Patent number: 7646400Abstract: A method for forming a panoramic image using a camera. The method comprises taking a first photograph using the camera. On a display of the camera a blending area is formed. The blending area includes a part of a first image of the first photograph displayed on the display. The camera is moved before being prepared to take a second photograph. In the blending area only, a pixel matching process is performed for determining an alignment of the portion of the first image in the blending area and part of a second image of the second photograph in the blending area. A camera is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Creative Technology LtdInventors: Yuen Khim Liow, Siang Thia Goh, Guoran Liu

Patent number: 7556228Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for secure placement on a substantially flat surface. The apparatus includes a case; at least one support piece located on the substantially flat surface for placement of the case, the support piece including at least one piece of a first material; and at least one piece of a second material located within the case. The case rotates about an axis when a facing/bearing of the apparatus is changed. The axis may be either horizontal or vertical. Preferably, at least one of the first material and the second material is a magnet for magnetic attraction between the at least one piece of the first material and the at least one piece of the second material. The apparatus may be a web camera, a set of speakers, a microphone, a light source, or any combination of the aforementioned. It is advantageous for stability that the at least one piece of a second material is located at a fixed position relative to an inner surface of the case whatever the facing/bearing of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Creative Technology LtdInventors: Yuen Khim Joseph Liow, Siang Thia Goh, Jun Zhu

Patent number: 6461181Abstract: The present invention is a docking interface for portable electronic devices that feature at least a printed circuit board (PCB) contact and a set of spring loaded contact pins for facilitating the recharging of power source and transfer of data between the devices and their hosts. Because of the thickness of a PCB and the retraction of the spring loaded pins, the overall profile of the present invention is reduced to a minimum. At the same time, the reliability of the contact between the portable device and the docking station is assured. As such, the present invention offers an economical and reliable solution for docking interface in portable electronic devices that permit further reduction in size and weight without imposing constraints on the availability of increased functionality.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2000Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Creative Technology Ltd.Inventors: Siang Thia Goh, Eng Kim Teo, Wee Chong Ou
