  • Patent number: 7986368
    Abstract: A digital photo frame with photographing function includes a digital frame, a lens module, a bracket, and a copy stand. The digital frame may further include a display module, a frame, a memory module, a control module, an input module, a power supply module, and a sense module. The display module is framed within the frame, and the lens module is disposed at a predetermined location on the frame. A paper photo can be disposed on the copy stand that is pivotally connected to the bracket. The input module can input a control signal to operate and control the lens module to copy photograph the paper photo into a digital photo and store the digital photo in the memory module and further display the digital photo on the display module.

  • Publication number: 20090085804
    Abstract: A GPS positioning and returning device is provided. The GPS positioning and returning device comprises a compass, a GPS module, an input interface, a memory, a display module and a control module. A marked direction on the GPS positioning and returning device pointing to the cardinal point of North on the compass is a reference direction. Through an input from the input interface, a first control signal is generated. The first control signal is received by the GPS module through the control module so as to generate first coordinates; the first coordinates are then stored in the memory. The input interface may further input a second control signal. The second control signal is received by the GPS module so as to generate second coordinates. After a relative direction and distance between the first coordinates and second coordinates are calculated, the display module is driven to display the relative direction and distance.

  • Publication number: 20090068949
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multifunctional Bluetooth headset. The multifunctional Bluetooth headset of the present invention includes a built-in earphone, a Bluetooth module, a connection port, a power module, a codec module, an extended earphone, an audio wire and a wire collector. The Bluetooth module supports at least one advanced audio distribution profile (A2DP) so as to receive and transmit a stereo sound wireless signal in compliance with the Bluetooth specification. The Bluetooth module can detect voltage of the connection port and allow the multifunctional Bluetooth headset to automatically switch to be reset as a Bluetooth dongle. The connection port and other peripherals allow the power module to charge. The extended earphone can incorporate with the built-in earphone as a dual channel earphone capable of playing stereo sound signals supported by the A2DP. The wire collector can collect the audio wire collected within the multifunctional Bluetooth headset.
