  • Publication number: 20250060624
    Abstract: A self-powered display device includes a display module and a power module. The display module is a cholesteric liquid crystal display module, and the power module is a solar cell module. The display module allows light to enter the power module from the front side, and the power module generates electricity upon receiving the light to provide the necessary energy for the display module to show images. The power module has multiple active areas and multiple inactive areas between the active areas. When the width of the inactive area is less than or equal to 50 ?m, the human eye will have difficulty discerning the width of the inactive area. Additionally, a shielding layer can be placed on the inactive area to ensure that the visual color difference (?E) between the inactive area and the active area does not exceed 10 color difference units, thereby improving the image quality.

  • Publication number: 20140164573
    Abstract: A data transmission system includes a plurality of electronic devices, an verification server, and at least one access server. The electronic devices are verified by the verification server, and a data transmission group formed by the verified electronic devices. A receiving end in the data transmission group sends a command to the rest of the electronic devices in the data transmission group by the verification server. When the rest of the electronic devices receive the command, the rest of the electronic devices output metadata to the access server. The receiving end receives the metadata via the access server. The receiving end requests the transmitting end in the data transmission group for a physical file according to the metadata. The transmitting end transmits the physical file to the access server, and the access server transmits the physical file to the receiving end.

  • Patent number: 7765393
    Abstract: An IBM PC compatible processing system typically has a BIOS installed as system firmware. During a boot process of the processing system, the BIOS loads a boot loader from one of the boot media, i.e., hard drives, floppy disks, CDs, USB flash memories, taps, etc. and passes control of the boot loader, the boot loader then loads an OS from the boot media. The present invention takes advantage of the higher reliability and availability provided by the system flash memory and stores a boot loader as system firmware in the system flash memory. Further, it provides changes in the BIOS boot process to load the boot loader from system memory, the ROM, for example, without relying on boot media. With this new process, the boot loader can be loaded even when the boot media is corrupt, defective or un-initialized.

  • Publication number: 20100103849
    Abstract: A power-saving control method for wireless LAN is applied to a portable electronic device, such as laptop computer. When the portable electronic device is booted and drives the wireless LAN device, the scan function of the wireless LAN device is disabled. Therefore, automatically scanning the wireless access point is avoided to save power. Moreover, after the wireless LAN link is established by the user, the scan function of the wireless LAN device is also disabled. Thus, the periodical automatic scanning the wireless access point is avoided to save power.
