摘要:
An authentication device or other type of low-power hand-held device comprises a processor, an external button alternately configurable in an unpressed state and a pressed state, and current drain mitigation circuitry coupled to the external button and a corresponding input of the processor. The current drain mitigation circuitry is configured to connect the input of the processor to a first potential when the external button is in the unpressed state and to connect the input of the processor to a second potential different than the first potential when the external button is in the pressed state, thereby limiting current drain arising from the external button being stuck in the pressed state.

摘要:
A technique involves the use of an electronic device having a real-time clock (RTC) circuit. In particular, the technique involves obtaining an RTC value from the RTC circuit. The RTC value is based on a previous time value and being arranged to represent current time. The technique further involves generating an adjustment factor arranged to adjust for imperfection in an oscillator of the RTC circuit, and providing a new time value based on the RTC value and the adjustment factor. The new time value represents current time at least as accurately as the RTC value.
摘要:
An event-photo-retrieval system and method has at least one event camera (1), a central database (3), an event-photograph selector (5) and a purchase terminal (6) which are programmed electronically. The event camera includes a digital camera which, for each event attendee (15), quantizes gestalt individual features for programmed face recognition software. The attendee photograph with face recognition software programming is digitized and transmitted to the central database. The event camera photographs event activities for providing event photographs (29) that include event groups (30), event attendees, and event-scenery photographs (10). With the event-photograph selector, event photographs are selectable by the individual attendee in accordance with face recognition software programming. With the purchase terminal, the event attendee actuates a credit-card purchase of any event photographs selected accordingly. An optional data-terminal camera (1) may be used to take pre-event photographs of attendees to which attendee information may be appended and stored in the cental database for photograph identification.
