  • Publication number: 20070105499
    Abstract: The executing program method is applied to a Bluetooth dongle using a universal serial bus (USB) as its transmission interface. When the Bluetooth dongle is plugged in an electronic device, the electronic device will automatically detect the Bluetooth dongle. An application which is stored in a storage unit of the Bluetooth dongle is activated, and the Bluetooth dongle is also activated to link a Bluetooth device. The cache files produced by the application are pointed to store in the storage unit of the Bluetooth dongle. In addition, an auto-detecting program is executed to detect whether the Bluetooth dongle is removed or not every certain period. If the Bluetooth dongle was removed, the link from the Bluetooth dongle to the Bluetooth device will be terminated. The cache files in the Bluetooth dongle will be cleared. Finally, the application and the auto-detecting program are closed.

  • Patent number: 6668293
    Abstract: An auto-registration method for scanners. The method includes implanting a serial number into a scanner. When the scanner operates, the serial number is automatically retrieved. If the scanner is linked to a network, the serial number is transmitted to a documentary file inside a registration center through the net. On the other hand, if the scanner is not connected to a network, other data transmission means can be used to carry out the registration. According to the registered information, various post-registration services are executed.
