  • Publication number: 20100021019
    Abstract: An automatic photographing method with face recognition is applied in a camera having a detecting lens and a photographing lens for a user to photograph a target. First, detect a face of the user through the detecting lens, and obtain a plurality of face images of the detected face. Then, capture an image variance of the obtained face images, and photograph the target through a photographing lens when the captured image variance exceeds a photographing starting value. Therefore, during the whole photographing process, photographing can be achieved through determining variations of the face images of the user without pressing the shutter key of the camera, thereby completely preventing handshakes resulted from the pressing action, and thus improving the photographing quality.

  • Patent number: 7486272
    Abstract: An electronic device. A host connected to a display device is equipped with a communication module and an index module. The host is operative between a first mode (ON) and a second mode (OFF). The communication module comprises a first and second communication units. The index module comprises a first index unit connected to the host and a second index unit connected to the communication module. When the host is “ON”, the host is controlled by the first index unit and/or the second index unit. When the host is “OFF”, the first communication unit and/or the second communication unit is/are controlled by the second index unit, and thus the user can still manually perform phone, modem and facsimile functions.
