Publication number: 20240114281Abstract: The present invention provides a method for selecting a response, an earphone base, a method of selecting a wireless earphone, a device and a medium. The method for selecting a response includes sending communication data to a user terminal, the communication data comprises a wireless earphone communication data and/or an earphone base communication data; detecting whether a selection command for the wireless earphone sent from the user terminal is received; and controlling the earphone base corresponding to the selection command to execute a predetermined response action. By adopting the present invention, the earphone base establishes a connection with the user terminal through its own communication function or a connected wireless earphone. The communication data of the earphone base and the wireless earphone are sent to the user terminal for the user to view. The earphone base is capable of responding when receiving the selection command.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: JUN FANG, JING-SONG CHANG, SHIH-KUANG TSAI

Publication number: 20140175856Abstract: A skate wheel for manual skating apparatus includes a structural body, an outer cover and an inner cover. The structural body is formed in an annular shape and has an outer annular surface and an inner annular surface. The outer annular surface has a plurality of ridges formed thereon. The outer cover is coupled on the outer annular surface to cover the ridges and the inner cover is held on the inner annular surface for covering thereof. Through the uneven surface formed by the ridges, separation of the outer cover can be prevented. A structure with a harder inner side and softer outer side also can be formed. When this structure is used for skate wheels of a manual skating apparatus, durability increases and shock absorption effect enhances, thus can provide longer lifespan and improved comfort, and protect users to meet use requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: NHS INC.Inventors: TIM PIUMARTA, SHIH-FANG CHANG

Patent number: 8156162Abstract: A storage method and a search method for mark events on two-dimensional space are provided. First, an event and a corresponding coordinate thereof are retrieved. Next, calculation on the coordinate of the event is performed to generate an index representing a bucket position in a storage device. Next, whether or not there is any existing search tree stored in the bucket position is judged, and then the event is inserted into a linked list of a node of the search tree stored in the bucket position according to a judgment result. Besides, when a range on the two-dimensional space is designated, corresponding nodes in the search tree are rapidly accessed according to the index obtained by a hash function, and further by application of pointers pointing to the bucket position having the search tree stored therein and by real-time return of search result, the search speed is high.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Ching-Sung Lee, Shih-Fang Chang
