  • Publication number: 20120047521
    Abstract: A method for data collection using an electronic device operates in a network. The electronic device stores stacks and one of the stacks stores a database and a service agent. The service agent associates objects related to the service agent. The electronic device determines whether the instance identifications associated with the service agent are deleted from a database. If the instance identifications associated with the service agent have been deleted, a Remote Procedure Call protocol command is sent to the service agent. Accordingly, the electronic device can determine the objects detected corresponding to instance identifications stored in the Remote Procedure Call protocol command.

  • Publication number: 20110202692
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a computer peripheral apparatus. The computer peripheral apparatus includes an USB hub, at least one build-in card reader, and a controller. Each build-in card reader is electrically connected to one built-in downstream port of the USB hub. The controller connects to the USB hub and the build-in card reader to monitor the connection requirement of the build-in card reader. When the controller determines the build-in card reader does not need to be kept connected, the controller sets the status of its corresponding built-in downstream port as a “first status,” which defines the corresponding built-in downstream port is not connected. Thus, the computer system is informed that the built-in downstream port is not connected.

  • Publication number: 20110187870
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a video/audio module applied to a computer system. The video/audio module includes a circuit board, at least one analog microphone unit, and at least one analog-to-digital converter. The analog microphone unit and the analog-to-digital converter are electrically connected and fixed to the circuit board. The analog microphone unit captures an audio signal from ambient air and converts it to an analog audio signal. The analog-to-digital converter receives the analog audio signal and transforms the analog audio signal into a digital audio signal. Because of the analog-to-digital converter, a digital microphone unit can be replaced by the analog microphone unit, thereby reducing the production cost of the video/audio module.

  • Publication number: 20100088454
    Abstract: A bridging device with power-saving function includes first and second interfaces, first and second physical layer processing devices, and a controller. The first interface is utilized for coupling a first external device complying with the first interface. The first external device receives a device request signal, and accordingly sends back a device response signal through the first physical layer processing device. The second interface is utilized for coupling a second external device complying with the second interface. The controller is coupled between the first and the second physical layer processing device for transmitting the device request signal with the predetermined frequency to the first physical layer processing device in order to receive the device response signal. When the controller does not receive the device response signal, the controller turns the second physical layer processing device off.
