  • Patent number: 10394448
    Abstract: A direction-based text input method, a system and computer-readable recording medium using the same are proposed in the disclosure. The method is applicable to a system having a display and an input device and includes the following steps. A virtual keyboard is displayed on a frame of the display, where the virtual keyboard includes multiple input sets, each of the input sets includes candidate texts, and the input sets include a current input set having current candidate texts. A first moving direction and a second moving direction of the input device respectively with respect to a first axis and a second axis are detected so as to accordingly generate an input text, where the first moving direction is associated with a selection among the current candidate texts, and the second moving direction is associated with a confirmation or a cancellation of the selected current candidate text.

  • Publication number: 20140153465
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a portable routing device. One of the main features of the present invention is that the present invention utilizes a domain name signal as a switch on signal of a routing module of the portable routing device to maintain the off status of the routing module so as to saving power thereby. In another way, the present invention further capable of switching off the routing function thereof by determining if any network source having a higher priority exists so as to save the unnecessary waste of power. By avoiding the unnecessary routing action, the present invention is capable of saving power without affecting the normal use of the user.

  • Publication number: 20130063945
    Abstract: A bulb-type LED lamp having a replaceable light source module includes a lamp head module, a lamp casing module and a light source module. The lamp head module has an electrical-conductive connection portion. One end of the lamp casing module is connected to the lamp head module. The light source module comprises a substrate, a plurality of LEDs electrically connected to the substrate, and a sleeve disposed in the lamp casing module to be electrically connected to the substrate. The sleeve has an electrical-conductive insertion portion assembled with the electrical-conductive connection portion. By this structure, a damaged light source module can be replaced rapidly. A user needs not to by a new whole set lamp so as to save the cost maintenance. Further, a surface thermal contact is generated between the metallic pressing plate and the heat-conducting plate to increase the heat-conducting area and efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8358808
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and tracking objects, such as motor vehicles, within video data. The systems and method analyze video data, for example, to count objects, determine object speeds, and track the path of objects without relying on the detection and identification of background data within the captured video data. The detection system uses one or more scan lines to generate a spatio-temporal map. A spatio-temporal map is a time progression of a slice of video data representing a history of pixel data corresponding to a scan line. The detection system detects objects in the video data based on intersections of lines within the spatio-temporal map. Once the detection system has detected an object, the detection system may record the detection for counting purposes, display an indication of the object in association with the video data, determine the speed of the object, etc.

  • Publication number: 20110181126
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and device for current measuring, controlling, and heat sinking which includes a positive electrode terminal carrier, a positive electrode output terminal carrier, a negative electrode terminal carrier, and a current control circuit carrier. The system and device is to be installed on a battery with high current capacity. In which the output current flowing through the battery's positive electrode is measured by the current measurement device which is installed in the positive electrode terminal carrier. A reverse current control switch and a forward current control switch are installed in the current control circuit carrier to control the current flowing path and the current flowing in the path. Furthermore the heat generated by the circuit is radiated by the current control circuit carrier.
