Patent number: 10643486Abstract: Steps of a method of case matching for a tutor user are implemented by a server that stores a plurality of tutee cases each including a lecturing location and a subject demand, and a tutor user registration corresponding to the tutor user and including a tutor location, a lecturing subject and a commuting distance limit. The server determines whether the tutee cases include a target tutee case of which the subject demand matches the lecturing subject and a commuting distance between the lecturing location of which and the tutor location is not greater than the commuting distance limit. When the determination is affirmative, the server generates a filtered case result indicating the target tutee case.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Ming-Yueh Hwang, Jon-Chao Hong, Chi-Ruei Tsai

Patent number: 10561934Abstract: A wearable device is configured to be worn by a first user, and to output pressure data indicating an amount of the pressure sensed thereby. An electronic device is communicatively connected to the wearable device for receiving the pressure data. In response to receipt of an initiating signal from a host device, the electronic device, continuously within a predetermined time period, accumulates a first number of exercise movements done by the first user based on the pressure data, receives data related to a second number of exercise movements done by a second user from the host device, and display a dynamic image indicating a relationship between the first number and the second number.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Ming-Yueh Hwang, Jon-Chao Hong, Yu-Feng Wu
