  • Publication number: 20120262578
    Abstract: A vehicular around-view driving monitor and recorder includes a plurality of wide-angle cameras, a real-time image monitoring and recording/playing unit, a visual image operation system, and a display device, which enables a real-time monitoring and recording of around-view raw image data shot by wide-angle cameras. The present invention also performs a real-time visual processing which includes data correction toward the twisted raw images, image overlapping and a combination of algorithmic operation via the visual image operation system to convert those raw images shot from cameras into round-view ones shown on the display which fits the driver's visual practice and driving habit, and provides better safety, correct and convenient visual assistance and driving judgment. Alternatively, the processed images could be displayed in a bird-view mode to have an additional circumferential reference.

  • Publication number: 20120019586
    Abstract: Disclosed are an automatic printing output inspection device for optic disc and a printer and a disc writer incorporating the device. The automatic inspection device includes an image taking unit that takes an image of printing output of an optic disc, which is then processed by an image processing unit and compared by a comparison and identification unit with an original source of patterns to determine printing quality of the image. When it is determined that the printing quality does not match the original source, an alarm and feed-back unit is actuated to issue alarm notification for facilitating subsequent handling. Through the automatic inspection, printing quality of an optic disc can be efficiently inspected and products with poor printing can be identified for timely notification that helps saving waste of material, improving efficiency of printing output of optic disc, and saving human labor and time for inspection.

  • Publication number: 20110261669
    Abstract: Provided is an optic disc copying device with voice output, including an optic disc drive, at least one disc burner, and a copying controller. The copying controller includes a voice output circuit module for retrieving, from an optic disc loaded in either the optic disc drive or the disc burner, voice data, which after being processed and converted, are output to realize a voice output function. As such, after a copying operation, a newly copied optic disc can be immediately displayed for aural inspection of the music or sounds/voices contained in the disc and the device also shows a function of music displaying.

  • Publication number: 20110225332
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data transmission device with high speed serial transmission interfaces and control method thereof, and includes a control unit, at least one first storage device connected to the control unit and at least one second storage device, at least one switching device, which is used to switch data transmission lines; each of the switching devices being connected to the control unit, the second storage device and a computer. Accordingly, the switching devices enable the storage devices to connect to the computer to implement data transmission, or the switching devices switch connection to form an independently operable data transmission control system to enable implementing data transmission between the storage devices. Moreover, an automatic detection mode and a manual mode can be used to control connection to the computer or enable independent operation of the data transmission device.
