Abstract:
An electronic device for selectively reproducing information. The electronic device includes a display, a power supply for supplying power, a switch, and a processor. The switch is connected to the display and the power supply. The processor is connected to the switch. When the processor identifies that the selected information is audio type, the processor turns off the switch to disconnect an electrical connection between the power supply and the display. A power saving method for reducing the energy consumption of the electronic device is also provided.
Abstract:
A communication terminal includes an alerting unit, a capturing unit, an identifying unit and a phone answering unit. The alerting unit is configured for generating an alert signal when the communication terminal has an incoming call. The capturing unit is configured for capturing consecutive images according to the alert signal from the alerting unit. The identifying unit is configured for identifying the captured consecutive images from the capturing unit, and determining whether the last captured image shows an image of an ear. The phone answering unit is configured for answering the incoming call according to a determination result of the identifying unit that the last captured image shows the image of the ear.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a cover, a body, and two sliding members. The body defines two sliding slots. Each sliding slot includes a first portion, and a second portion opposite to the first portion. The two sliding members are pivotally coupled to the cover and are slidably received in the two sliding slots. The cover is rotatably and slidably coupled to the body by the two sliding members engaging with the two sliding slots, and is capable of sliding along the two sliding slots from the first portion to the second portion.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a signal generator and a processing module. The signal generator generates reset signals to reset the processing module. The signal generator includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a switching unit. The first capacitor receives an input voltage and charges accordingly when the electronic device is powered on. The second capacitor generates the reset signals based on the input voltage. The switching unit transmits the input voltage to the second capacitor to charge the second capacitor when the electronic device is powered on, and grounds the second capacitor after the electronic device is powered off. The reset signals are generated during the charging and discharging process of the second capacitor.
Abstract:
A detecting device is used for detecting a battery leak, a positive terminal of the battery is electrically connected to a first contact, a negative terminal of the battery is electrically connected to a second contact. The detecting device includes a first conductor, a second conductor electrically connected to the second contact, and a warning unit electrically connected between the first contact and the first conductor. The second conductor being electrically connected to the first conductor through electrolyte leaked out of the battery, thus the warning unit will be actuated to produce a warning signal.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a channel management method provide a predetermined channel information table to control channels in a television. Favorite channels are stored in the predetermined channel information table of the electronic device. In a predetermined channel mode, if an input channel code is not stored in the predetermined channel information table, the electronic device automatically adds the input channel code to the predetermined channel information table. If the input channel code is stored in the predetermined channel information table, the electronic device transfers the input channel code to the television and the television changes an active channel accordingly.
Abstract:
A keyboard includes a main body, a rotation detecting module, and a swivel hinge. The main body is disposed with a plurality of keys. The rotation detecting module is used for detecting the rotation of the main body. The swivel hinge is detachably connected to the main body. The swivel hinge includes an extending arm being rotatable with respect to the main body; and a supporting member pivotally engaging with the extending arm for supporting the main body.
Abstract:
A remote control for an electronic device includes a plurality of keys, a power supply, a power control unit, a code modulating unit, and a transmitter. The plurality of keys generates different first electrical signals when actuated. The power supply is operable to power the remote control. The power control unit detects a voltage of the power supply, and generates a second electrical signal when the voltage of the power supply falls below a predetermined value. The code modulating unit generates different key code signals according to the different first electrical signals, and a switch code signal according to the second electrical signal. The transmitter converts the different key code signals and the switch code signal into different wireless signals, and transmits the different wireless signals to the electronic device.
Abstract:
A method for outputting alert information. The method includes selecting broadcasting signals by a tuner of the television in response to channel selection signals from a microprocessor of the television; determining whether digital baseband signals being received from the tuner by the microprocessor; retrieving auxiliary data from memory of the television when the digital baseband signals are determined not being received from the tuner; and outputting alert information by an outputting means according to the retrieved auxiliary data from the memory.
Abstract:
An audio reproducing apparatus includes a power supply, an amplifier, a speaker, and a controller. The power supply is for supplying a voltage. The amplifier is for receiving the voltage and audio signals, amplifying the audio signals, and outputting amplified audio signals. The speaker is for reproducing sound after receiving the amplified audio signals. The controller is for receiving the voltage and generating a control signal to enable the amplifier. The controller includes a generator and a delay unit. The generator is for receiving the voltage and generating the control signal. The delay unit is for delaying the time of transferring the voltage from the power supply to the generator.
