Abstract:
An electronic device controlling method and a user registration method are provided. In the electronic device controlling method, when a target device receives a first and a second control commands which are identical, but performed by different users simultaneously or separately, the target device performs a first predetermined operation based on an identity of the user performing the first control command, and performs a second predetermined operation based on an identity of the user performing the second control command. In the user registration method, a user registered identity model corresponding to a user to be registered is established according to identity information of the user, and is mapped to a user profile comprising a relationship between the control commands and the predetermined operations. By acquiring the registered information, the target device is able to perform the user dependent operations.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of an intelligent nanny assistant are described. A method may involve determining whether a subject of concern is approaching a predefined area of an environment. The method may also involve controlling one or more devices in the environment to provide information in a way that attracts the subject of concern to move away from the predefined area in response to a determination that the subject of concern is approaching the predefined area.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of indoor positioning of a user and delivery of information thereto are described. A system may include a communication device and a plurality of networked devices. The communication device may receive incoming information which is intended for receipt by a user, and transmit a request signal responsive to the receiving of the incoming information. Each of the networked devices may receive the request signal, and determine which one of the networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information. The networked device situated to notify the user may proceed to notify the user of the incoming information.
Abstract:
A phone number switching method and an associated apparatus are provided, where the phone number switching method may be applied to a first electronic device. For example, the phone number switching method may include the steps of: determining whether a predetermined activity corresponding to both of the first electronic device and a second electronic device occurs, to generate a determination result; and according to the determination result, selectively sending a switching request from the first electronic device to a service provider, wherein a phone number is previously associated to a first subscriber identity module (SIM) within the first electronic device by the service provider, and the switching request asks for re-associating the phone number to a second SIM within the second electronic device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of automatically recording and porting of lifestyle data are described. A method may involve receiving recorded data from each of a first plurality of networked devices associated with a first location. The recorded data may pertain to usage of one or more of the first plurality of networked devices during a first period of time. The method may also involve storing the recorded data. The method may further involve applying the recorded data to one or more of a second plurality of networked devices associated with a second location different than the first location.
Abstract:
A method for displaying SIM card slot information for use in a device including M SIM card slots, each of which may have a SIM card inserted therein or no SIM card inserted therein. The method includes the following steps. A set of predetermined rules are first determined by the device. Statuses of the M SIM card slots corresponding to the set of predetermined rules are then acquired. Information regarding N of the M SIM card slots are displayed on a display unit of the device according to the set of predetermined rules determined by the current associated network and the acquired statuses of the M SIM card slots, where N =1.
Abstract:
A method for controlling audio playing of an electronic device, an associated apparatus and an associated computer program product are provided, where the method includes: controlling a touch panel of the electronic device to be active, to allow at least one touch gesture input to be received from the touch panel while an audio player application is running on the electronic device, wherein when the at least one touch gesture input is received from the touch panel, a screen of the electronic device is kept turned off; and determining whether a specific touch gesture input of the at least one touch gesture input matches a pre-defined gesture to generate a determining result, and controlling the audio player application to execute a pre-defined command corresponding to the pre-defined gesture based on the determining result.
