  • Patent number: 9516405
    Abstract: A multimedia playing system is provided. A portable electronic device includes a first dock port, a second dock port, a power module, an audio processor and a controller. When a first single-ear wireless earphone connects with the first dock port, the power module charges the first single-ear wireless earphone via the first dock port. When a second single-ear wireless earphone connects with the second dock port, the power module charges the second single-ear wireless earphone via the second dock port. The audio processor provides a left sound channel signal and a right sound channel signal. When the first single-ear wireless earphone separates from the first dock port, the controller provides one of the left sound channel signal and the right sound channel signal to the first single-ear wireless earphone according to a relative position between the first dock port and a user.

  • Patent number: 9178267
    Abstract: A touchpad device includes a capacitive touch pad and a near field communication antenna. The capacitive touch pad includes a plurality of input circuits and a plurality of output circuits. Each input circuit and each output circuit intersect and are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other, thereby forming a chessboard-like circuit. The near field communication antenna includes an antenna structure crosses at least part of the plurality of input circuits and at least part of the plurality of output circuits. The antenna structure is substantially not parallel to any one of the input circuits crossed by the antenna structure, and the near field communication antenna being substantially not parallel to any one of the output circuits crossed by the antenna structure.

  • Publication number: 20130288594
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a mobile device including a storage unit, at least one sensor, a first near field communication chip, and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a key list, wherein the key list includes a key and an activation condition corresponding to the key. The at least one sensor generates a posture information and/or a position information of the mobile device. The processing unit receives the posture information and/or the position information of the mobile device, and determines whether the posture information and/or the position information meet(s) the activation condition, wherein the mobile device transmits the key of the key list to a second near field communication chip by the first near field communication chip to enable a mechanism corresponding to the key when the posture information and/or the position information meet(s) the activation condition.
