Abstract:
A touch input device includes a primary touch panel, a primary touch driver, an environment compensation unit, a processor, and an operation module. The primary touch panel generates a first change of electric charge distribution according to a touch on the primary touch panel from a user. The primary touch driver generates a touch signal according to the first change of electric charge distribution to the primary touch panel. The environment compensation unit detects a second change of electric charge distribution of an environment and generates a compensating signal. The processor processes the touch signal and the compensating signal to produce a reliable touch signal. The operation module performs a function according to the reliable touch signal.
Abstract:
A method for switching radio receivers includes: directing a FM radio receiver or an Internet radio receiver of an electronic device to receive radio signals; monitoring the intensity of radio signals received by the FM radio receiver and the network data stream received by the Internet radio receiver periodically; determining whether a switch condition for switching radio receivers between the FM radio receiver and the Internet radio receiver is satisfied according to the radio receiver currently employed, the intensity of radio signals received by the FM radio receiver, and the network data stream received by the Internet radio receiver; and switching between the FM radio receiver and the Internet radio receiver if the switch condition is satisfied. A related electronic device is also provided.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An electronic device with time update function includes a radio module, a clock module, an audio input port, a storage module, and a processing module. The radio module receives and outputs audible signals from the broadcasts of a broadcasting station. The audio input port receives audible sound generated by the radio module, and the clock module provides a source of real time. The processing module determines whether the signals received by the audio input port include current time information, and if so whether the system time is consistent with the current time information. The processing module updates the stored initial time with the current time information and adjusts the system time as necessary. A time update method is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for measuring size of an object is provided. The method includes controlling a distance measurement unit to measure a vertical distance between an electronic device and the object in response to a measurement operation, controlling an image capturing unit to capture an image in front of the electronic device, which includes an image of the object in response to the measurement operation. Computing an actual size of the captured area according to the distance measured by the distance measurement unit and an angle of view of the image capturing unit. In addition, obtaining the image of the object from the captured image, and further computing the proportion of the image of the object in the captured image. Then computing the size of the object according to the proportion and the actual size of the captured area, and displaying the measured size of the object.
Abstract:
An electronic device capable of detecting environment brightness includes a camera and a processor. The camera includes a photo sensor. The photo sensor includes a number of photosensitive elements. The processor is to periodically turn on some or all of the photosensitive elements to direct the camera to capture an image, obtain R value, G value, and B value of each pixel of the captured image, and determine environment brightness according to the determined R value, G value, and B value of each pixel of the captured image. A related method is also provided.
Abstract:
An electronic device for initializing a data storage is provided. The data storage has been accessed. The data storage includes a plurality blocks, which comprise some bad blocks. Each block comprising a block marking area for writing a block identifier. The block identifier is for marking whether the block is a bad block or a good block. After the data storage is accessed, a bad-block table for recording the block identifier of each block is stored at a predetermined location of the data storage. When initializing the data storage, the electronic device accesses the bad-block table from the predetermined location of the data storage, erases data stored on the data storage, obtains the block identifier of each block from the bad-block table; and writes the block identifier to the block marking area of each block.
