Abstract: An image pickup device uses an image recognition system to control the actuation of an electronic shutter. The image pickup device has an optical lens that picks up an image through the electronic shutter and the image so picked up is detected by an image detection device and converted into image data that are applied to a temporary image holding memory of a micro-controller. The micro-controller carries out comparison of the image of a selected target that is picked up the optical lens with respect to a recognizable characteristic image contained in a recognizable characteristic image database. If the image of the selected target so picked up is recognized to match the recognizable characteristic image, then the micro-controller sends out a shutter control signal to control the actuation of the electronic shutter via a shutter control circuit to photograph and store the image of the target in an image storage memory.

The computer of the computer multimedia system, after completing BIOS booting and operating system booting, enters a hot key standby state. In the hot key standby state, when a preset hot key is operated, the computer awakes from the hot key standby state and enters a multimedia operational state. The computer loads and executes the multimedia device driver to activate the multimedia device. Then, the computer loads and executes the multimedia device application program to operate the multimedia device.

Abstract: A method for executing computer function option with intelligent memory is provided, including loading the multimedia application program corresponding to the pressed function option button into the image file memory region of the system memory for execution when detecting a function option button is pressed. When the user shuts down a function option, the multimedia application program stops execution and is stored in an image file format into the pre-determined memory address in the data storage. When the computer detects the same function option button being pressed by the user for activation, the computer loads the program image file corresponding to the function option button into the image file memory region of the system memory, and executes the program image file.
