Patent number: 9785344Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus and a touch detecting method thereof are provided. In the method, a touch is detected by a touch screen of the portable electronic apparatus. Then, whether the touch is located in an edge area of the touch screen is determined. If it is determined that the touch is located in the edge area of the touch screen, the touch time during which the touch continues and no other touch is detected by the touch screen is accumulated, and whether the accumulated touch time exceeds a preset time is determined. If the accumulated touch time exceeds the preset time, related information of the touch is removed from an event triggered by the touch until the touch ends.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Winbond Electronics Corp.Inventor: Chih-Jing Lai

Patent number: 9218325Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a font match technology, and in particular relate to a technology for performing font match with attribute values of a font. A method for font matching may include generating a two-dimensional link matrix based on available fonts and attribute values of the available fonts, receiving a font match query, and determining a font matching the received font match query from the available fonts by using the two-dimensional link matrix. Font matching may be implemented automatically, quickly, and accurately, without the need of manually randomly trying each font of a plurality of available fonts. Meanwhile, this method is independent from text processing software and may be called by any arbitrary text processing software (application). Moreover, this method allows the user to flexibly configure selection of the font attributes so as to perform font match more efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2015Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Xing W.

Publication number: 20140147101Abstract: An image rotation method and an image rotation system for a video player are provided. The image rotation method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image rotation request from a terminal is received. Then, a source video file is decoded and a rotation processing operation is performed on the decoded source video file in response to the image rotation request, so that a rotated image of the source video file is displayed. At last, the rotated image is displayed on a display device of the terminal. By the image rotation method and the image rotation system, the image in the video player can be rotated by a specified angle. Consequently, the problems of the conventional video player will be overcome. Moreover, since the problems of causing the compressed and distorted image are eliminated, the quality of the played and displayed image is enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2014Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: TENCENT TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: HONG-XING SU, SI-KE ZHONG, SEN LIN, JING LAI
