  • Patent number: 9684403
    Abstract: A method of controlling a touch screen of an electronic device includes the following steps: switching the touch screen from a normal state into a shrunk state; and confining a touch interactive region of the touch screen to a sub-region of the touch screen and positioning a non-interactive region of the touch screen away from an edge of the touch screen to be partially covered by a finger performing an operation when the touch screen is in the shrunk state. The touch interactive region is a region within which the touch screen displays an interactive frame, and when the touch screen is in the normal state, the touch interactive region extends beyond the sub-region.

  • Patent number: 8866770
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method of controlling a touch screen. The touch screen displays an interactive frame within a touch permissible region. Under the method, the touch screen can be switched from a normal state into a shrunk state. When the touch screen is in the shrunk state, the touch permissible region is confined to a sub-region of the touch screen. In contrast, when the touch screen is in the normal state, the touch permissible region extends beyond the sub-region.

  • Patent number: 8208351
    Abstract: An optical storage medium playback apparatus includes an optical storage access device, a connection port, and a controller. The optical storage access device is implemented for reading a multimedia content from an optical storage medium. The controller is coupled to the optical storage access device and the connection port, and is implemented for storing a portion of the multimedia content read from the optical storage medium into an external storage via the connection port when the external storage is electrically connected to the connection port, and for accessing the portion of the multimedia content which is stored in the external storage electrically connected to the connection port and performing a playback operation upon data read from the optical storage medium concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20100166169
    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating business promotional material with voice calling are described. The business sponsors a customer to sign up for an outgoing calling account with a promotional calling service provider company. The service provider identifies an user as a customer of the sponsor and therefore assigns one dedicated speed dial extension to connect directly to the sponsor. Other frequently called numbers are stored in a phone book at other speed dial locations. Sponsor gets to promote themselves to the sponsored user when the user sets up/maintains his/her online account or makes a call.

  • Patent number: 7415546
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for interfacing a peripheral device corresponding to the detection of interface, which comprises: a regulator, for regulating the working voltage of the circuit of the apparatus; an USB physical layer with switch controller, for detecting and determining whether the interface to which the peripheral device is connected is an USB interface and thus being capable of enabling an USB mode of the apparatus; at least four pull-high switch resistors; and an analog switch, capable issuing an analog signal while the apparatus is in the USB mode; wherein the PS2 mode of the apparatus is enabled while the USB physical layer with switch controller detects no USB interface being connected to the peripheral device, and the mode of the apparatus is controlled by the interaction of the on/off statuses of the four pull-high switch resistors.

  • Publication number: 20060150030
    Abstract: An error handling method is provided for processing adapter errors. Rather than executing a disruptive controller hardware reset, an error handling routine provides instructions for a reset operation to be loaded and executed from cache while the SDRAM is in self-refresh mode and therefore unusable.
