Abstract: Precise analysis and description of movement and gestures by a human or other object are carried out by a computing device assisted by camera and distance sensors. The same gestures and movements of an object in different locations and in different orientations may be identified according to coordinates and offsets applied to coordinates, and gesture-making areas projected so as to surround the object. The techniques can accurately identify actions of movements of the human or other object.

Abstract: A method for logging into a number of applications of an electronic device includes obtaining a login facial image of a user when the user opens a first application of the number of applications, determining whether the login facial image matches a preset facial image stored in the electronic device, and logging into the first application when the login facial image matches the preset facial image. The preset facial image is linked to each of the number of applications. The electronic device automatically logs into the rest of the applications when the rest of the applications are opened, after the login facial image matches the preset facial image to log into the first application.

Abstract: A method of managing video conference includes requesting the server for each IP address of each of the remote electronic devices. The server transmits an IP address of each of the remote electronic devices to a local electronic device. According to the received IP addresses, connections are established between the local electronic device and each of the remote electronic devices. An image of a user of the local electronic device is acquired. Images of remote users of the remote electronic devices sent by the remote electronic devices are received. The acquired image and the received images are merged into an image for the user of the local electronic device.

The acquired image and the received images are merged into a first image for a user of the local electronic device and a second image for the remote users of the remote electronic devices. The second image is transmitted to the remote electronic devices.

Abstract: Method of transmitting ancillary files to users in support of main files includes acquiring information as to what is read by users within a predetermined period of time. According to the information as to what is read by users, the users are classified into groups using a clustering method. A current user is determined and a group that comprises the current user is determined. Target files read by the other users in the determined group are transmitted for the current user.

Abstract: Method of transmitting files includes acquiring files read by users within a predetermined interval and acquiring file information of the acquired files and user information of users. According to the file information and the user information, the acquired files are classified into groups. Association rules are determined among the groups using a data mining algorithm. A current file read by a current user is acquired. And a group which comprises the current file is determined. According to specified association rules between the determined group and the other groups excepting the determined group, target files are transmit for the current user.

Abstract: In a file searching method using a computing device, the computing device connects to one or more terminal devices. An electronic file is obtained from a database when a file name is inputted from one of the terminal devices, and the file is analyzed to obtain a title and text content of the file. One or more keywords are extracted from each of the text content of the file using a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) rule. One or more interested terms are obtained from the keywords according to an importance factor of each of the keywords. The method obtains search results from the database according to the interested terms, and ranks the files according to a relevance degree between each file in the search results and the interested terms. The computing device sends the files with a ranking order to the terminal device.

Abstract: A method for managing geographical information of a plurality of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) terminal devices using a VoIP server receives location information of the VoIP terminal devices from the VoIP terminal devices, stores geographical information of the VoIP terminal devices into a data sheet stored in a storage device of the VoIP server. The method detects a query from one of the VoIP terminal devices, retrieves the geographical information from the data sheet according to the query, and obtains an electronic map from the storage device. The method further populates the retrieved geographical information on the electronic map, and sends the electronic map to the VoIP terminal device corresponding to the location information.

Abstract: A method to identify a shake gesture using an electronic device. The electronic device reads reference acceleration values from an accelerometer of the electronic device when a user shakes the electronic device to establish the shake gesture. The electronic device generates the shake gesture by a sorting algorithm according to the reference acceleration values and associates the shake gesture with an application. The electronic device starts the application corresponding to the shake gesture.

Abstract: A method for controlling electronic devices using a handheld device, one or more electronic devices are searched in a current location. The method obtains configuration documents of different locations from a storage device of the handheld device, determines a configuration document which has the most quantity or ratio of the searched electronic devices, and obtains an indicating direction of the handheld device. The method further compares the indicating direction of the handheld device with a display direction of each of electronic devices recorded in the determined configuration document, determines a matched electronic device corresponding to the indicating direction of the handheld device, and controls the matched electronic device to perform corresponding functions according to movement data or touch operations of the handheld device.

Abstract: In a method of a computing device for processing a foreground color of an image, pixels of the image are sampled according to a predetermined sampling ratio. An RGB value of each sampled pixel of the image is counted, and an ideal pixel value of each of the R value, the G value and the B value is determined. A background color of the image is selected from a predetermined color palette according to the ideal pixel value of each of the R value, the G value and the B value. A complementary color of the background color is calculated. A foreground color of the image is selected from the color palette according to the complementary color.

Abstract: A video monitoring server and method are provided. The video monitoring server generates a monitoring list and controls a streaming media server to convert video captured by a camera into streaming media. The video monitoring server downloads the streaming media from the streaming media server and selects a picture from the downloaded streaming media as an icon of a monitoring record corresponding to the camera. The video monitoring server sends the monitoring list to an electronic device, and notifies the streaming media server to send the streaming media to the electronic device when a user clicks the icon of the monitoring record corresponding to the camera.
