Publication number: 20110074979Abstract: An image capture device includes a face recognition module, a determination module, and an image edition module. The face recognition module recognizes a facial portion of a portrait photo. The determination module zooms the portrait photo until the facial portion satisfies first predetermined sizes, calculates the center of the facial portion, and determines a boundary of a photo identification to be created in the zoomed portrait photo according to second predetermined sizes, which interprets the center of the facial portion as the center thereof. The image edition module cuts the zoomed portrait photo along the boundary to create the photo identification.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicants: PREMIER IMAGE TECHNOLOGY(CHINA) LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: WEI HUANG, XUE-LAN ZHOU, QI-DA GUAN

Publication number: 20100253806Abstract: An imaging system includes a memory, an identifying module, an image capturing module, and a processing module. The memory is configured for storing a reference portrait image. The identifying module is configured for identifying and storing a reference feature parameter of a sample portrait from the reference portrait image. The image capturing module is configured for capturing a video. The identifying module is further configured for identifying a feature parameter of the portrait in the captured video. The processing module is configured for changing the pixel values of each pixel in an area occupied by a portrait within the captured video to hide the portrait in the captured video when the feature parameter of the portrait in the captured video is the same as the reference feature parameter of the sample portrait.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2009Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicants: PREMIER IMAGE TECHNOLOGY(CHINA) LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: QI-DA GUAN

Patent number: 7778537Abstract: A zooming system includes a selecting unit, a detection unit, a calculating unit, a controlling unit, and a zooming unit. The selecting unit is configured for selecting a zoom mode based on the presence of faces in a pre-image. The detection unit is configured for detecting facial areas in the pre-image. The calculating unit is configured for calculating a zoom ratio on the basis of a dimensional ratio of the detected facial areas to the pre-image. The zooming unit is controlled by the controlling unit to zoom the imaging device according to the zoom ratio.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignees: Premier Image Technology (China) Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Qi-Da Guan

Publication number: 20090206235Abstract: A flash intensity adjusting device includes an image capturing module, an image-displaying module, a main-image selecting module, an image partition module, a pre-flash brightness-value acquiring module, a flash-intensity calculating module, and a flash derive device. The main-image selecting module is configured for selecting a main image area from the image-displaying area. The image partition module is configured for partitioning the main image area into at least two regions. The pre-flash brightness-value acquiring module is configured for acquiring a brightness value of each region of the main image area when the flash pre-flashing. The flash-intensity calculating module is configured for calculation a mean value according to the brightness value of each region to obtain a flash intensity value of the flash. The flash drive device is configured for driving the flash unit to flash according to the flash intensity value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicants: PREMIER IMAGE TECHNOLOGY(CHINA) LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: QI-DA GUAN, QING-FA OU

Publication number: 20090064317Abstract: An exemplary data protection system includes a storage module, an input module, and a logistic module. The storage module is configured for storing data and a preset password. The input module is configured for inputting a password. The logistic module is configured for comparing the input password with the preset password. If the input password is identical to the preset password, the data stored in the storage module is set to accessible. When operations of accessing to data are finished, the data is blocked from accessing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicants: PREMIER IMAGE TECHNOLOGY(CHINA) LTD., HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: QI-DA GUAN
