  • Publication number: 20150097986
    Abstract: An itinerary generation apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium thereof are provided. The itinerary generation apparatus includes a storage unit, an interface, and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is electrically connected to the storage unit and the interface. The storage unit is stored with a piece of information related to a place. The interface is configured to receive a plurality of images, wherein each of the images has a shoot time. The processing unit determines that a portion of the images corresponds to the place according to a piece of schedule information. The processing unit retrieves the piece of information related to the place from the storage unit after determining that the portion corresponds to the place.

  • Publication number: 20150100575
    Abstract: An electronic computing device, a personalized information providing method thereof, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium thereof are provided. The electronic computing device establishes a first and a second tree structure data according to a first data of a first user and a second data of a second user arranged in a period respectively by using an ontology construction algorithm, and calculates a similarity between the first and the second tree structure data by using a similarity evaluating algorithm, and then analyzes the similarity to subsume the first and the second tree structure data into a group by using a clustering algorithm. The electronic computing device determines difference between the first and the second tree structure data according to the group and generates recommending information corresponding to the first user which is arranged in the period according to the difference, and then enables a monitor to display the recommending information.

  • Publication number: 20150086123
    Abstract: A photo grouping system includes a photo database, a photo operating module, a photo grouping module, a landmark searching module, and a landmark determining module. The photo database saves a plurality of photos. The photo operating module converts the photos into a plurality of reference codes. The photo grouping module categorizes the photos into a plurality of photo groups according to the reference codes. The landmark searching module searches a landmark photo base on the photo groups. The landmark determining module determines the landmark names of the photo groups based on the landmark photos landmark searching module searched.

  • Publication number: 20150080062
    Abstract: A wireless ear phone and a sound broadcasting method thereof are provided. The wireless ear phone includes a first signal sensor, an electromagnetic signal transmitter, a second signal sensor and a controller. The first signal sensor generates an environment light detection result by detecting an environment light. The electromagnetic signal transmitter transmits an interruptible electromagnetic signal. The second signal sensor is disposed on a transmission path of the interruptible electromagnetic signal, and the second signal sensor generates an electromagnetic signal detection result by detecting whether the interruptible electromagnetic signal or the environment light is received. The controller enables or disables an operation of sound broadcasting of the wireless ear phone according to the electromagnetic signal detection result. When the wireless ear phone is put into an ear of a user, the transmission path is cut-off by the ear of the user.

  • Publication number: 20150074092
    Abstract: A method of ranking place names is disclosed. The method of ranking place names includes providing a plurality of place names, getting a plurality of searching result amounts of place names based on these place names, determining a relative degree between every two place names based on the searching result amounts of the place names, determining a starting place name of the place name ranking based on the relative degree between every two place names, calculating the intersection degree between these place names, and determining the ranking of these place names based on the searching result amounts of the place names, the relative degree between every two place names, the intersection degree between these place names, and the starting place name.

  • Publication number: 20140122521
    Abstract: A method for providing article information includes the following steps: an article request for obtaining an article to be read is received through a network from a present client. The article is analyzed to obtain several potential keywords from the article. An internal database is searched to obtain at least one representative keyword, which the potential words belong to, and transformation information between the at least one representative keyword and each potential keyword. A number of search results of the at least one representative keyword is obtained by searching an external database for calculating a number of search results of each potential keyword. Article-related information related to the article is generated according to the number of search results of the potential keywords. The article and the article-related information are combined to generate a web page for being transmitted to the present client through the network.

  • Patent number: 5496409
    Abstract: A semiconductor wafer processing system is disclosed which reduces particle accumulations in the wafer loading chamber during the pump down and vent cycle. A separate venting tube is provided which is positioned within the roughing tube used for the pump-down cycle. The venting tube is isolated from particulate matter which may be present in the roughing tube so that venting gas flow does not cause re-entry of the residual particulate matter into the loading chamber. The venting tube can be easily and inexpensively installed as a particle reduction kit into existing wafer processing systems.
