Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device having a display region and a peripheral region adjacent to the display region. The electronic device includes a first electrode disposed in the display region, a second electrode disposed in the display region, a circuit module disposed in the peripheral region, a first electrical trace, and a second electrical trace electrically insulated from the first electrical trace. The circuit module is electrically connected to the first electrode through the first electrical trace and provides a first driving voltage to the first electrical trace. The circuit module is electrically connected to the second electrode through the second electrical trace and provides a second driving voltage to the second electrical trace, and the first driving voltage is different from the second driving voltage. In a top view, the first electrical trace at least partially overlaps the second electrical trace.

Abstract: A calibration method for a first accelerometer is disclosed. The first accelerometer is installed together with a second accelerometer in a device. The calibration method includes the second accelerometer measuring a first set of X, Y, Z accelerations in a Cartesian coordinate system, the first accelerometer measuring a second set of X, Y, Z accelerations in the Cartesian coordinate system, indicating to rotate the device, the second accelerometer measuring a third set of X, Y, Z accelerations in the Cartesian coordinate system, the first accelerometer measuring a fourth set of X, Y, Z accelerations in the Cartesian coordinate system, and calibrating X, Y, Z acceleration values measured by the first accelerometer based on the first, second, third and fourth sets of X, Y, Z accelerations.

Abstract: A multi-mode operation system and method for computer systems is proposed. The system includes a storage device having first and second disk partitions, a mode controller and a master boot program. The master boot program checks the status of the mode controller. If the computer system is running in PC mode, the master boot program hides the second disk partition, boots from the first disk partition, and loads a complete version of an operating system therein, thereby enables the computer system to run in the PC mode. If the computer system is running in a sub-mode being defined as an entry of a multimedia mode class, such as a music playing mode or video playing mode, the master boot program activates the second disk partition, boots therefrom, and loads a refined version of the operating system therein, thereby enables the computer system to run in the selected sub-mode.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a server automatically detecting a new joining portable device in a wireless local area network (LAN) and providing the new joining portable device with a new identification number, thereby the portable device can automatically access the wireless LAN and obtain the services from the server.

Abstract: An electronic system includes a network interface connecting the electronic system to a network, a non-volatile memory containing system software, and a CPU connected to the network interface and the non-volatile memory. The CPU discovers new software update components on the network using a universal plug and play (UPnP) protocol, downloads a selected software update component from the new software update components discovered on the network, and updates the non-volatile memory with the downloaded software update component. If the update should fail, a boot loader containing a network stack for a UPnP protocol can be used to reboot the electronic system using a backup software program discovered using the UPnP protocol. When booting, the CPU discovers new update components on the network using the UPnP protocol, downloads a selected update component from the new update components discovered on the network, and updates the non-volatile memory with the downloaded update component.
