  • Publication number: 20160138609
    Abstract: A fan frame module comprises a frame and a wire-stopping structure. In the frame, an outer wall is divided into a first side section, a first mid section, a central section, a second mid section and a second side section in a first direction. The extension direction of the major axis of the central section is parallel to the central axis of the frame, and the first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the major axis of the central section. A wire groove is formed on the first mid section to accommodate a wire. A fastening portion is disposed on one side of the wire groove. A positioning portion is disposed on the other one side of the wire groove. The wire-stopping structure is held by the fastening portion and the positioning portion, and fixed to the outer wall.

  • Publication number: 20160133231
    Abstract: In the disclosure, a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) configured to drive a display panel and an electronic apparatus having the DDIC would generate display data to constantly update information displayed on the display panel even when a processor is in a power save mode. The DDIC includes a first input terminal, a memory device, an information rendering unit, an information overlay unit, and a source driver. The first input terminal receives a subscribed signal. The memory device stores a background image. The information rendering unit is coupled to the first input terminal of the DDIC to receive the subscribed signal and renders subscribed information according to the subscribed signal. The information overlay unit receives the subscribed information from the information overlay unit and the background image from the memory device, and accordingly, the display data is generated without obtaining frame data from an external processor.

  • Patent number: 8923562
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) interactive device and an operation method thereof are provided. The 3D interactive device includes a projection unit, an image capturing unit, and an image processing unit. The projection unit projects an interactive pattern to a surface of a body, so that a user performs an interactive trigger operation on the interactive pattern by a gesture. The image capturing unit captures a depth image within an image capturing range. The image processing unit receives the depth image and determines whether the depth image includes a hand region of the user. If yes, the image processing unit performs hand geometric recognition on the hand region to obtain gesture interactive semantics. According to the gesture interactive semantics, the image processing unit controls the projection unit and the image capturing unit. Accordingly, the disclosure provides a portable, contact-free 3D interactive device.
