Patent number: 9846797Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for producing graphical indicators and interactive systems for utilizing the graphical indicators. On the surface of an object, visually negligible graphical indicators are provided. The graphical indicators and main information, i.e. text or pictures, co-exist on the surface of object. The graphical indicators do not interfere with the main information when the perception of human eyes are concerned. With the graphical indicators, further information other than the main information on the surface of object are carried. In addition to the main information on the surface of object, one is able to obtain additional information through an auxiliary electronic device or trigger an interactive operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yao-Hung Tsai

Publication number: 20170226752Abstract: A floor assembly includes a plurality of boards and bases. Each board is provided on the bottom surface thereof with a sliding groove. Each base includes a main body, a positioning member, and first and second buckling members. The positioning member is slidably disposed in the sliding groove of the board. The first buckling member is located at the left side of the main body and has a buckling block and a notch. The second buckling member is located at the right side of the main body and has an accommodating space and a protrusion. The adjacent bases are connected with each other in a way that the buckling block is disposed in the accommodating space and the protrusion is embedded in the notch. As a result, the floor assembly is simplified in structure and assembling process, thereby convenient in construction and stable in structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventor: Yao-Hung TSAI

Publication number: 20150059271Abstract: An outdoor floor covering includes a plurality of planks, a plurality of bases, and at least a fastening element. A positioning portion of each base is slidably disposed in a sliding groove of each plank. Adjacent ones of first sidewall surfaces of the bases are engaged with each other through engaging portions. Adjacent ones of second sidewall surfaces of the bases abut against each other through protruding and dent portions. At least a fastening element is engaged and connected between adjacent ones of the second sidewall surfaces of the bases. Hence, the outdoor floor covering of the present invention enables quick assembly and prevents the planks and bases from undergoing displacement horizontally or vertically. Accordingly, the outdoor floor covering is quick and convenient to lay, exhibits satisfactory structural stability, and enhances pedestrian safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2014Publication date: March 5, 2015Inventor: Yao-Hung TSAI
