  • Patent number: 11201484
    Abstract: Accessory devices for portable electronic devices are herein described. An accessory device may include a receptacle used to receive and carry an electronic device. Further, the accessory device may include a cover that is pivotally coupled to the receptacle. The cover is designed to protect a front surface of the electronic device, including a cover glass. The accessory device may further include a power supply (such as a battery) that is located on the cover. The power supply is designed to provide power to the electronic device, and subsequently charge a battery of the electronic device. The power supply can also provide power to different devices. In this regard, the accessory device may include an inductive charging coil that can inductively charge a battery of a device located on the accessory device. The inductive charging coil can be integrated into the receptacle or the cover.

  • Patent number: 10965934
    Abstract: A system on chip includes a display serial interface (DSI) host device, a camera serial interface (CSI) host device, a first register, and a loopback control circuit. The first register is configured to store a first flag indicating whether the system on chip is operating in a loopback mode or a non-loopback mode. The loopback control circuit is configured to loop back data generated by the DSI host device to the CSI host device in response to the first flag indicating that the system on chip is operating in the loopback mode.

  • Publication number: 20210074179
    Abstract: A method for managing a language speaking lesson on a network is implemented through the steps of: receiving, by a management server, a request for registering a voice recording task of a learner from an instructor terminal; receiving, by the management server, voice recording data from a terminal of a learner who has confirmed the voice recording task; and receiving, by the management server, recording data for pronunciation correction of the voice recording data from the instructor terminal. By this method, the learner may be sufficiently given an opportunity to practice speaking a foreign language in a course of performing the voice recording task. In addition, the learner may repeatedly listen to the recording data for pronunciation correction directly recorded by the instructor for his or her foreign language pronunciation.

  • Publication number: 20210059627
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pneumothorax detection method performed by a computing device. The method may comprise obtaining predicted pneumothorax information, predicted tube information, and a predicted spinal baseline with respect to an input image from a trained pneumothorax prediction model; determining at least one pneumothorax representative position for the predicted pneumothorax information and at least one tube representative position for the predicted tube information, in a prediction image in which the predicted pneumothorax information and the predicted tube information are displayed; dividing the prediction image into a first region and a second region by the predicted spinal baseline; and determining a region in which the at least one pneumothorax representative position and the at least one tube representative position exist among the first region and the second region.
