Abstract: Systems and processes for generating audio books from text are provided. An example process includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory: receiving a text including at least a first subset and a second subset, wherein at least a portion of the first subset overlaps with at least a portion of the second subset; determining, based on the text, a prosody for a speech output, wherein the prosody is representative of a genre; determining a semantic meaning of the text; and generating, based on the prosody and the semantic meaning, the speech output of the text.

Abstract: A control method for a storage device of a driving recorder includes: planning a directory entry of a storage device according to a predetermined directory entry stored in a storage unit; planning a file allocation table of the storage device according to a predetermined file allocation table stored in the storage unit; and controlling a controller to write data to the storage device according to the directory entry and the file allocation table.

Abstract: A method for synchronization of system management data includes steps of generating a request for system management data in response to execution of a system booting program, transmitting the request to a baseboard management controller so as to enable the baseboard management controller to transmit the system management data stored in a second storage unit to a processor; receiving the system management data from the baseboard management controller, and determining whether the system management data is complete; and when it is determined that the system management data is complete, storing at least one of the sequential packets of the system management data in a first storage unit, and proceeding with execution of the system booting program.
