  • Publication number: 20130207804
    Abstract: A driver drowsiness prediction system includes a vital signal detection unit, a control unit and a network bridge module. The vital signal detection unit detects vital signals of a driver. The control unit receives the driver's vital signs, and stores at least a feature signal. The feature signal represents the vital signal pattern of losing consciousness. The control unit continuously compares the detected vital signal with the feature signal. When the vital signal is similar to the feature signal, the control unit issues a pre-alarming command. The network bridge module receives the pre-alarming command and is triggered to perform a network connection process. The network bridge module logs into a pre-determined social website according to a login script, and then sends a pre-alarming message thereon, wherein the pre-alarming message includes an event indicating the driver is near unconsciousness.

  • Publication number: 20130082947
    Abstract: A touch device includes N touch areas, N?1 non-touch areas and a processing unit. An i-th non-touch area of the N?1 non-touch areas is located between an i-th touch area and an (i+1) -th touch area of the N touch areas. When a first operation gesture is performed from the i-th touch area to the (i+1)-th touch area across the i-th non-touch area, the processing unit receives a first touch signal from the i-th touch area within a first time interval, does not receive any touch signal within a second time interval, and receives a second touch signal from the (i+1)-th touch area within a third time interval . When the processing unit determines that the second time interval is smaller than a first threshold, the processing unit executes a first command corresponding to the first operation gesture according to the first and second touch signals.
