Patent number: 11219309Abstract: The disclosure provides a smart liquor cabinet and a management method for the liquor cabinet. In the management method, a voice command is received and an intent of the voice command is determined. If the intent of the voice command is related to a remaining space of the liquor cabinet, then the remaining space with no liquor in the liquor cabinet is determined. If the intent of the voice command is related to an inventory situation of the liquor cabinet, then the inventory situation of stored liquor in the liquor cabinet is determined. The response of the intent is outputted. The response is related to the remaining space or the inventory situation. In this way, the liquor and space in the liquor cabinet may be counted easily and quickly.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Yu-Chung Lo, Kai-Yi Chen, Li-Yuan Hsu, Yi-Wen Wang, Hsiu-Hang Lin

Patent number: 10719138Abstract: An interactive electronic apparatus and an interactive method thereof are provided. The interactive electronic apparatus includes a main device and a casing. The main device is installed in a containing space of the casing. After the main device establishes a connection with the casing, the casing sends at least one of a first distance between the casing and an object to be sensed by a first distance sensor and a second distance between a bottom portion of the casing and a plane detected by a second distance sensor to the main device. The main device determines an interactive state of interaction with the interactive electronic apparatus based on at least one of a movement information sensed by a gravity sensor, the first distance and the second distance, and sends an interactive signal corresponding to the interactive state.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Cheng-Yuan Wei, Kai-Yi Chen, Wen-Yi Chiu, Hsiu-Hang Lin, Sheng-Chieh Tang, Kun-Hsuan Chang

Patent number: 10621897Abstract: A display device and a display method are provided. The display device comprises a housing, a translucent module, a projecting unit and an object detection sensor. The housing comprises a containing space. The translucent module is disposed on the surface of the housing. The projecting unit is disposed in the containing space, and coupled to a controller. The projecting unit is configured to project projection light to the translucent module. The object detection sensor is disposed on the display device and coupled to the controller. When the object detection sensor senses that a moving object exists in a first preset distance range away from the housing, the object detection sensor outputs an object sensing signal to the controller. The controller controls the projecting unit and the translucent module based on the object sensing signal, so as to project a projection picture.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Hsiu-Hang Lin, Pin-Yu Chou, Kai-Yi Chen, Kun-Hsuan Chang, Hsin-Chieh Cheng, Yu-Hao Tseng, Chia-Shin Weng, Dai-Yun Tsai

Patent number: 9685805Abstract: An assembled electronic apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The assembled electronic apparatus includes a first body and a second body. A second processor shares a partial content of a sensing record generated by a sensing module through a second information sharing module. The first body and the second body are connected with each other through the first connector and the second connector. After being connected with each other, a message is transmitted by one of the first processor and the second processor to another one of the first processor and the second processor, so that a function is executed by the another one of the first processor and the second processor through the corresponding first processor or the corresponding second processor according to the message. The first processor shares a content of the sensing record generated by the sensing module through a first information sharing module.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Kai-Yi Chen, Hsiu-Hang LIn, Ching-Wen Sun, Pin-Yu Chou, Yu-Tzu Hsu, Chia-Ni Chen, Wei-Cheng Chuang, Ming-Feng Liu
