  • Patent number: 9123176
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing a 2D character to perform a 3D motion having x-axis, y-axis and z-axis information is provided. In the present invention, 3D human motion data entered is analyzed to obtain motion information of angles, coordinates and depths of all human body parts in the 3D motion data. By matching a sprite with the 3D motion, an image of each body part of the 2D character is capable switching to a reasonable image for a particular angle according to angle information of the 3D motion data, and adjusting a size or deforming the image of each body part of the 2D character according to the depth and angle information of the 3D motion data. Therefore, the 2D character is allowed to achieve visual performance effects of frontal performance, sideways performance, turning performance or rear performance having depth information as a 3D character.

  • Patent number: 7580163
    Abstract: A slip-resistant and portable scanner for scanning a document placed on a document platen includes a housing, a scan window, and a scanning module and a slip-resistant structure. The scan window is mounted on the housing to closely face the document. The scanning module is disposed in the housing to scan the document through the scan window. The slip-resistant structure is disposed on and attached to a surface of the scan window facing the document and in contact with the document or the document platen. Thus, it is possible to prevent the scan window from slipping relatively to the document and enhance the scan quality and convenience.

  • Publication number: 20090172382
    Abstract: A multi-function computer system includes a host apparatus, a display and a boot mode switching unit. The display is electrically connected to the host apparatus. The boot mode switching unit electrically connected to the host apparatus may be switched between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the boot mode switching unit controls the host apparatus to boot into a first operation environment. In the second mode, the boot mode switching unit controls the host apparatus to boot into a second operation environment different from the first operation environment.

  • Publication number: 20060092449
    Abstract: A printing device including a first memory unit, a second memory unit, a printing unit and a control unit is provided. The control unit is for receiving print data and then creating at least a print signal, and for controlling the printing unit to print the print data. The first memory unit and the second memory unit are for receiving and storing the print data from the control unit according to the print signal. The control unit transmits the print data to the first memory unit when the print signal does not comprise a manual print signal and to the second memory unit when the print signal comprises the manual print signal and controls the printing unit to automatically print the print data stored in the first memory unit and to manually print the print data stored in the second memory unit.

  • Publication number: 20060039038
    Abstract: A multi-function peripheral which outputs image data for multiple uses includes a scanning unit, a memory, a processor, a plurality of output units and an operation interface. The scanning unit scans a to-be-scanned object and generates an image signal, which is temporarily stored in the memory. The processor processes the image signal into a plurality of different output signals. The output unit generates a plurality of output results according to the output signals, respectively. The operation interface is for selecting at least two of output options provided and initiates a scan process, so that the processor processes the image signal into at least two output signals corresponding to the at least two output options and at least two of the output units generate at least two output results corresponding to the at least two output signals.
