a heat-dissipating fan of a computer device, which is provided with a heat-dissipating fan, a controller, a first sensor unit, and a second sensor unit. The method of the present invention includes the following steps. First, the controller accepts a first signal and a second signal and controls the rotating speed of the heat-dissipating fan according to the first signal. Subsequently, the controller determines the first signal and the second signal. Next, the controller reduces the rotating speed of the heat-dissipating fan corresponding to the first signal to temporarily maintain the rotating speed at a constant to thereby reduce a noise value produced by the heat-dissipating fan.

  • Publication number: 20130121559
    Abstract: A method for determining an augmented reality scene by a mobile device includes estimating 3D geometry and lighting conditions of the sensed scene based on stereoscopic images captured by a pair of imaging devices. The device accesses intrinsic calibration parameters of a pair of imaging devices of the device independent of a sensed scene of the augmented reality scene. The device determines two dimensional disparity information of a pair of images from the device independent of a sensed scene of the augmented reality scene. The device estimates extrinsic parameters of a sensed scene by the pair of imaging devices, including at least one of rotation and translation. The device calculates a three dimensional image based upon a depth of different parts of the sensed scene based upon a stereo matching technique. The device incorporates a three dimensional virtual object in the three dimensional image to determine the augmented reality scene.
