Abstract: A backlight controlled closeup photographing system is proposed, which is designed for use with a multimedia-capable information platform, such as an MMV (MultiMedia Viewer) device, to allow the user to photograph a small object, such as a business card, at close range with intensified illumination on the object for the purpose of allowing the photographed digital image to have adequate brightness in picture quality. The proposed backlight controlled closeup photographing system is characterized by the use of backlight control to increase the intensity of the backlight illumination on the object being photographed for the purpose of allowing the photographed digital image to have adequate brightness in picture quality. Since the intensity of illumination on the object can be increased without using flash unit, the invention is apparently more cost-effective and advantageous to use than prior art.

Abstract: An automatic angle adjusting system for an image capturing device is provided, the image capturing device having an image capturing unit. The automatic angle adjusting system includes a driving device, an angle detector and a controlling device. The angle detector detects the location of the image capturing unit. The controlling device calculates an angle of the location of the image capturing unit deviating from a preset angle, and transmits a signal to the driving device that generates a mechanical driving force to rotate and resume the image capturing unit to the preset angle.

Abstract: The specification discloses a web AV recording device and the corresponding method. The device includes connectors, a transceiver, a storage device, and a processor. The connectors connect to external web devices. The transceiver connects to the connectors for transceiving AV signals. The storage device stores a comparison table, which records the correspondence between web device address and web addresses. The processor connects to the transceiver and the storage device. After the processor receives the AV signals transmitted from the transceiver, the AV signals are processed according to their internal and external signal forms. Therefore, the invention can process its internal and external AV signals and transmit AV signals between two web devices.

Abstract: An angle adjustment structure of an electronic apparatus having a display unit is provided to position the electronic apparatus on a support plane by an inclination angle. The angle adjustment structure includes: a shaft hole mount fixed in the electronic apparatus and having a hole at a central position; a rotation axle mounted in the hole of the shaft hole mount and having a plurality of locking grooves arranged at a predetermined inclination angle; and a rotation pole having one end formed with a connection pawl, wherein the connection pawl is inserted in the rotation axle to allow the rotation pole to be rotatably mounted in the shaft hole mount. Thus, as the rotation axle is supported on the support plane by the predetermined inclination angle, the electronic apparatus positioned on the support plane is inclined to allow a viewing angle of the display unit to be adjustable.

Abstract: A data storage method is provided, which is applicable to a computer device having a RTC (real-time clock) unit and a memory card access unit. The method includes the steps of: (1) accessing the RTC unit for obtaining a time value of a particular date when the computer device receives a data storage request from the memory card access unit; (2) determining if a memory unit of the computer device performs data storage operation on the particular date; if no, setting an identification value to be 1 and going to step (4); if yes, obtaining an identification value of the latest processed folder of the particular date and going to step (3); (3) adding 1 to the identification value; and (4) using the time value obtained from the RTC unit and the identification value from step (2) as a folder name for data from the memory card access unit.

Abstract: This invention discloses an electronic device with storable earphone, wherein an earphone cable is wrapped in an earphone strap and a coiler of the electronic device adjusts the extension and contraction of the earphone strap, so that a user may adjust and use the earphone in different environments. When the earphone strap is coiled, the strap is coiled evenly by a guider on the coiler to avoid the jam caused by coiling the strap onto one side of the collector. The structure of the coiler is simple, which makes use of one side of the existing battery compartment of the electronic device for its storage, and thus not occupying additional space in the electronic device.
