  • Patent number: 9578239
    Abstract: A controlling method suitable for an electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a camera module and a switch button. The controlling method includes following steps. A holding duration is measured started from a first time point when the switch button is pressed down. In response to the holding duration ends within a first threshold period, a singular image is generated. In response to the holding duration exceeds the first threshold period and ends within a second threshold period from the first time point, a series of burst images during the holding duration is generated. In response to the holding duration exceeds the second threshold period, a series of burst images during the second threshold period is generated, and also a video is generated.

  • Patent number: 9201947
    Abstract: Methods and systems for media file management are provided. When a plurality of media files in the electronic device are viewed, media data is real-time generated for the media files. In the generation of the media data, the media files are analyzed to obtain a theme for the media files. Then, a script file is identified according to the theme, and media data is produced for the media files according to the script file. In some embodiments, a frame buffer used for storing the media data is refreshed after each frame of the media data is rendered.
