Abstract: A multimedia playing method and system are proposed. The system at least has a main section and a remote section having a fingerprint identifying function. The main section has a database for storing identification data of multimedia contents, pausing points of the multimedia contents indicating the point at which the contents were previously paused when played and corresponding user identifications. The remote section acquires a fingerprint of a current user as the user identification, the multimedia content to be played and the user's instructions, which are transmitted to the main section. The main section then searches in its database for a pausing point of the multimedia content to be played corresponding the user identification. Then, the multimedia content is played from the pausing point for the particular user.

If positive, sent the acknowledgment signal to the equipment for further processing to achieve the objective of wireless transmission.

Abstract: A method for detecting defects when mixed colors among color channels on a liquid crystal monitor is disclosed. The disclosed method utilizes the interference of four channels of red, green, blue and white colors to check whether a detected liquid crystal monitor can normally show the mixed colors. A rectangular channel drawing is shown on a liquid crystal monitor; wherein the most upper left point, the most upper right point, the most lower left point, and the most lower right point are respectively allocated by red, green, blue, and white pixels. Each color channel then extends separately along the diagonal direction and accompanied with color intensity gradually decreasing to obtain an interference diagram that contains several arc stripes on the rectangular drawing. Accordingly, those defective pixels will be clearly indicated in the rectangular channel drawing because they are usually flashing visually.
