  • Patent number: 12261980
    Abstract: A marking method on image combined with sound signal, a terminal apparatus, and a server are provided. In the method, a first image is displayed. A selection command is detected. A target sound signal is embedded into a speech signal so as to generate a combined sound signal. The combined sound signal is transmitted. The selection command corresponds to a target region in the first image, and the selection command is generated selecting the target region through an input operation. The target sound signal corresponds to the target region of the selection command, and the speech signal is obtained by receiving sound. Accordingly, all attendants in the video conference are able to make makings on a shared screen.

  • Publication number: 20230084975
    Abstract: An object orientation identification method and an object orientation identification device are provided. The method is adapted for the object orientation identification device including a wireless signal transceiver. The object orientation identification device and a target object are both in a moving state. The method includes the following. A first signal is continuously transmitted by the wireless signal transceiver. A second signal reflected back from the target object is received by the wireless signal transceiver. Signal pre-processing is performed on the first signal and the second signal to obtain moving information of the target object with respect to the object orientation identification device. The moving information is input into a deep learning model to obtain orientation information of the target object with respect to the object orientation identification device.
