This study considers the required capacity and education for the students who majoring in management information through describing the patent analysis of the company and the idea creation and prototypic implementation at classroom practice. This patent analysis of the company is a single case study of Hon Hai Precision which has received much attention in recent years. During the classroom practices,...
We developed an cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback learning device using maltisensor technology such as the Kinect and Wii Balance Board, in order to improve and promote lay rescuers' knowledge and skills in CPR. The proposed system can evaluate user CPR actions in real time and a low-cost way. Particular characteristics of this system are for laypeople to achieve the necessary posture during...
Because of the spread of using social networking service in various situations, it is becoming easier to transmit information.

The existing search engine system almost based on keywords from users inputting. In a network environment, people can make use of the pc or mobile device for information retrieval. The way of inputting keywords has lasted for more than 20 years until Siri appeared in 2011. Siri can do information retrieval and process by voice actions. Compared to the traditional search mode, this is a huge step forward...
Three-dimensional (3D) Image quality assessment (IQA) is becoming one of hot research area recently. 3D image refers to a technique for enhancing the illusion of depth and protrusion in an image by presenting two offset images separately to the left and right eye of the viewer. These two-dimensional images are combined in the brain to give the perception of 3D depth and protrusion. With the advent...
After programming test we usually use demerit point system. However, there is a possibility that the number of mistakes in the reply and for programming skills are not necessarily correspond and right assessment is not get. Then we developed trial product to evaluate students programming skill exactly. That product is named PEAS system. We analyzed examinee by PEAS system. As a result, we got not...
In order to solve the limitations of most of the current search engines only through the user's handwriting input keywords to read information, described new search engine system based on computer vision. Containing the information search and problem solve two basic parts. And for the needs of the people in daily lives, designed a number of convenience functions. Using web camera of mobile devices,...
