  • Publication number: 20170153924
    Abstract: A method for request scheduling and a scheduling device are provided. The method includes the following steps. The utilization rate of a processing unit is monitored. Multiple periodic requests are received, where the ith periodic request has an original period Pi and an execution time bi. The original period and the execution time of each periodic request are recorded. When the utilization rate of the processing unit exceeds an upper limit, the period of each periodic request is adjusted to be an updated period Pi?, P?i=n1i+?, n is an integer greater than 1, qi is an integer greater than 0, and ? is an integer greater than or equal to 0. The periodic requests are scheduled according to the updated period of each periodic request and the execution time of each periodic request to obtain a scheduling result. The scheduling result is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 8653951
    Abstract: A remote control method applied to a remote control system, including a remote control device and at least one be-controlled device, includes the following steps. The remote control device discovers the at least one be-controlled device dynamically via a network and retrieves a device control profile from the at least one be-controlled device. The device control profile includes a composite finite state machine representing the dependency of various operation states of the at least one be-controlled device and multiple control codes coded in a bit-string format. Then the remote control device retrieves a current operation state code from the at least one be-controlled device via the network periodically. The remote control device analyzes the current operation state code based on the device control profile to accordingly generate a user interface to control the at least one be-controlled device.

  • Patent number: 8224945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a memory management system and method for open platform. The memory management system and method of the present invention utilizes the main spirit of sharing service in open platform. When the used memory in local open platform exceeds an upper limit, the standard service bundle access interface is used for accessing the standard service bundle in remote open platform. Therefore, the standard service bundle in local open platform can be off-loaded to release the memory space so as to resolve the memory shortage problem. The stability of the whole system can be maintained.

  • Patent number: 8130678
    Abstract: Disclosed relates to an automatic fall behind warning method and system applied in a group activity environment. Each individual in the group corresponds to a node and all of such nodes form an independent network. The method initializes an outside node table for the group and gets a link quality index table (LQI table) among the nodes on the network. A table specifying outside and inside nodes for the network topology is generated via an algorithm. Then the method checks if there is a node being disappearing from the outside nodes of the generated table. If not, it updates the outside node table and continues to get a newest LQI table. If so, the node falls behind is confirmed and a warning notice is automatically generated once the disappearing node is not an inside node is verified. Otherwise, the method returns to the step of updating the outside node table.

  • Patent number: 7885273
    Abstract: A method and a system for converting the service types of the devices connected to a control gateway are provided. The system includes a server, an open platform, a control gateway and devices connected to the control gateway. Wherein, the device possesses device description information and is operated in a first device service type; the control gateway is electrically coupled between the open platform and the device, holds or obtains the device description information of the device and delivers the device description information to the open platform; the server provides a plurality of device service contents. The open platform further according to the device description information obtains the device service content corresponding to the device from the server and registers the device service content in the open platform.

  • Patent number: 7814215
    Abstract: A system for controlling the devices connected to a control gateway includes one or more devices, a control gateway, a server and an open platform. The control gateway is electrically coupled to the devices. The server provides a plurality of control gateway base drivers. The open platform is electrically connected to the control gateway. According to the device's description and type information provided by the control gateway, the system automatically downloads a corresponding control gateway base driver from the server, and converts a first device service type into a second device service type automatically by the control gateway base driver. Thereby, other internal bundles on the open platform or external control devices with the second device service type can use the devices connected to the control gateway.
