  • Patent number: 8238668
    Abstract: An object is held in any one of a plurality of specific orientations to present an aspect, corresponding to a specific orientation, to an imaging module of an electronic device. An image of the aspect is captured. The current captured image is compared with images in a library of image-command associations to find a match. If a match is found, the electronic device triggers a command execution of the matching image-command association. If no match is found, a new image-command association is established and stored in the library of the image-command associations.

  • Publication number: 20100161690
    Abstract: A file retrieval system for a memory device includes a reserved area and a plurality of clusters. A file is divided into a number of sections scattered on the clusters. The file retrieval system includes a write unit, a record unit, and a restoration unit. The write unit writes sections to the clusters. The record unit is for recording section allocation information of the sections to the reserved area, simultaneously during writing of the sections of the file to the clusters. The restoration unit restores data stored in the clusters, according to the section allocation information in the reserved area.

  • Publication number: 20100077112
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a management system and method for data storage. A storage management system comprising a plurality of data output units, a plurality of buffers, a memory, and a processor. The plurality of buffers correspond to the data output units is coupled to the data output units respectively and configured for storing data outputted from the data output units temporarily. The processor comprises a selecting module, a memory apportioning module, a copy module, and a writing module. The selecting module is electrically coupled to the plurality of buffers, and is configured for selecting a buffer from the plurality of buffers as a combined buffer. The memory apportioning module is electrically coupled to the combined buffer, and is configured for leaving out a memory paragraph in the combined buffer. The copy module is electrically coupled to the plurality of buffers, and configured for copying the data in the rest of the buffers into the memory paragraph of the combined buffer.

  • Publication number: 20090210464
    Abstract: A storage management system includes a storage unit with first and second partitions with consecutive physical addresses. The control unit manages the storage unit and has a measurement unit, arrangement unit, and reallocation unit. The arrangement unit arranges currently stored files in the two partitions. The measurement unit measures the file, the free space of the two partitions, a difference between the file size and the free space of the second partition, and determines whether the free space of the second partition is sufficient to store the file. The reallocation unit shares the free space from the first partition to the second partition.

  • Publication number: 20090135254
    Abstract: An image capturing device includes a main body with an image capturing unit received therein, a base, a pan and tilt mechanism for rotating the main body relative to the base, a viewfinder display window, and an object tracking system. The object tracking system includes an object obtaining unit, a storing unit, a detecting unit, a calculating unit, and a driving unit. The object obtaining unit is used for selecting and obtaining an object for tracking in the viewfinder display window. The storing unit is used for storing the information of the object. The detecting unit is used for detecting the position of the object image displayed in the viewfinder display window. The calculating unit is used for calculating an amount and direction of rotation for the main body. The driving unit is used for driving the pan and tilt mechanism to rotate the main body.

  • Publication number: 20090021631
    Abstract: An image capturing device includes a taking lens, an image sensor for capturing images of an object, an auto-focus unit for focusing the image capturing device, and an input device configured for inputting a command to capture an image by users. The auto-focus unit includes an image processing unit, a comparing unit, and a taking lens driving unit. The image processing unit is configured for comparing definition of the images to judge a clearest image therefrom, and gaining the in-focus position of the taking lens. The comparing unit is configured for judging whether the object is moved after the image processing unit gaining an in-focus position and gaining a new in-focus position if the object have been moved. The taking lens driving unit is configured for moving the taking lens to the in-focus position.
