  • Patent number: 11150966
    Abstract: Toast notifications can be managed via a toast adapter and plugins. A toast adapter can function as an intermediary between a service and an application that interfaces with the Windows toast framework. The service can employ plugins that are configured to send toast requests to the toast adapter. The toast requests can include metadata from which the toast adapter can construct toast content. The toast adapter can then interface with the application to submit the toast content to the Windows toast framework to cause the toast notifications to be displayed. When a user interacts with a toast notification, the arguments that the Windows toast framework provides can be relayed by the application to the toast adapter. The toast adapter may then identify which plugin was the source of the toast notification and provide an indication of the user's interaction with the toast notification to the plugin.

  • Publication number: 20140049515
    Abstract: A virtual mouse is provided. The virtual mouse is coupled to an electronic device. The virtual mouse includes a touch unit, a detecting unit and a processing unit. The touch unit receives at least one touch event and outputs an input signal according to each of the at least one touch event, respectively. The detecting unit detects the at least one touch event to obtain a first parameter corresponding to each of the at least one touch event, respectively. The processing unit compares the first parameter corresponding to each of the at least one touch event with a first default value, respectively, to obtain a first comparing result corresponding to each of the at least one touch event. Whether the processing unit transmits the input signal to the electronic device is determined according to each of the first comparing result.

  • Patent number: 8286020
    Abstract: A power supply includes a power supply module, a microcontroller, a setting unit, a number of switch units, a number of current detection units, and a number of output connectors. Each switch unit is connected to one output connector via one current detection unit. The power supply module converts an alternating current (AC) voltage into a direct current (DC) to power electronic devices connected to each output connector by the corresponding switch unit, and the corresponding current detection unit. Each current detection unit detects a current passing through the output connector. The microcontroller calculates a total power of the power supply module according the detected currents and the DC voltage, and turns off all the switch units when the total power is greater than a predetermined current according to a protection mode set in the setting unit.

  • Publication number: 20110197075
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a detection module, an identification code generation module, a decryption module, a comparison module, and a control module. The detection module transmits a detection signal after detecting that a power adapter is connected to the electronic device. The identification code generation module randomly generates an encrypted identification code after receiving the detection signal. The decryption module decrypts the identification code to generate a first decryption code. The comparison module compares a second decryption code that has been fed back from the power adapter after the power adapter receiving the detection signal, with the first decryption code. The control module controls the electronic device to receive power from the power adapter when the first decryption code is the same as the second decryption code.
