  • Patent number: 11832967
    Abstract: A wearable physiological signal detecting device includes a device main body and a telescopic structure. The device main body has a strap which surrounds to form a wearable space. The telescopic structure is disposed in the strap and has first surfaces and second surfaces. Each of the first surfaces faces the corresponding second surface. Each of the first surfaces and the corresponding second surface continuously move close and contact each other to assume a first state. The strap can be forced so that each of the first surfaces and the corresponding second surface move away from each other and have an angle to assume a second state. The size of the wearable space when the first surface and the corresponding second surface assume the second state is greater than the size of the wearable space when the first surface and the corresponding second surface assume the first state.

  • Patent number: 11578728
    Abstract: A fan module including a body and a plurality of blades is provided. The body has a rotating axis and the body is telescopic along the rotating axis to have an elongated state and a shortened state. The blades are respectively disposed on the body and rotate along with the body along the rotating axis. At least a portion of each blade is flexible and a bending state of each blade is changed along with the elongated state or the shortened state of the body. An axial size of each blade along the rotating axis when the body is in the elongated state is greater than the axial size of each blade along the rotating axis when the body is in the shortened state.

  • Patent number: 11531380
    Abstract: An electronic device including two bodies and at least one hinge structure is provided. The hinge structure includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a first rotation component, and a second rotation component. The hinge structure is connected to the two bodies via the first bracket and the second bracket respectively. The first rotation component is connected rotatably to the first bracket by taking a first axis as a rotation axis. The second rotation component is connected rotatably to the first rotation component by taking the first axis as a rotation axis, and is connected rotatably to the second bracket by taking a second axis as a rotation axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis are parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 11480190
    Abstract: A fan module including a first body, a second body, a first fan assembly, a power module, and a second fan assembly is provided. The second body is slidably disposed at the first body to form a circulation space together. The first fan assembly is rotatably disposed at the first body and has sliding grooves. The power module is disposed in the first body and connected to the first fan assembly. The second fan assembly is rotatably disposed at the second body and has sliding portions, respectively and slidably disposed in corresponding sliding grooves. The power module is adapted to drive the first and second fan assemblies to rotate relative to the first body. A link module is adapted to drive the first and second bodies to relatively slide along an axial direction, so that the first and second fan assemblies are relatively separated or overlapped along the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11435972
    Abstract: An immersive multimedia system, an immersive interactive method and a movable interactive unit are provided in the disclosure. The immersive multimedia system includes multiple movable interactive units, an imaging apparatus, and a computer device. The multiple movable interactive units are disposed on at least one of the wall and the ground. The imaging apparatus is adapted to display an image screen on at least one of the wall and the ground. The computer device is connected to the multiple movable interactive units and the imaging apparatus. The computer device is adapted to control the multiple movable interactive units and the imaging apparatus. The multiple movable interactive units each include a touch sensing unit, and the image screen provided by the imaging apparatus changes in response to the touch sensing unit of at least one of the multiple movable interactive units sensing being touched.

  • Patent number: 11116120
    Abstract: A positioning module includes a positioning element, an arc-shaped guiding unit, an actuating element, and a magnetic element. The positioning element is rotatably disposed at an object. The arc-shaped guiding unit is disposed between the positioning element and the object and is configured to enable the positioning element to rotate on an arc center of the arc-shaped guiding unit. The actuating element is connected to the positioning element and is configured to drive the positioning element. The magnetic element is disposed at another object and is configured to drive the actuating element. An engaging surface of the object is connected to another engaging surface of the another object, and a position of the actuating element corresponds to the magnetic element, so that a portion of the positioning element extends into another accommodation space of the another object. An electronic device having the positioning module is further provided.
