20140132524 | INTELLIGENT INPUT METHOD - An intelligent input method and intelligent input system are disclosed. The intelligent input system includes an electronic device and an input device. The intelligent input method comprises the following steps. Firstly, a touch input is received through an input interface of an input device. Then, plural control areas on the input interface are defined according to a touch position of the touch input on the input interface. The plural control areas are respectively correlated with plural input functions of the input device. The intelligent input method allows the user to input or select a target object or browse a web page or operate any graphical user interface containing randomly-distributed objects in an electronic device such as an intelligent TV or a digital multimedia player. Consequently, the target object can be selected and inputted in an intelligent, quick and intuitive manner. | 05-15-2014 |
20140115091 | MACHINE-IMPLEMENTED FILE SHARING METHOD FOR NETWORK STORAGE SYSTEM - A machine-implemented file sharing method for a network storage system is provided. The network storage system at least includes a first storage device, a second storage device and a network cloud. The first storage device and second storage device are in communication with the network cloud. The machine-implemented file sharing method includes the following steps. Firstly, a state of a target file of the second storage device to be retrieved by a user of the first storage device is marked as a freeze state. If it is determined the user of the second storage device is to modify the target file, a file access expediting operation on the target file is performed and a file access notice signal is issued to the user of the first storage device to expedite the retrieval of the target file. | 04-24-2014 |
20140111449 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EYES-FREE OPERATION OF TOUCH SURFACE - A tactile positioning device includes a film attached to a touch surface of a portable electronic device. The film includes at least a first tactile unit used as a positioning reference point of a key on the touch surface, and at least a second tactile unit being a linear tactile unit for defining an operating route or an operating range. The tactile feedbacks provided by the first tactile unit and the second tactile unit enable a user to sense a position of the key which is positioned by the first tactile unit and the operating route or the operating range defined by the second tactile unit, so as to operate the portable electronic device without having to look at the touch surface. | 04-24-2014 |
20120331214 | Defragmentation Method For A Machine-Readable Storage Device - A defragmentation method includes the steps of: a) configuring a processor to determine a type of a target machine-readable storage device coupled electrically to the processor; b) configuring the processor to select, from among a plurality of pre-established defragmentation algorithms respectively for performing defragmentation on different types of machine-readable storage devices, a defragmentation algorithm that corresponds to the type of the target machine-readable storage device as determined in step a); and c) configuring the processor to perform defragmentation on the target machine-readable storage device according to the defragmentation algorithm as selected in step b). | 12-27-2012 |
20090150515 | MULTI-INTERFACE STORAGE DEVICE - A multi-interface storage device used in a computer under power off status is disclosed and adapted for transmitting data and communicating with an external electronic device remotely. The multi-interface storage device used in the computer under power off status comprises a transmission interface, an internet interface, a storage unit for storing data and a processing unit. The transmission interface is connected with an electronic device inside the computer, and the internet interface is connected with the external electronic device. The processing unit is connected with the storage unit, the internet interface and the transmission interface for communicating with the external electronic device through the internet interface to enable the external electronic device to store and process the data stored in the storage unit under the power off status of the computer. | 06-11-2009 |
