Patent number: 8750558Abstract: An electronic confidential document viewing method is performed by an electronic device in electronic communication with a pair of eyeglasses. In response to display a confidential document on a display device, a protection image is generated based on a security image of the confidential document. The protection image is a copy of the security image that is offset from the security image by a predetermined distance in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction. The security image and the protection image are synchronously transmitted to the display device. The display device displays an overlapping picture based on the two images. The eyeglasses receive the overlapping picture, and separate the overlapping picture into two images. One of the two images is viewable by the left eye of a viewer, and another image is viewable by the right eye of the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chung-I Lee, Chien-Fa Yeh, Shan-Chuan Jeng, Cheng-Feng Tsai

Publication number: 20140052734Abstract: In a method for creating data indexes for big data of a computing device, data lists are obtained from a data pool in a storage device, and a priority is set for each of the data lists. Data queues are created in the storage device, and the data lists are assigned to the data queues according to the set priorities. A node index is created for each data list stored in each of the data queues, and the data lists are deleted from the data queue after the node indexes creation. The method obtains a data list having a highest priority from the data pool if such a data list needs to be processed first, combines the node indexes to generate a root index for the data pool, and stores the root index of the data pool and the node indexes of the data lists in the storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: CHUNG-I LEE, CHIEN-FA YEH, CHENG-FENG TSAI, GEN-CHI LU
