  • Publication number: 20160026887
    Abstract: A method for generating an orientation image, adapted to an electronic device, includes the following steps. A plurality of input pixels including a current input pixel of an input image is received. Edge detection is performed on the current input pixel in a first and second direction to generate a first current gradient and a second current gradient respectively with respect to the first direction and the second direction. A ratio of the first current gradient to a current gradient absolute sum is calculated to obtain a current ratio, where the current gradient absolute sum is a sum of absolute values of the first and second current gradient. A sign of the second current gradient is extracted to obtain a current sign. The current ratio and the current sign are inputted to a lookup table to obtain an image orientation angle corresponding to the current input pixel.

  • Patent number: 8981244
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a forward/backward rotation switching mechanism, comprising: a cover, a turntable, a terminal-fixing body, a first contact terminal, and a second contact terminal. In the present invention, a plurality of dust-off trenches are especially formed on the peripheral edges of the turntable for preventing from the dust accumulation between the turntable and a cover; therefore, even if the forward/backward rotation switching mechanism is used in an environment having a lot of dust, the turntable can still be turned around because the dust is ruled out by the dust-off trenches.

  • Patent number: 8842204
    Abstract: An image capturing device, a dust removal system and a vibrating dust removal method thereof. The image capturing device comprises an image sensor, a vibrating dust removal unit, an optical component adapter, a detector, a touch screen and a controller. The image sensor receives an optical signal and converts the optical signal into an image signal. The vibrating dust removal unit produces a vibration to remove dust from the image sensor. The detector detects whether a detachable optical component is connected to the optical component adapter and generates a detecting signal. The touch screen displays the image signal and allows a user to designate a dust-removal position. The controller receives the detecting signal to enter into a dust-removal mode or controls the frequency or amplitude of the vibration produced by the vibrating dust removal unit according to the dust-removal position.

  • Publication number: 20140218278
    Abstract: A portable device and an operating method thereof are provided, wherein the portable device includes a key and a display, and the display is in a turned-off status. The operation method includes sensing an operating motion via the key, and producing a control signal to control the portable device according to the operating motion. The control signal turns on the display to show a read-only frame when the operating motion only includes a contact motion without inducing a physical displacement of the key. Alternatively, the control signal turns on the display to show an operational frame when the operating motion contains a contact motion and a physical motion inducing the physical displacement of the key.

  • Patent number: 8769188
    Abstract: The invention provides a nonvolatile memory controller. In one embodiment, the nonvolatile memory controller receives new data for writing a nonvolatile memory from a host, and comprises a signature calculating circuit, a signature buffer, a signature comparison circuit, a data comparison circuit, and a nonvolatile memory interface circuit. The signature calculating circuit calculates a first signature according to the new data. The signature buffer outputs a second signature corresponding to old data stored in the nonvolatile memory, wherein the old data has the same logical address as that of the new data. The signature comparison circuit determines whether the first signature is identical to the second signature. The nonvolatile memory interface circuit writes the new data to the nonvolatile memory when the first signature is determined to be different from the second signature by the signature comparison circuit.
