  • Patent number: 10569163
    Abstract: A method to allow participation with multiple other players in a virtual reality (VR) board game includes steps of generating a board game scenario after a player with a mobile terminal logs in to a server and sending the VR scenario to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can transmit first and second signals, the first signal defining movement and track of a player piece being moved, and the second signal defining verbal expressions or commands by the player to trigger a preset event in the game. The first and second signals are analyzed and the player pieces in the VR scenario are moved accordingly. The method and system can also determine at least one player piece in the scenario that matches a condition for triggering a preset event or move in the VR game and make suggestions to the player accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9646442
    Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic lock includes receiving a password transmitted from an electronic device, and determining whether the received password matches a preset password, the preset password is a certain movement of one or more electronic devices. If the received password matches the preset password, determining whether the electronic lock is operating in a temporary pass state or in a non-temporary pass state. The electronic lock is unlocked if the electronic lock is operating in the temporary pass state, but further user verifications are required if the electronic lock is operating in the non-temporary pass state.

  • Patent number: 9503669
    Abstract: A smart control device for controlling a television (TV) set includes at least one sensing device and a processor. The sensing device is configured to detect whether a person is in front of the TV set, and generate a first control signal upon determining that at least one person is in front of the TV set, or generate a second control signal upon determining that no people are in front of the TV set. The processor obtains the control signal generated by the sensing device, and turns on the TV set when the control signal is the first control signal and if the TV set was turned off, or turns off the TV set after a first predetermined time period elapsed, when the control signal is the second control signal and if the TV set was turned on.
