20090098791 | HUMAN FIGURE TOY HAVING A MOVABLE NOSE - A human figure toy is provided. The toy includes a storage unit and a voice recognition unit. The storage unit stores a plurality of media files for providing audio questions to a user. The voice recognition unit is configured for detecting a response from the user after one of the questions has been provided and generating a signal correspondingly. The toy also includes a head with an aperture formed thereon. A reversible motor is secured within the head. A nose assembly that is driven by the reversible motor extends through the aperture. After one of the audio questions is provided, a controller controls the reversible motor to rotate in response to signals from the voice recognition unit, driving the nose assembly to move back and forth. | 04-16-2009 |
20090098794 | HUMAN FIGURE TOY HAVING A MOVABLE NOSE - A human figure toy is provided. The toy includes a storage unit, two pressure sensors, and two hand portions. The storage unit stores media files for providing audio questions and alternative answer options. Each of the two pressure sensors is associated with one alternative answer option. Each hand portion includes a light conductive portion and a frame portion. The toy also includes two light sources, each of which is placed on one frame portion. The toy includes a head that includes an aperture. A reversible motor is secured within the head. A nose assembly extends through the aperture. A processor controls the light sources to emit light after a media file finishes playing, prompting the user to initiate one of the pressure sensors. The processor also controls the motor to rotate in response to signals from one of the pressure sensors, driving the nose assembly to move back and forth. | 04-16-2009 |
20110141145 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD CAPABLE OF ZOOMING IMAGES - An electronic device includes a display screen, a processing unit, and a touch panel. The touch panel includes touch sensitive units, and each touch sensitive unit can be identified by an unique coordinate. The processing unit determines whether first two touch sensitive points are touched at the same time, and further determines whether two more touch sensitive points are also touched at the same time within a preset time interval. The processing unit calculates distance between the first two touched points and then a distance between the second two touched points. The processing unit compares the first distance value with the second distance value, and zooms in or zoom out a displayed image according to the result. A related method is also provided. | 06-16-2011 |
20120026086 | ELECTRONIC READING APPARATUS AND INPUT METHOD THEREOF - An electronic reading apparatus comprises an input unit receiving input operations, a detect unit detecting and capturing images reflected by the input unit and a processing unit configured to receive the images to generate interruption signals; determine whether the number of the interruption signals reaches a pre-determined value in a pre-determined time; calculate a movement direction and a distance of the object on the input unit if the number of the interruption signals reaches the pre-determined value in the pre-determined time; determine a cursor displacement on the display unit and display a movement track of the cursor on a display unit. An input method for previewing files is also provided. | 02-02-2012 |
20130091474 | METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF SEARCHING AND DISPLAYING SELECTED TEXT - An electronic device includes a storage unit, a touch display unit and a central processing unit. The central processing unit includes a control module, a searching module, and a spit-screen module. The control module generates a first window on the touch display unit to display a text document when the text document is opened, and determines a selected text of the displayed text document by a user according to touch positions when the touch display unit is touched. The searching module searches occurrences of the selected text in the text document, and the control module stores the searched text in the storage unit. The spit-screen module displays each occurrence of the selected text on a second window produced thereby with a size thereof smaller than that of the first window. A related method is also provided. | 04-11-2013 |
20130111334 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND PAGE PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF | 05-02-2013 |
20130152006 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF SIMULATING PAGE FLIP EFFECT - An electronic device capable of simulating page flip effect includes an input unit, a display unit, a page flip control module and a thickness control module. The input unit generates a flip-page instruction in response to a user's operation. The display unit displays an electronic document in a page flipping format which includes a currently displayed page and a margin portion adjacent to the currently displayed page, and the margin portion includes a plurality of displayed stacked margins of undisplayed pages. The margins cooperatively resemble a thickness of the undisplayed pages. The page flip control module flips the currently displayed page over in response to the flip-page instruction to display a page flipping effect on the display unit. The thickness control module adds or removes a margin displayed in the margin portion, in response to the flip-page instruction to present a variation of the thickness of the undisplayed pages accordingly. | 06-13-2013 |
20130152024 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND PAGE ZOOMING METHOD THEREOF - A page zooming method for an electronic device having a touch screen and a storage unit is provided. The method includes the following steps: generating operation signals in response to a touch operation applied on a page displayed on the touch screen; determining the touch operation being a zooming gesture if the touch operation comprising a press operation and a slide operation at a same time; determining the slide direction and determining the type of the zooming gesture according to the determined slide direction of the slide operation, the type of the zooming gesture comprising a zooming in gesture and a zooming out gesture; creating a zoomed page of the page displayed on the touch screen according to the type of the zooming gesture; and displaying the zoomed page on the touch screen. An electronic device using the page zooming method is also provided. | 06-13-2013 |
20140068495 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING HANDWRITING INPUT - An apparatus for processing handwriting input includes a touch display unit, a touch display control unit, a storage unit, a calculating unit, and a processing unit. The touch display control unit determines a character in response to a character operation by an input device, and a height and a width of an imaginary rectangle sized to fittingly encircle the character. The calculating unit enlarges the height of the imaginary rectangle by adding a given value to the height of the imaginary rectangle if the height of the imaginary rectangle is smaller than a predetermined value. The processing unit resizes the character displayed within the enlarged imaginary rectangle by a first scaling factor. The touch display control unit controls the touch display unit to display the resized character in one of rows of a character display portion provided by the touch display unit. A related method is also described. | 03-06-2014 |
