  • Patent number: 8412455
    Abstract: In a voice-controlled navigation device and method, a voice command is received, and divided into voice segments Vi (i=1˜n) by comparing with one or more keywords. A voice segment Vi (i=1˜n) is obtained in sequence to be compared with tree nodes in a search tree of place names. A weight value of each tree node is computed according to a comparison, to select one or more tree nodes whose weight values are greater than a predetermined value. Routes formed by all the selected tree nodes are obtained to select a route whose total weight value is the greatest. A navigation to a destination is given by indicating the selected route on an electronic map according to place names represented by the tree nodes of the selected route.

  • Patent number: 8340007
    Abstract: A wireless device triggers pairing or un-pairing between the wireless device and another wireless device. The wireless device further exchanges media access control (MAC) addresses, pairing magic numbers (PMNs), and pairing indices with the another wireless device so as to establish the pairing with the another wireless device upon the condition that the wireless device triggers the pairing. The wireless device further exchanges the MAC addresses, the PMNs, and the pairing indices with the another wireless device so as to establish the unpairing with the another wireless device upon the condition that the wireless device triggers the unpairing. The pairing magic numbers are operable to identify the pairing between the wireless device and the another wireless device. The pairing indices are operable to launch the MAC addresses, the PMNs, and the pairing indices.

  • Publication number: 20120143494
    Abstract: A tracking detection and alarm method which is applied to a navigation device use a number of positioning data points retrieved from a navigation module of the navigation device. A number of deflections and a number of average speeds that correspond to the position data points are calculated and generated. A number of maximum deflections are calculated and generated according to the average speeds. When a deflection of a positioning data point is greater than a maximum safe deflection thereof, one is added to a frequency of unsafe driving instances. When the frequency of unsafe driving instances is greater than a preset threshold value, an unsafe driving alarm is activated.

  • Publication number: 20120041760
    Abstract: In a voice recording equipment and method, voice data from a speaker is received using a microphone. Threshold values T1 and T2 of surrounding environment of the voice recording equipment are determined. If an intensity of the voice data is less than or equal to the threshold value T2, the voice recording is stopped and the speaker is informed that the voice data is not useful. If the intensity of the voice data is greater than the threshold values, the voice data is stored into a storage unit.
