A member register list is generated according to the service authorizations of the communication devices. When the communication device has been registered in the member register list, the communication devices are grouped into the communication group according to the service authorizations of the communication devices, so as to accomplish device authorization of the communication devices in the NFC server. A WIFI Direct connection is then established between any two of the communication devices in the communication group to perform a WIFI service for each of the communication devices. | 05-01-2014 |
20140120862 | CLOUD SERVER AND METHOD OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE - In a method of an emergency response service using a cloud server, the cloud server communicates with a terminal device installed in a vehicle through a wireless network. The terminal device sends driving information of the vehicle to the cloud server through the wireless network. The cloud server determines whether the vehicle is involved in an emergency by analyzing the driving information of the vehicle, and obtains a real-time position of the vehicle from the driving information of the vehicle when the emergency happens to the vehicle. The cloud server generates a telephone contact list including a telephone number of a rescue center nearby the vehicle, generates rescue information according to the basic information and the driving information of the vehicle, and sends the rescue information to the rescue center according to the telephone contact list. | 05-01-2014 |
20140181760 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR UNLOCKING TOUCH SCREEN THEREOF - A method for unlocking a touch screen of an electronic device includes the following steps. First, touch signals are generated in response to manual touch operations on the touch screen. Second, a shape is identified according to the touch signals. Third, the touch screen is unlocked if the identified shape is substantially the same as a predefined shape, wherein the predefined shape is a shape of two fingertips simultaneously sliding in a direction from up to down on the touch screen. An electronic device equipped for unlocking a touch screen thereof is also provided. | 06-26-2014 |
20140281095 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING THUNDERBOLT CHIP ON MOTHERBOARD - In a method for integrating a thunderbolt (TBT) chip on a motherboard of a computing device, the motherboard includes a PCIe slot, and a platform controller hub (PCH) chip. The computing device includes a PCIe card plugged into the PCIe slot. The PCIe card includes a micro controller unit (MCU), and an EEPROM. The TBT chip, the MCU, and the EEPROM are integrated into the PCIe card. The PCH chip communicates with the TBT chip and the MCU through a system management bus of the motherboard. The method defines a TBT protocol parameter list used in the TBT chip, and sets GPIO parameters to support the TBT chip to perform various TBT protocol functions according to the TBT protocol parameter list. The TBT chip executes a TBT protocol function according to a GPIO signal output from the MCU. | 09-18-2014 |
20140292829 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR BACKLIGHTING LCD DISPLAY TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT DISPLAY DEFINITIONS - Electronic device and a method for backlighting a liquid crystal display (LCD) display to provide different display definitions, the LCD display includes a backlight unit composed of one or more backlighting blocks. The method determines a display definition of a video image and illuminates or turns off backlighting blocks of the backlight unit to display the video image accordingly. The video image is displayed in full screen by all backlighting blocks if the video image is an ultra high definition (UHD) image, and turns on a smaller number of the backlighting blocks to display the video image if the video image has other than UHD display definition. As such, the electronic device is controlled to save power consumption in different display definitions of the LCD display. | 10-02-2014 |
