  • Patent number: 11926266
    Abstract: An installing module includes a seat bracket, a plurality of lower gaskets, a device bracket and an upper gasket. The seat bracket includes a first locking plate and a second locking plate locked to each other. The first locking plate includes a first concave and the second locking plate includes a second concave corresponding to the first concave. The lower gaskets are respectively disposed on the first concave and the second concave. The lower gaskets face each other and jointly define a lower assembly hole and are disposed on a lower side of a head-support fixer of a car seat. The device bracket is locked to the seat bracket and an electronic device is pivotally coupled to the device bracket. The upper gasket is disposed between the device bracket and the head-support fixer, and the head-support fixer is clamped between the upper gasket and the lower gaskets.

  • Publication number: 20220035751
    Abstract: The invention provides method and system for improving efficiency of protecting multi-content process. The system may cooperate with a memory, and may comprise one or more hardware IPs (intellectual properties) for content processing, one of the one or more IPs may be associated with multiple access identities. The memory may comprise multiple different ranges, each range may register an access of one of the multiple access identities as a permissible access. The method may comprise: selecting one of the access identities for processing a first content, and using the selected access identity when said IP accesses the memory during processing of the first content; selecting a different one of the access identities for processing a second content, and using the selected different access identity when said IP accesses the memory during processing of the second content.
