  • Patent number: 11341716
    Abstract: An augmented-reality system includes an image capture device that obtains a captured image, an image processing unit that receives and processes the captured image to determine space configuration of a scene; a user interface that receives a position of a fiducial point inputted by a user; and a rendering device that superimposes a fiducial mark at the position of the fiducial point on the captured image. The rendering device superimposes a first computer-generated image representing a sensor at an install height above the fiducial point and on a wall of the captured image.

  • Publication number: 20210209930
    Abstract: A method of disarming a smart home security setting includes displaying a prompt page for instructing a user to proceed with facial image capture; capturing at least one face image of the user; allowing the user to enter a password only when an area ratio of captured face on the face image to a whole face is greater than a predetermined first threshold and an image quality of the face image is greater than a predetermined second threshold; and issuing a warning notification if identification according to the password fails.

  • Patent number: 8599163
    Abstract: A method for adjusting at least a area of a touch screen wherein the touch panel comprises a first touch area and a second touch area, the first touch area is responsive to a stationary touch and corresponds to a first function, and the second touch area is responsive to a sliding touch and corresponds to a second function, includes: defining an overlapped touch area comprising at least part of the first touch area and at least part of the second touch area; receiving a touch input on the touch panel; when the touch input is started from the overlapped touch area, calculating a moving distance of the touch input and a touch time of the touch input; and when the touch time is within a threshold time, and the moving distance exceeds a threshold distance, setting the overlapped touch area to correspond to the second function.
