  • Patent number: 11964212
    Abstract: A game board device is provided for carrying and identifying game pieces that are divided into different piece types. The game board device includes a board, a plurality of optically identifying modules, and a processing module electrically coupled to the optically identifying modules. The optically identifying modules respectively correspond in position to detection regions of the board. Each of the optically identifying modules includes a light emitter that can emit light toward the corresponding detection region and a light receiver that can receive light reflected by the corresponding detection region. When any one of the detection regions is in an unoccupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module can emit an unoccupied signal. When any one of the detection regions is in an occupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module enables an identification signal that corresponds to the piece type of the corresponding game piece to be emitted therefrom.

  • Patent number: 9552779
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a display backlight control method are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a display, a processing unit, a read-only memory and a backlight controller. The read-only memory stores a basic input output system (BIOS) and a setting table. The setting table includes a plurality of backlight setting values corresponding to each of the displays. When the processing unit executes the BIOS, the processing unit identifies an identifier corresponding to the display connected to the electronic apparatus, so as to obtain the backlight setting values corresponding to the display according to the identifier and the setting table. Then the processing unit provides the backlight setting values to the backlight controller, and the backlight controller controls the backlight power of the display according to the backlight setting values.
