Abstract: A data transmission system includes a home storage device, a cloud storage device, and a portable electronic apparatus. The home storage device is in communication with a network, wherein a plurality of files and a corresponding file list are stored in the home storage device. The cloud storage device is in communication with the network for receiving the file list and a first portion of each file from the home storage device. The portable electronic apparatus is in communication with the network. After a specified file is selected from the file list provided by the cloud storage device through the portable electronic apparatus, the first portion of the selected file from the cloud storage device is received by the portable electronic apparatus, and a second portion of the selected file from the home storage device is received by the portable electronic apparatus.

Abstract: An image display device for displaying digital images includes a display screen, a controller and a proximity sensor in communication with the controller. When an external object such as the user's hand is detected by the proximity sensor, the proximity sensor issues a sensing signal to the controller. The controller controls the display of the digital images in response to the sensing signal. Hence, the display of the digital images can be controlled or operated without touching the image display device.

Abstract: In an electric appliance system, an electric appliance for performing designated functions and first and second remote controllers are included. The first remote controller is optionally triggered for controlling a first group of the designated functions, and the second remote controller is optionally triggered for controlling a second group of the designated functions. The second group includes at least one designated function included in the first group and at least one designated function excluded from the first group.

Abstract: A player and a method for processing a file with vector-based format are disclosed. The player comprises a reading unit, a central processing unit, a memory unit and an output unit. The reading unit is controlled by the central processing unit, which determines whether a file with vector-based format exists in a data storage media. The memory unit, in which software for executing the file with vector-based format is stored, is electrically connected to the central processing unit. The player thus can play the file with vector-based format recorded in the data storage media directly.

Abstract: A platform-independent preference-setting method is used between a first electronic device, a second electronic device and a portable storage medium. The second electronic device includes a built-in memory. In the platform-independent preference-setting method, the portable storage medium is inserted into the first electronic device, which has been installed therein a first application program; the first application program is executed to generate a set of preference-setting parameters and to store the set of preference-setting parameters into the portable storage medium; the portable storage medium is removed from the first electronic device and is inserted into the second electronic device, which has been installed therein a second application program; and, said second application program is executed to read at least one parameter of the set of preference-setting parameters and to store the at least one parameter into the built-in memory of the second electronic device at a preset address.

Abstract: In a scheduled recording method, a specific recording apparatus perform a checking procedure in response to a triggering signal to upon actuating a scheduled record task for the specific recording apparatus, thereby realizing whether the specific recording apparatus is able to implement the scheduled record task. Then, a request command is issued from the specific recording apparatus to the network system in the situation when the specific recording apparatus fails to implement the scheduled record task. The remaining recording apparatuses which is linked to the network system performs the identical checking procedures in response to the request command, and responds a relay signal when one of the remaining recording apparatuses is able to implement the scheduled record task. Afterward, the one of the remaining recording apparatuses implements the scheduled record task in response to the relay signal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for classifying files are disclosed. The steps of the method include providing a plurality of files containing file information. A classifying parameter in the file information for classifying the files is set to classify the files. A plurality of file groups is divided from the files. Also, all files in one file group contain the same classifying parameter.
