Abstract: A method and system for playing background music and key tone based on an embedded browser, and a digital television receiving terminal. The method comprises: analyzing and downloading web data, intercepting protocol registration events, and sending a background music start command when the background music need to be played; analyzing transport stream (TS) data pushed by a server, obtaining data required for playing the background music, and playing the background music; and receiving a key operation command from a user, analyzing the TS data pushed by the server when playing the background music, obtaining data required for playing key tone, and playing the key tone instructed in the key operation command. With the preceding method, system and digital television receiving terminal, defects in concurrently playing multi-channel audio data are overcome and the background music and key tone can be played concurrently.

Abstract: A convertible computer is provided. The convertible computer includes: a base housing, a touch housing, and a hinge unit. The base housing is equipped with a built-in control module for determining an angle between the base housing and the touch housing according to rotation of the hinge unit, and controlling the touch screen unit and the electrochromic unit according to the determined angle. When the angle exceeds a preset opening angle, the built-in control module enables the electrochromic unit to present a virtual keyboard, and the built-in control module receives inputs corresponding to manipulation of the virtual keyboard. When the angle is less than a preset closing angle, the built-in control module enables the touch screen unit, and the built-in control module receives inputs corresponding to manipulation of the touch screen unit.

Abstract: A method for text message input is provided. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, a text-editing box is generated while a text input in a text input region is detected, wherein an input area of the text-editing box is larger than that of the text input region. Then, a text message inputted in the text-editing box is received. Next, an editing-done instruction from the text-editing box is received after the text message is inputted. Finally, the text message is transmitted from the text-editing box to the text input region. A device for text message input is also provided.

Abstract: A battery is provided. The battery includes a battery cell, a connector, a universal serial bus, a first micro control unit and a second micro control unit. The connector has an enable pin for determining whether the battery is electrically connected to a portable electronic device through the connector. The first micro control unit is coupled to the enable pin and the second micro control unit is coupled to the universal serial bus. When it is determined that the battery is connected to the portable electronic device, the first micro control unit is enabled to perform a charge/discharge process on the battery cell through the portable electronic device. When it is determined that the battery is not connected to the portable electronic device, the second micro control unit is enabled to electrically connect the battery cell to the universal serial bus.

The wireless transceiving module is wirelessly connected to the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal is connected to the server via wireless network; the server is connected to the digital television reception terminal through cable television network. The present invention also provides a method for data interaction via wireless terminal.

Abstract: The invention provides an electronic apparatus. In one embodiment, the electronic apparatus comprises a hard disk, a speaker, and a processor. The hard disk comprises a vibration protection mechanism which lowers the performance of the hard disk when the vibration protection mechanism is activated. The speaker broadcasts a sound. The processor determines whether a vibration level of the speaker is greater than a threshold level, determines whether data stored in the hard disk is being accessed when the vibration level of the speaker is greater than the threshold level, and lowers a volume of the speaker when the data stored in the hard disk is being accessed and the vibration level of the speaker is greater than the threshold level, thereby preventing the vibration protection mechanism from being activated to maintain the performance of the hard disk.
