  • Patent number: 10516758
    Abstract: A method for providing personal information is proposed. A server unit receives preference information of a user from a terminal device, and matches the preference information with another user's preference information in a database according to a matching condition. The server unit provides the another user's preference information to the terminal device when the matching condition is satisfied by the preference information of the user and the another user.

  • Patent number: 10376068
    Abstract: A seat cushion includes a cushion body, a weight measuring unit coupled to the cushion body, a tilt adjusting unit, a storage unit storing pre-established mapping data, and a controlling unit. The weight measuring unit measures, when a user is sitting on the cushion body, weight of the user applied to the cushion body so as to generate a result of weight measurement. The controlling unit is connected to the weight measuring unit, the tilt adjusting unit and the storage unit, and controls, when the seat cushion is operated in an automatic mode, the tilt adjusting unit to adjust a seat angle of the cushion body with respect to a horizontal reference plane based on the result of weight measurement, a height value and the mapping data.

  • Publication number: 20180333843
    Abstract: The remote control system includes a server unit and a remote controlling device receiving input of a first action command. The remote controlling device transmits the first action command to a first controlled device so as to enable the first controlled device to perform a first action and to transmit a relevant notice to the server unit. The server unit transmits, when receiving the notice, to each of second controlled devices, a respective one of second action commands that is included in a second action command set corresponding to the first action command, and that enables the second controlled device to perform a second action corresponding to the respective one of the second action commands.

  • Patent number: 10019050
    Abstract: A method of power management to be implemented by an energy-consuming device includes the steps of: while the energy-consuming device is in an operating state, receiving an input associated with a time period; determining first energy consumption for operation in the operating state for the time period; determining second energy consumption for switching to a shutdown state; determining a smaller one between the first and second energy consumptions; maintaining operation in the operating state when it is determined that the first energy consumption is the smaller one; and switching to the shutdown state when it is determined that the second energy consumption is the smaller one.

  • Patent number: 9950249
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display unit, an input unit, a memory unit, a sensor unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The display unit is configured to display a question and answers corresponding to the question. The input unit is configured to allow user selection of one of the answers. The sensor unit is configured to detect movement of the electronic device. The control unit is configured to control the memory unit to record the one of the answers and to determine whether the movement meets a predetermined condition of shaking after the user selection is received by the input unit, and to control the communication unit to transmit the one of the answers when it is determined that the movement meets the predetermined condition.
