Abstract: A cooking apparatus for cooking ingredients packaged together in a package is provided. The cooking apparatus includes a cooking device and a barcode reader. The cooking device includes a housing defining a cooking room for accommodating the ingredients therein, a cooking unit for heating contents in the cooking room, and a control module electrically connected to the cooking unit for controlling operation of the cooking unit. The barcode reader is electrically connected to the control module, and scans a barcode on the package representing data related to information about the ingredients, decodes the barcode so as to obtain the data, and transmits the data to the control module that controls operation of the cooking unit based on the information.

Abstract: An operating method of a communication device includes performing a wireless scan procedure by utilizing a radio communication technology to receive advertising data broadcasted by an external device; determining a connection interval corresponding to the external device according to one or more policies stored in the communication device under a condition that at least one of a device name and an address of the advertising data matches the one or more policies; and building a wireless connection with the external device for communication in the connection interval.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a processing circuit, a communicating circuit, a memory and programs that are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processing circuit. The programs include instructions for: controlling the communicating circuit to communicate with the target device within frequency channels respectively in time slots to perform the frequency hopping communication; in a communication recovery operation, controlling the communicating circuit to scan within the frequency channels respectively in recovery time slots, while the target device is operated and locked within a recovery frequency channel in the frequency channels; and controlling the communicating circuit to be operated and locked within the recovery frequency channel, while the target device scans within the frequency channels respectively in the recovery time slots, wherein the time slots have a first length, and the recovery time slots have a second length shorter than the first length.

Abstract: A frequency hopping communication recovering method includes: communicating a first device and a second device within multiple frequency channels respectively in multiple time slots to perform a frequency hopping communication; in a communication recovery operation, configuring the first device to be operated and locked within a recovery frequency channel in the frequency channels; and in the communication recovery operation, configuring the second device to scan within the frequency channels respectively in multiple recovery time slots. The time slots have a first length, and the recovery time slots have a second length shorter than the first length.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first module including a first conductive component and a power control unit coupled to the first conductive component. The electronic device further includes a second module, a first hinge for pivoting the second module relative to the first module, and a first arm connected to the first hinge. The power control unit controls whether to execute a first power management status according to whether the first arm contacts the first conductive component as the second module pivots relative to the first module at a first angle by the first hinge.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes an electronic module and an electronic module fixing structure. The electronic module fixing structure includes a main body, a sliding component, a rod and an elastic component connected between the main body and the sliding component. The main body has a track with a positioning portion. The sliding component is slidably disposed on the main body. The rod is rotatably connected with the sliding component. An end of the rod is adapted to move along the track. When the end is located at the positioning portion, the end and the positioning portion are interfered with each other to position the sliding component. When the electronic module pushes the sliding component, the rod is rotated to drive the end to move away from the positioning portion, and the sliding component pushes the electronic module away from the main body through elastic force of the elastic component.
