Abstract: A wireless mobile device, a system and a method of broadcasting wireless streaming media are disclosed, where the device includes an eavesdropping module, a packet-filtering module and a streaming player unit. The eavesdropping module can eavesdrop packets of streaming data through a wireless network. The packet-filtering module can determine whether the packets of the streaming data have identification information. When the packets of the streaming data have the identification information as determined, the packet-filtering module can allow the streaming data to be passed. The streaming player unit can play media based on the passed streaming data.

Abstract: A video recording apparatus includes a graphics card, a hardware recorder card and a storage device. The graphics card is used to generate a video signal. The hardware recorder card and the graphics card are both placed in a computer. The hardware recorder card includes a video loop-through unit and a bridge. The video loop-through unit captures the video signal from the graphics card and distributes the video signal to the bridge and a display. The storage device is electrically connected to the bridge, and is used to store the video signal via the bridge.

Abstract: A power control method used with a TV module of a portable electronic apparatus is used for selectively entering the TV module in a power-saving mode. At first, the portable electronic apparatus is activated. When the portable electronic apparatus is activated, the power supply condition of the portable electronic apparatus is detected. If the power supply condition of the portable electronic apparatus indicates that an external power source is used, the power-saving mode of the TV module is suspended. Optionally, the power-saving mode of the TV module is suspended if a priority setting condition indicates that play efficiency takes priority.
