  • Publication number: 20250232128
    Abstract: A method and a system for triggering an intelligent dialogue through an augmented-reality image. A server receives location information and a reality image request sent by a user device, calculates, based on the location information, visual ranges corresponding to viewing angles for the location information, queries a database based on the calculated multiple visual ranges to obtain location-based data, and sends link information of the location-based data within each of the visual ranges to the user device. One of the visual ranges is displayed in a reality image interface. The user device marks one or more link icons linking the one or more pieces of location-based data, and provides an intelligent dialogue link point. When a user triggers the intelligent dialogue link point to generate an intelligent dialogue request, an intelligent dialogue program is started and a chatbot is introduced to generate a dialogue content.

  • Publication number: 20250156646
    Abstract: A method and a system for introducing an intelligent dialogue are provided. The system provides a cloud server that uses a processing circuit to perform the method. In the method, an online dialogue procedure is initiated, and a first chatbot is introduced. The first chatbot receives a user-input content via a dialogue interface, and semantic features of the user-input content, user data, and real-time environmental information obtained from an external system can be extracted. According to such information, a second chatbot of a specific domain can be introduced into the dialogue interface. A natural language model and a generative artificial intelligence technology operated in the second chatbot generate a dialogue content that matches the semantic features, a user preference, and the real-time environmental information. The dialogue content is outputted via the dialogue interface.

  • Publication number: 20250156645
    Abstract: A method for processing natural language messages and a natural-language-message processing system are provided. The system includes a cloud server. In the method, an online dialogue procedure is initiated for receiving user-input contents via a dialogue interface. An intelligent method is used to extract semantic features of the user-input content. A user preference and real-time environmental information can also be obtained. Then, contents that match the semantic features, the user preference, and the real-time environmental information can be determined. Dialogue contents can be generated by processing the contents with a natural language model. The dialogue content that matches the semantic features, the user preference, and the real-time environmental information is imported to the online dialogue procedure, and is outputted via the dialogue interface.

  • Publication number: 20220369607
    Abstract: A controllable and stable sinking/floating system for cage aquaculture is illustrated, which has a net cage and the sinking/floating units. The net cage comprises a frame and a net body installed on the frame. The sinking/floating units are installed on the frame, each of the sinking/floating units comprises a water storage chamber and a liquid flow controller, the water storage chamber has an inlet and an outlet, and the liquid flow controller controls water to flow out via the outlet from the water storage chamber or to flow into the water storage chamber via the inlet.

  • Patent number: 10430052
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for processing composited images. The method is operated in a computer. A software-enabled user interface is provided for a user to create a composited image using a touch screen. In the beginning, in response to the user's manipulation, at least two images are retrieved from a database. A background image and a foreground image are selected from the images. The user interface allows the user using a gesture over the background image displayed on the touch screen for generating a series of touch signals covering a specific area. The touch signals render a mask image. The mask is applied to the foreground image. The mask image of the background image covers the foreground image so as to create a new foreground image. The composited image is created when the new foreground image is composited with the background image.

  • Patent number: 9959637
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a computer apparatus for processing a border of a computer figure and merging the figure into a background image. In the method, a user interface is provided for the user to operate the computer figure through a touch screen. The computer figure is configured to be merged into a background image, or a specific image object. The computer figure is processed by performing a border-treatment algorithm when it is moved and combined with the background image. In the process of border-treatment, the graphic information of the background image is taken into consideration. The computer figure is allowed to be well merged into the background image by considering the background's graphic information when the images are combined. Therefore, a visual effect of fusing the images can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20140343461
    Abstract: A ligament laxity measuring system for measuring ligament laxity between a first limb and a second limb connected to each other includes a force module, an angle sensing module and a data processing module. The force module disposed on the first limb is adapted to provide an external force to make the first limb pivot or twist with respect to the second limb, thereby generating a pivoting (varus/valgus) value and a twisting (rotational) value. The force module generates a force signal based on the external force. Opposite two segments of the angle sensing module are disposed on the first limb and the second limb respectively. The angle sensing module is used for sensing the pivoting value and the twisting value of the first limb and generating an angle signal. The data processing module is connected to the force sensor of the force module and the angle sensing module.
