  • Publication number: 20170162075
    Abstract: A diet ingestion analyzing method is provided. The diet ingestion analyzing method includes the following steps. A plurality of nutrition amounts of a plurality of diet records are calculated according to a food nutrition database. A plurality of specific diet records corresponding a specific time are obtained from the diet records. A nutrition ingestion ratio of a total of a plurality of nutrition amounts of the specific diet records to a total of the nutrition amounts of the diet records is generated. A nutrition recommendation is generated according to a nutrition recommended range and the nutrition ingestion ratio. A plurality of selected records is selected from the specific diet records. Whether each of a plurality of nutrition amounts of the selected records is abnormal or not is determined according to the nutrition recommendation. A diet model is constructed and an abnormal food is marked according to the selected records.

  • Patent number: 8452802
    Abstract: A distributed audio visual (AV) system including a plurality of media servers, a media renderer, and a control point which are connected to each other via a peer-to-peer network is provided. Each of the media servers includes a content directory management unit (CDMU) and a query content information (QCI) module, wherein the CDMU includes a synchronizer module and a content information maintainer (CIM) module. The synchronizer module synchronizes content information of AV contents stored in all the media servers. The CIM module records the content information and establishes an integrated content directory list according to the content information. The QCI module queries the content information. The control point obtains the integrated content directory list from one of the media servers and queries the content information related to all the AV contents, so as to control the media renderer to play the AV contents.

  • Patent number: 7720882
    Abstract: A data file management and search method based on file attributes is disclosed. At least one data file, externally imported or generated by a user, is retrieved. Attributes of the data file are edited, a virtual catalog corresponding to the data file is generated, and a catalog tree is built according to the data file and the virtual catalog. The virtual catalog and the data file are displayed by a user interface. A search operation is performed based on a search command to locate at least one required virtual catalog or data file among multiple data files and virtual catalogs. A basic operation is implemented on the located virtual catalog or data file.

  • Publication number: 20090150332
    Abstract: A virtual file managing system including a file request managing unit, an information repository, a file namespace managing unit, and a file access managing unit is provided. The file request managing unit receives a file access request issued by a client, and returns a processing result of the file access request. The information repository stores a data structure of the virtual file managing system. The file namespace managing unit looks up address and path content of the file from the information repository according to the file access request. The file access managing unit performs an operation of accessing a file according to the address and path content of the file.
