  • Patent number: 10923893
    Abstract: A tubing structure includes a first unit, a second unit movably connected to the first unit, and a controller. The first unit includes a first body and at least one first magnetic component disposed inside the first body. The second unit includes a second body movably engaging with the first body and at least one second magnetic component disposed inside the second body and located at a position corresponding to the at least one first magnetic component. The controller is electrically connected to at least one of the at least one first magnetic component and the at least one second magnetic component.

  • Patent number: 10755632
    Abstract: An eye tracking-based display control system includes a main body accommodating a mirror; a first image capture device disposed on the main body and facing a first direction to capture a first image; a controller receiving and processing the first image; and a transparency controllable film disposed on an opposite side of the mirror against the main body. In response to a determination that a light source on the first image has brightness higher than a predetermined threshold, and a determination that a shift distance of eyes between an eye position and an initial position of a driver is not zero, the controller calibrates an original position of the light source according to the shift distance of the eyes and an initial coordinate system, thereby obtaining a calibrated position, according to which transparency of a local region of the transparency controllable film corresponding to the light source is changed.
