Abstract: A device and method for controlling an electric lock control the electric lock by generating a password signal carrying an ID information from an electronic apparatus including a communication chip. The device includes an antenna unit, a communication unit, a processing module, and a memory unit. The processing module receives the password signal from the electronic apparatus via the communication unit and the antenna unit. The processing module controls a locked status of the electric lock based on the password signal. The ID information carried by the password signal is analyzed by the processing module and sent to the memory unit and stored therein to form a reference information. Once the processing module receives the password signal again, the processing module will determine whether to maintain or change the locked status of the electric lock based on a result of comparison of the password signal and the reference information.

Abstract: A material-loading control system and method are disclosed for controlling a track conveyor on a production line through a control unit. When materials are to be loaded, production information is first obtained from a production management system, and information of a tray to be loaded, information of a feeder in which the tray is loaded, and information of a corresponding station are identified. The various information are compared with the production information obtained to see whether they are matched or not. If they are not matched, the control unit is instructed to power off the track conveyor to stop the operation of the track conveyor. In addition, during subsequent production process, if a material-tossing action is detected in the production line, then the control unit is instructed to stop the operation of the track conveyor, thereby ensuring the correctness of tray changing and reducing the error rate in material loading.

Abstract: A method for starting an application smartly and power-efficiently is applicable to a portable electronic device installed with an application and hardware. The portable electronic device receives a voltage generated from a power supply, such as an internal battery power or an external power. After the portable electronic device has started, a connection between the application and the hardware is created. Upon detection that the voltage originates from the external power, the application is executed based on a preset schedule to start the hardware corresponding to the application until it is detected that the source of the voltage has been switched to the internal battery power. Upon the detection that the source of the voltage has been switched to the internal battery power, a user determines whether to change the state of use of the hardware, thereby rendering the portable electronic device smart and power-efficient.
