Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, an approach is provided for estimating how a particular user would rate a particular item from a plurality of items. The approach is applicable to any type of items, including rental items such as movies, music and games, and the invention is not limited to any particular type of item. One or more items from the plurality of items that have ratings similar to the particular item are identified. One or more other users are identified that have given ratings to the one or more items that are substantially similar to ratings given by the particular user to the one or more items. An estimation is made of how the particular user would rate the particular item based upon ratings for the particular item given by the one or more other users.

Abstract: A display panel comprises a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of display pixels. The scan lines are enabled for a corresponding scan period in sequence. Each of the display pixels is electrically coupled to a corresponding scan line and a corresponding data line respectively, and each of the display pixels is controlled by the corresponding scan line to determine whether receiving data provided from the corresponding data line. At least one of the display pixels is also used as a touch pixel. The scan period is divided into a touch period and a display period. A data line corresponding to the touch pixel provides touch-charging data to the touch pixel in the touch period, and provides image-displaying data to the touch pixel in the display period.
