  • Patent number: 11502343
    Abstract: A method for detecting battery condition by monitoring air pressure and temperature both before and during the use of a sealed electronic device. A first air pressure is obtained before the device is powered on. A second air pressure is obtained during use of the device. A value of variations between readings is determined, and if the variation value in air pressure is greater than a preset value, an alarm is generated. An electronic device and a non-transitory storage medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11374317
    Abstract: An antenna array for a liquid crystal display able to function without a phase shifter includes at least two antenna units, each with an antenna module and a controlling circuit. The antenna module is at the side of a first substrate, a grounding layer, a feeding portion, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer also being included as a stack. The grounding layer and the feeding portion are on sides of the second substrate. The controlling circuit controls rotation of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer therein to change a dielectric constant between the grounding layer and the antenna. The operating frequency of each antenna unit is thereby changed and radiation beam or pattern of the antenna array is thereby adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11256974
    Abstract: A user terminal hardware detection system includes a computing device and an oscilloscope communicatively coupled to the computing device. The oscilloscope obtains a digital signal waveform diagram of a user terminal and sends the digital signal waveform diagram to the computing device. The computing device performs feature recognition on the digital signal waveform diagram using a fault analysis model to identify feature information of the digital signal waveform diagram. The computing device compares the identified feature information to feature information of a faulty hardware module and a fault type of the faulty hardware module in a fault type database. The computing device outputs the faulty hardware module and the fault type of the faulty hardware module represented by the feature information of the digital signal waveform diagram according to a comparison result.

  • Patent number: 10389859
    Abstract: A mobile terminal able to autonomously recognize when a user requires the mobile terminal to function as a mirror includes a housing, a screen with one-way see-through glass, a gravity sensor, a distance sensor, a front camera, a processor, and a storage device. At least two kinds of information are being collected, namely an orientation of the mobile terminal collected by the gravity sensor and a distance between a face and the screen collected by the distance sensor. Other information as to a facial expression and hand actions can also be collected by the front camera. The information is analyzed and a determination is made as to whether the user wishes to look in a mirror, and the screen will be controlled to be dark and shut down for the mirror function.
