  • Patent number: 11723567
    Abstract: An emotion detecting device includes a memory, a processor and an output/input device. An emotion template with a plurality of emotional statuses is stored in the memory. The processor is configured to receive characteristic values transformed from brain waves of a pet and determine whether the brain waves correspond to a stable state based on variation of the characteristic values during a period. When it is determined that the brain waves correspond to the stable state, the processor determines whether the brain waves match some emotional status among the emotional statuses. When the brain waves match the emotional status, the output/input device outputs information regarding the pet being in the emotional status. When the brain waves do not match any of the emotional statuses in the emotion template, the processor updates the emotion template based on a confirm operation and the characteristic values.

  • Patent number: 11305435
    Abstract: A robot includes a sensing circuit, a driving circuit, and a processor. The sensing circuit includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to receive a first sensing signal and the second sensor is configured to receive a second sensing signal. The driving circuit is configured to control an operation of a roller circuit and to control a forward direction of the roller circuit. The processor is coupled to the sensing circuit and the driving circuit. When the processor determines that, according to the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, a sensing target is a bridge, the processor controls the roller circuit through the driving circuit to adjust the forward direction, such that the robot gets across the bridge.

  • Patent number: 8665370
    Abstract: A method for synchronized playback of wireless audio and video is applicable to a playback system. The method for synchronized playback includes steps of receiving and processing multimedia data by the playback system, in which the multimedia data includes video data and audio data; wirelessly transmitting the audio data to a loudspeaker and meanwhile holding the video data for a threshold time; and finishing the transmission of the audio data when the threshold time is reached, so that the video data and the corresponding audio data are synchronously played. The method for synchronized playback can control the delay caused by the wireless audio transmission, thus achieving the objective of synchronously playing the audio and video data.
