  • Patent number: 9338293
    Abstract: A communication device provides a face detection module and a face recognition module. The face detection module detects faces in a photo input by a user. The face recognition module searches the detected faces in a storage system of the communication device. If the detected faces do not exist in the storage system, the communication device prompts the user to edit communication information of the detected faces. If the user wants to dial a phone number, the communication device searches the storage system for the phone number of a selected face in a photo and dials the phone number. If a phone number is calling in, the communication device displays a photo corresponding to the phone number, and highlights a face corresponding to the phone number.

  • Patent number: 8751023
    Abstract: An audio playback positioning method. A processor retrieves audio data from a memory, divides a progress bar showing playback time of the audio data into segments, utilizes a length of a progress bar segment as a unit to perform playback skipping on the audio data, and retrieves an audio data segment through the skipping. The processor further divides a progress bar segment corresponding to the retrieved audio data segment into sub-segments in response to input operations, and utilizes the length of a sub-segment as a unit to perform playback skipping on the retrieved audio data segment to retrieve and perform playback operation on a target position thereon.

  • Publication number: 20080232697
    Abstract: A system to display automatically organized images coordinating with pace of background music is disclosed. Users only need to give images and a music clip, and the system will automatically generate a presentation that combines visual and aural effects to display the organized images synchronously accompanying the music. Multiple images that have similar characteristics are well arranged and displayed at the same frame to emphasize the atmosphere of viewing experience. In addition, collaborative presentation of images that is synchronous to music even improves the enjoyment of image browsing.
