Abstract: An expandable home can expand horizontally with walls and floors that are foldable to the side of the structure. The movable house structure can be road mobile in a stowed state and can be expanded into a multi-bedroom house with a loft in an expanded state. The two outside walls can be driven out from the main body frame and two floor panels are hingedly connected with the body frame to be folded down for the expanded room. There are two retractable roofs on the top of the main structure that can be pulled out with the outside walls. The loft part can be raised from the main structure, where the floor panel for the loft is preset. Two long side wall panels are hingedly connected and folded into the middle while the two short wall panels are inserted into and raised from the short wall panels of first floor.

Abstract: A two-direction expandable mobile house can be configured, for example, as a recreational vehicle or similar type of mobile home. The expandable mobile house can include a main body structure, two expandable structures including sliding wall panels, floor panels with hinges, and expansion mechanisms. The outside walls can be driven out by some hydraulic rods or by other mechanisms that can provide the same function connection linkages. The expandable floor panels can be stowed folded vertically. They can be connected to the main body frame with hinges. Small side wall panels can be designed to slide out from the main body frame. A flexible roof is able to be folded back into the main frame. The roof can include two inner boards for covering the expanded rooms.

Abstract: A movable home with retractable structures includes expandable parts of the structure that can be split into frame and wall panels. Frames, including wall frames and a floor frame, can be folded into the main body. Wall panels can slide out of a box and form the walls of the house. Similarly, floor panels can slide out of a box and form the floor of the house. The boxes for the wall panels and the floor panels can be part of the overall footprint of the main retracted structure. One advantage of this method is that the wall panels and the floor panels will not interfere with the entire home, where a vehicle can transfer the retracted house to a desired location for expansion.

Abstract: An adjustable awning has no longitudinal linkage, which makes efficient use of space, can be assembled with a collapsible roof as a whole, increasing the function of the collapsible roof, and can be unfolded together with the collapsible roof, controlled by a mechanism inside the collapsible roof, and the control mechanism can be adjusted to select whether the awning is linked to the roof or not. The horizontal adjustable awning includes an internal control mechanism, a main transmission mechanism and a folding mechanism. The internal control mechanism includes a spring roller, a drive belt, a belt end block and a block snap; the main transmission mechanism includes a pulley, a filament rod, a shade cloth mechanism, a bearing housing, a rack and pinion mechanism and a gear housing; the folding mechanism includes two rotating pushers, two articulated sliders and a protective plate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a device connection applied to a first device with a camera are provided. The method includes acquiring an image of a second device by the first device through the camera, recognizing the type of the second device through the acquired image of the second device, acquiring a device list corresponding to the type of the second device through an IoT server, and identifying the second device in the device list, acquiring a unique identifier of the second device in the current IoT environment, and using the unique identifier of the second device to initiate a connection request to the second device to establish a connection with the second device. The method may automatically establish a connection between devices with less operation of the devices.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method and system for interactive transmission of panoramic video, wherein the method comprises: determining, by a client, the location information of a user's current region of interest; requesting a server for video information of the region of interest by using the location information; and, acquiring, by the server, a panoramic video slice corresponding to the region of interest according to the location information, and transmitting the panoramic video slice to the client. With the present invention, resource overhead and a delay of transmission of panoramic video can be reduced.
