  • Patent number: 10908661
    Abstract: A method is provided for optimizing fan speed control of a computer system that includes a fan unit, a temperature sensor, a control unit to control operation of the fan unit, and a disk storage unit. A forbidden range corresponding to a range for a fan speed is determined based on a relationship between fan speed and vibration of the disk storage unit. An optimized fan control table is generated based on a reference table relating to a relationship between ambient temperature and fan speed. The optimized fan control table is generated by making a part of the ambient temperature values in the reference table change to corresponding to a predetermined fan speed not smaller than a fan speed value corresponding to an upper limit of the forbidden range.

  • Patent number: 7512490
    Abstract: A method for reminding of entering a target route is disclosed. First, the method provides a Point of Interest (POI) at a conjunction of the present route and the target route and sets the POI as a basic voice reminding point. Next, the method determines whether the actual distance between the present position and the basic voice reminding point is less than or equal to the voice reminding distance. Then, when the actual distance between the present position and the basic voice reminding point is less than or equal to the voice reminding distance, a voice reminding message is sent out as the reminding of entering the target route correctly.

  • Patent number: 7427951
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for updating GPS ephemeris data, which is applicable to a navigation device containing a GPS ephemeris data. The method for updating GPS ephemeris data includes the following steps: first, the navigation device counting down a predetermined time; next, searching a GPS ephemeris data server through a network interface; then performing a download from the GPS ephemeris data server so as to update the GPS ephemeris data in the navigation device. Accordingly, the time required for updating ephemeris data is shortened.

  • Publication number: 20080026786
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a portable electronic device for automatically switching a loudspeaker output, wherein the portable electronic device includes at least a switch unit, a communication unit, a loudspeaker unit and a navigation unit. While reading an activation signal outputted from the navigation unit and an incoming phone call signal from the communication unit, the switch unit connects the loudspeaker unit to the communication unit, and then proceeds to later processes of receiving phone call, so that users do not have to operate manually on the portable electronic device, the loudspeaker unit is capable of automatically outputting the incoming phone ring and communication voice.

  • Patent number: 7227497
    Abstract: A method for auto-writing into an address book is provided, the method including the steps of: first, receiving a target after the navigation device being started; then judging whether there is one of a plurality of addresses in the address book being located within a predetermined range around the target; thereafter, if there is one of the addresses in the address book being located within the predetermined range around the target, displaying one of the addresses for the user confirmation; finally, writing the user-confirmed global satellite positioning coordinates of the target into the one of the addresses.

  • Publication number: 20060265121
    Abstract: A navigation system for positioning by personal data is provided, which employs a personal database to store more than one personal data. The personal data fields in the personal data at least comprise an address field and a GPS coordinate field corresponding to the address field. The GPS coordinate field stores a GPS coordinate value, and is linked with any data field in the personal data fields by a linking module, to obtain a GPS coordinate value of the GPS coordinate field, thus to conduct a destination positioning and navigating rapidly and directly.
