Patent number: 9338293Abstract: A communication device provides a face detection module and a face recognition module. The face detection module detects faces in a photo input by a user. The face recognition module searches the detected faces in a storage system of the communication device. If the detected faces do not exist in the storage system, the communication device prompts the user to edit communication information of the detected faces. If the user wants to dial a phone number, the communication device searches the storage system for the phone number of a selected face in a photo and dials the phone number. If a phone number is calling in, the communication device displays a photo corresponding to the phone number, and highlights a face corresponding to the phone number.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Yi-Chao Chen, Jin-Hau Kuo, Chung-Hsuan Kuo

Patent number: 9232186Abstract: A video terminal device includes a capture module, a detection module, a transmitting module, and a displaying module. The capture module takes images of the eyes of a user when the user is gazing at a display device to obtain three points of focus of the eyes, and confirms a circle bounding the three points of focus. The detection module detects whether an area of the applied circle is less than a first threshold. The transmitting module outputs coordinates of the center of the applied circle as an eyes direction when the area of the circle is less than the first threshold, enabling the participants in a conference to see the eyes direction of the presenter and the presenter to see the eyes directions of each of his audience.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: Chung-Hsuan Kuo
