Abstract:
A FLASH system includes two system image partitions each storing an updating program, a first boot variable partition storing a first boot variable, a second boot variable partition storing a second boot variable, and a bootloader partition storing a bootloader program. The updating program checks whether the first boot variable is valid or not, and selects which system image partition to be updated according to the first boot variable. The updating program further checks whether the FLASH system is successfully updated or not so as to report back a failure or modify the value of the first boot variable and then copy all data of the first boot variable partition to replace those of the second boot variable partition. The bootloader program checks whether the first boot variable is valid or not, and selects which system image partition to be booted according to the first boot variable.
Abstract:
An image processing method for providing an output image for an instant messaging program is provided. The image processing method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image capturer captures an input image. Next, the input image is inputted to a dump memory block. Then in response to an operating event, a drawing data is input to a canvas memory block. The storing sizes of the dump memory block and the canvas memory block are substantially the same. Next, the drawing data is obtained from the canvas memory and is combined with the input image, so that an output image is generated in the dump memory block. The instant messaging program controls a virtual image capturer to obtain the output image from the dump memory block.
Abstract:
A control method of a storage apparatus including a control module and a storage element is provided. In the method, the control module provides a first and a second data transmission interface and a control interface, in which the control module respectively establishes data connections with a first and a second electronic device. Then, the control module transmits a first data between the first electronic device and the storage element via the first data transmission interface. In transmitting the first data between the first electronic device and the storage element via the first data transmission interface by the control module, when receiving a transmission request for a second data in the storage element from the second data transmission interface, the control module provides the second data transmission interface for transmitting the second data after the transmission of the first data has been completed.

Abstract:
A method and a storage apparatus for switching a data transmission path to transmit data are provided. The storage apparatus comprises a storage element, an interface connector, a connector control interface connected with the storage element and the interface connector, a wireless transmission module, and an apparatus controller connected with the storage element and the wireless transmission module. In the method, the apparatus controller receives a connection request from a remote apparatus by using the wireless transmission module, and accordingly transmits an inquiry message to the remote apparatus to ask whether to establish a wireless data transmission path. When a confirmation message returned from the remote apparatus is received, the apparatus controller closes the connector control interface and establishes a wireless data transmission path to provide the remote apparatus to access the data in the storage element.
