  • Patent number: 10802126
    Abstract: An electronic device including a sound receiver and a processor is provided. The sound receiver receives a sound signal provided by a sound generator. When the processor determines that an obstacle is blocked between the electronic device and the fixed device, the processor estimates a virtual position of the electronic device at a current time according to previous movement information and a previous position of the electronic device. The virtual position has a shortest path between a boundary position of the obstacle and the sound generator. The processor obtains a first relative distance between the electronic device and the boundary position according to the sound signal received by the sound receiver and the boundary position. The processor calculates a relative velocity and a relative acceleration of the electronic device relative to the fixed device at the current time according to the sound signal and the first relative distance.

  • Patent number: 8523361
    Abstract: A projection device with an illumination adjustment function includes a polarization beam splitter (PBS), a display, a light source, a lens module, a power supply unit, a light detection unit and a power controller. The light source emits light to the PBS. The lens module projects the images to be displayed by the display. The power supply unit supplies power for the light source. The light detection unit acquires a digital value of a portion of the light transmitted from the PBS, and compares the digital value with a predetermined digital value to generate a control signal. The power controller adjusts power from the power supply unit to the light source according the control signal until the digital value matches the predetermined digital value of the light from the light source.

  • Publication number: 20120330663
    Abstract: An identity authentication method is applied on a system. The system is connected to an external storage device storing a first voice model. The system includes an information server and a terminal. The information server includes a database. The information server executes the following steps. First, receiving the first voice model transmitted by the terminal. Second, determining whether the first voice model matches one second voice model, and transmitting the verification result to the terminal. The terminal executes the following steps. First, generating a prompt to prompt the user to input voice signals. Second, receiving the input voice signals. Third, extracting voice features from the input voice signals. Fourth, determining whether the extracted voice features matches the first voice model. Fifth, determining the verification result is successful when matches, and determining the identity authentication is success only when two verification results are both successful.

  • Patent number: 8339525
    Abstract: A projection device with a brightness adjustment function includes a polarization beam splitter (PBS), a light source, a reflective display, a lens module, a power supply unit, a light detection unit and a power controller. The light source emits light to the PBS. The PBS reflects a portion of the light to the reflective display, and transmits a remaining portion of the light. The lens module projects the images. The light detection unit acquires a digital value of a portion of the light reflected by the PBS that is not received by the reflective display, and compares the digital value with a predetermined digital value to generate a control signal. The power controller for adjusts power from the power supply unit to the light source according to the control signal until the digital value matches the predetermined digital value of the light from the light source.

    Abstract: A voice control device includes a storage module, a voice recording module, and a processing module. The storage module stores a number of computerized voice commands. The voice recording module records audio signals of a user. The processing module processes the recorded voice signals to a machine readable command, determines whether the determined machine readable command matches one stored computerized voice command, and controls the device to execute a function according to the machine readable command if the determined machine readable command matches one stored computerized voice command. The processing module stores the determined machine readable command as a history command. The processing module further obtains all the history commands and determines which function the voice controlled device is to do according to the history commands if the determined machine readable command is partially the same as at least two of the stored computerized voice commands.
