  • Patent number: 10197759
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a main body and a dual-lens element and the ability of the dual-lens element to capture stereoscopic or 3D images remains notwithstanding changes in orientation of the device. The dual-lens element is rotatable on a surface of the main body and includes a rotating disk, a dual-lens module, a gravity sensor, and a controller. The gravity sensor detects a rotation direction and a rotation angle of the main body when the main body is rotated relative to a horizontal plane and the controller controls the rotating disk to rotate about the rotation angle by way of compensation, thereby maintaining the horizontal aspect of the dual-lens module.

  • Patent number: 9201661
    Abstract: A booting method is provided. In the booting method, a basic input/output system (BIOS) is activated to check a first set value. When the first set value corresponds to a fast boot mode, the BIOS performs a fast boot process, in which the fast boot process is interrupted when the BIOS receives a system control interrupt. The BIOS changes a second set value and the first set value according to the system control interrupt, so that the first set value corresponds to a normal boot process. Next, the BIOS is reactivated. Further, the BIOS performs a normal boot process when the first set value corresponds to the normal boot mode, in which the BIOS checks the second set value, so as to execute an operating process corresponding to the second set value and recover the second set value and the first set value.

  • Patent number: 8982158
    Abstract: A computer screen image displaying method is executed after power-on of a computer and includes: receiving data associated with a detected default display mode of a BIOS of the computer and a display mode stored in a display device coupled to the computer; and determining if the default display mode of the BIOS and the display mode of the display panel match, and if so, causing a video controller of the computer to output image signals according to the display mode of the display panel, and if not, causing the video controller to output image signals corresponding to the default display mode of the BIOS. Thus, screen orientation can be controlled during BIOS POST to spare the user the trouble of changing screen orientation under an operating system environment, thereby enhancing efficiency and saving system resources.

  • Patent number: 8748952
    Abstract: A system and method for image sensing is disclosed. An embodiment comprises a substrate with a pixel region, the substrate having a front side and a backside. A co-implant process is performed along the backside of the substrate opposing a photosensitive element positioned along the front side of the substrate. The co-implant process utilizes a first pre-amorphization implant process that creates a pre-amorphization region. A dopant is then implanted wherein the pre-amorphization region retards or reduces the diffusion or tailing of the dopants into the photosensitive region. An anti-reflective layer, a color filter, and a microlens may also be formed over the co-implant region.
