An image processing apparatus and an image processing method are provided. A storage unit of the image processing apparatus stores an image and a piece of intensity statistical information of the image. The piece of intensity statistical information records that the image has a first number of pixels having a first intensity value, a second number of pixels having a second intensity value, and a third number of pixels having a third intensity value. A micro-processing unit of the image processing unit calculates a centralization degree of the second intensity value in the image according to the first number, the second number, and the third number. If the centralization degree is greater than a threshold, the micro-processing unit adjusts the intensity value of a pixel having the second intensity value in the image according to the second intensity value and the intensity value of the at least one neighboring pixel of the pixel.

A real-time navigation electronic device based on determining current traffic rule information includes a positioning unit, a user interface, an information detecting-and-generating unit and a processing unit. The information detecting-and-generating unit detects and generates information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit generates a navigation route according to the destination and the present position. The processing unit receives the information for determining real-time traffic rule. The processing unit determines if the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route. The processing unit re-generates the navigation route according to the destination, the present position and the information for determining real-time traffic rule when the information for determining real-time traffic rule conflicts with the navigation route or makes the navigation route not the quickest route. The processing unit outputs the navigation route.

Real-time navigation electronic device and method based on determining current traffic rule information, and corresponding computer readable storage medium for storing program thereof

An Internet/telephone adapter device and method is provided to automatically detect the communication type of an incoming call. The Internet/telephone adapter device comprises an auto-detecting means for providing a mechanism to detect the communication type of an incoming call by means of the feature rings. The feature rings have a predetermined feature distinguishable from non-feature rings. Whenever the auto-detecting means determines the communication type of the incoming call, it sends a control signal to CPU. In response to the control signal, the CPU will automatically switch the linkage to the Internet or to the PSTNs without further human operations.
