  • Publication number: 20060235769
    Abstract: A method and a system for automatic categorization and packaging of the present invention that, based on pre-selected information, automatically arranges a plurality of cargoes on pallets to fill up spaces in the pallets that are not fully occupied, thereby effectively using storage spaces in cargo transport so as to save transportation costs. The automatic categorization and packaging system comprises at least a data accessing module, a pallet arranging module, a pallet capacity determining module, a pallet consolidating module, and a data outputting module for being used in combination with the method to perform the pallet consolidation. Further, information of the process of pallet consolidation is outputted to a management system for allowing production administrators to effectively control flows of cargoes and pallets and increase efficiency of production management as a result.

  • Publication number: 20060221236
    Abstract: A television with number displaying function is provided to allow a user waiting in a queue to see the queue number simultaneously while watching a television program. The television with number displaying function comprises a display unit for showing television program as well as number at the same time; a wireless controlling device for providing a number controller remotely for altering the number and the way it is displayed on the display unit; a receiver for receiving a signal sent by the wireless controlling device, and a controlling unit for implementing the program stored in a memory unit according to the signal received by the receiver. This eliminates the need for the user to check from time to time the queue number being called upon and also reduces the possibility of missing the queue number when the user is too concentrated in watching television, when the queue number is conventionally displayed in a separate device from the television.

  • Publication number: 20060224273
    Abstract: A method and a system for packing and delivering products are suitable for delivery of products with additional equipment. The method outputs a size serial number of a package containing a product and its additional equipment to improve the packing efficiency according to a product order. The system includes an order reading module, a serial number outputting unit, a processing unit, and a data generating module, which cooperate with the method to identify according to the product order whether additional equipment is ordered together with a product, so as to generate size serial numbers of packages for the product and its additional equipment and a size serial number of a delivery package for accommodating the packed product and additional equipment, such that the product and additional equipment can be encased into the delivery package and delivered together, thereby shortening the delivery time and reducing the risk of loss during delivery.

  • Patent number: 7024458
    Abstract: A system and a method for managing mails and files are proposed, which are applied to a network environment e.g. Internet, allowing received mails or files to be classified and systematically stored in a database, according to receiver's group, mail subject, file name and type, and/or sender's address. This therefore allows an authorized user to efficiently search mails or files from the database in response to receiver's group, mail subject, file name and type, and/or sender's address provided by the user, so that the desired mails or files can be quickly retrieved.

  • Publication number: 20030041245
    Abstract: A system and a method of network file transmission are proposed, in which files for transmission can be encoded and assigned with digital signatures, allowing users to authenticate the digital signatures, and to securely transmit and receive the encoded files through Internet, without connecting to a cyber telephonic network. Since file transmission is performed through Internet, it is not limitedly applied to particular transmission networks, and can also desirably reduce costs of network communication.
