  • Patent number: 8902323
    Abstract: A face recognition method recognizes complete faces in a preview image of a group photo taken by an image capturing device, divides the preview image into default blocks if the number of the complete faces is no more than a predetermined number, and adjusts the default blocks into adjusted blocks, wherein the adjusted blocks comprising complete face blocks and non-complete face blocks, wherein each of the complete face blocks contains only one complete face while each of the non-complete face blocks does not contain any complete face, and one of the most adjacent complete face contains one of the most adjacent complete faces. The method analyzes the adjusted blocks to obtain target blocks from the non-complete face blocks which is most adjacent to any one of the complete face blocks and recognizes facial features in each of the target blocks and obtain non-complete face blocks.

  • Patent number: 8843950
    Abstract: A television includes an image capturing unit to capture images in front of the television. Faces in the captured images are recognized to generate a face recognition result. When a condition for switching television programs is determined to be met according to the face recognition result, one or more program tables are searched to find a currently aired television program that is suitable for the current audience. The television is switched to a channel playing the found television program.

  • Patent number: 8831641
    Abstract: An answering system including a first mobile phone, the first mobile phone includes a communication unit for communicating with a second mobile phone, a position sensor, a microphone, and a processor. The position sensor detects whether the first mobile phone is flat or tilted (balanced state or unbalanced state). The microphone detects vocal commands given to the first mobile phone. The processor acknowledges any incoming call when the first mobile phone is positioned in an unbalanced state and a conversation is detected in a preset time, and hangs up a call received previously when no command or conversation is detected in the preset time and the first mobile phone is positioned in a balanced state.

  • Publication number: 20100287637
    Abstract: Methods for blocking autoreactive T cell-initiated destruction of tissues in a mammal are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering a purified CD24 polypeptide, a fusion protein comprising such polypeptide, or a biologically active fragment of such polypeptide to a mammalian subject who is suspected of having or predisposed to having an autoimmune disease. In another embodiment, anti-CD24 antibody or anti-CD24 Fab fragments are administered to the subject. In another embodiment, the method comprises administering a CD24 antisense molecule, an expression vector encoding a CD24 antisense molecule, CD24 dsRNAi, or an expression vector encoding CD24 dsRNAi to the subject. The present invention also relates to isolated and purified CD24 fusion proteins employed in the present methods and to transgenic mice that express the human CD24 protein on their T cells and/or their vascular endothelial cells but do not express murine heat shock antigen on any cells.
