  • Publication number: 20170187763
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a streaming service system, a streaming service method and a controller thereof The streaming service system includes a plurality of switch nodes, a plurality of surrogate servers, a content management apparatus and a controller. The switch nodes are connected, and the surrogate servers are respectively connected to one of the switch nodes. The controller is connected to the switch nodes and communicates with the content management apparatus. The content management apparatus provides server information of the surrogate servers to the controller. When a first client apparatus is joined to a streaming group, the content management apparatus informs the controller. Further, the controller selects a first surrogate server from the surrogate servers, and sets at least a portion of the switch nodes to adjust a multicast tree. The first surrogate server transmits streaming packets to the first client through a first transmission route of the multicast tree.

  • Patent number: 8107720
    Abstract: A detection system for detecting appearances of many electronic elements includes a rotary module, a feeding module and a detection module. The rotary module has a base structure and a hollow transparent rotary structure disposed on the base structure. The feeding module is disposed beside one side of the hollow transparent rotary structure in order to sequentially guide the electronic elements to the top surface of the hollow transparent rotary structure. The detection module has a plurality of detection units sequentially disposed around the hollow transparent rotary structure. Each detection unit is composed of an image-sensing element for sensing the electronic elements, an image-capturing element for capturing surface images of the electronic elements and a classifying element for classifying the electronic elements.

  • Patent number: 8031930
    Abstract: A testing system for inspecting electronic devices includes a first transparent disk, a first image capturing unit disposed under the first transparent disk, a second disk disposed next to the first transparent disk, a guiding unit disposed on adjacent area between the transparent disk and the second disk, and a plurality of second image capturing units disposed around the second disk. A plurality of electronic devices is continuingly supplied onto the first transparent disk and the first image capturing unit is used for capturing the images of the bottom surfaces of the electronic devices. Then, the electronic devices are guided to the second disk via the guiding unit and the second image capturing units are used for capturing the images of other surfaces of the electronic devices. A testing method for electronic devices is further disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20090096462
    Abstract: A wafer testing method for wafer testing system comprises the steps: loading a wafer and then positioning the wafer relatively to a map file image stored in a map file. The map file is of a first file type. The next step is inspecting the appearance of the wafer. When the user detects defects on the wafer, the positions of the defects are directly recorded in the map file and then the modified map file is saved. The map file can be directly modified when the wafer is in the testing procedure so that the testing time is reduced. Furthermore, the precision of the testing is improved.

  • Patent number: 7467302
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a secure connection mechanism capable of automatically negotiating password between a wireless client terminal and a wireless access terminal, wherein the wireless client terminal is provided with an application software, a control button and an output device. When the wireless client terminal is actuated and the control button is triggered, the secure connection mechanism is enabled by performing the steps of showing a prompt on the output device to instruct user to turn a switch button on the wireless access terminal to a secure connection mode and connecting the wireless client terminal with the wireless access terminal to establish an encryption/decryption mechanism for automatically negotiating a password required for the connection within a predetermined period through the encryption/decryption mechanism in a wireless communication way after being in the secure connection mode.
