  • Publication number: 20130172077
    Abstract: A system and a method for resource sharing and a playing device thereof are provided. The system for resource sharing includes a playing device and a first electronic device. Wherein, the playing device has a wireless connecting function, the communication unit of the first electronic device searches a valid wireless access point (AP) in a specific area, the first electronic device is connected to the first wireless AP found for obtaining the first ID data from the first wireless AP, the first ID data is then transmitted to the playing device. The first ID data is then provided from the playing device to the first wireless AP for an authorization and establishing a connection. After an electronic device is connected to the first wireless AP, the electronic device accesses the playing resource of the playing device via the connection between the first wireless AP and the playing device.

  • Publication number: 20090244379
    Abstract: A displayer having an unshielded on screen displayer (OSD) and a method for implementing the unshielded OSD are described. A microprocessor of the displayer having the unshielded OSD generates a plurality of first opaque items without a background color and a first background layer having a size the same as that of the first opaque items, and combines the first opaque items with the first background layer into a function menu. When a controller controls the first background layer to move around, the first background layer is overlapped with one of the first opaque items without the background color, and taken as an undercoat for the first opaque item, so as to highlight the information carried by the first opaque item. The first opaque item without the background color does not easily shield the screen image, so as to avoid shielding a viewable area of the screen.
