  • Publication number: 20130099906
    Abstract: A remote controller switching device is used with a smart handheld electronic device installed with a control program providing a remote controller interface. When manipulated, the remote controller interface allows the control program to generate an operation instruction for controlling remotely an intended target. The remote controller switching device includes a fixation base for fixing the smart handheld electronic device in place, and a remote control module having a transmission connection portion and a protocol portion. After creating a transmission connection to the smart handheld electronic device, the remote controller switching device generates a remote control signal based on the operation instruction to control the intended target remotely through the protocol portion.

  • Publication number: 20130067736
    Abstract: A pin adjuster for electronic components adjusts and fixes pins of an electronic component while the electronic component is being installed on a circuit board such that the pins correspond in position to and connect to a plurality of contacts on the circuit board, respectively. The pin adjuster includes an insulating body and a plurality of channels. The channels each penetrate the insulating body and have an entry end and an exit end. The entry ends correspond in position to the pins of the electronic component, respectively, and the exit ends correspond in position to the contacts, respectively, such that the pins are adjusted and fixed in place by penetrating the channels, respectively. The pin adjuster enables the pins to be aligned with and connected to the contacts rapidly and precisely, thereby shortening the time taken to mount the electronic component on the circuit board and streamlining manual operation.

  • Publication number: 20130058015
    Abstract: A display device for enlarging or extending a view of a handheld electronic device includes a body, a displaying unit, a second transmitting unit, a carrying unit, and a fixing unit. The fixing unit fixes the handheld electronic device to the carrying unit regardless of the dimensions of the handheld electronic device. The body and the carrying unit are coupled together by a coupling unit in a manner that the body and the carrying unit can move relative to each other, such that screens of the handheld electronic device and the display device lie in parallel or side by side to face a user. The display device can further include a touch control unit whereby the display device and the handheld electronic device demonstrate versatility through their display and touch control functions.

  • Publication number: 20130057482
    Abstract: A display device for extending a view of a handheld electronic device includes a body, a displaying unit, a touch control unit, a connecting unit, a fixing unit, and a receiving recess. The fixing unit has an adjusting member for suiting the fixing unit to the size of the handheld electronic device. The handheld electronic device is received by the receiving recess and held by the fixing unit. The display device receives an audio/video signal and sends it to the displaying unit via the connecting unit. A control signal generated from the touch control unit is transmitted by the connecting unit. Hence, regardless of its dimensions, the handheld electronic device can be fixed to the display device, thereby extending the view of the handheld electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20130057483
    Abstract: An input device and a monitor having the input device are for use in a portable electronic device. The monitor of the portable electronic device has a touch display panel capable of touch control. Disposed on the touch display panel is a physical input unit functionally corresponding to a touch input unit displayed on the monitor. The touch input unit is configured by a programmable procedure, such that the touch input unit is linked to an application. A user executes the application by pressing the physical input unit and touching indirectly the touch input unit. Even if it is impossible for the application to be activated by the touch input unit, the application can still be executed by the physical input unit. Even if it is impossible for the application to be activated by the physical input unit, the application can still be executed by the touch input unit.

  • Publication number: 20130034332
    Abstract: A casing for a communication device includes a first casing and a second casing and receives a circuit board. A power element and an optical fiber element are mounted on the circuit board. A baffle is disposed in the first casing and corresponds in position to the optical fiber element for forming an insulating space in the vicinity thereof and thereby insulating the optical fiber element from the power element. With the casing, the optical fiber element that differs from the power element in an operating temperature range or heat dissipation requirement is insulated from the power element, such that the optical fiber element and the power element are provided with appropriate operating temperatures, respectively, and thus can operate well. The casing prevents cooling fins and thermal grease from deteriorating in performance after long use. The baffle and the first casing are integrally formed as a unitary structure.
