     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0009]      FIG. 1  is a schematic diagram of an email receiving system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The system includes a display device  20 , an email server  10 , and a communication media  40 . The display device  20  includes an email program and an associated memory for storage of received emails. The display device  20  is connected to the email server  10  via the communication media  40 , for example, a network (e.g., the Internet, a local network, a local area network, or a wireless network). The display device  20  is configured to access and receive emails from an email account  30  by logging into the email server  10  via the communication media  40 , and acquire an image from the received emails to set a desktop background. Changing of the desktop background of the display device  20  is described below. 
         [0010]      FIG. 2  is a block diagram of a hardware infrastructure of the display device of  FIG. 1  in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The display device  20  includes a processing unit  100 , a storage unit  200 , and a display unit  300 . The storage unit  200  is configured to store the received emails. 
         [0011]    The processing unit  100  includes an email receiving and sending module  110 , a reading module  120 , an email detection module  130 , an image detection module  140 , an image setting module  150 , a storage module  160 , and a controlling module  170 . The email receiving and sending module  110  is configured to receive and send emails via the email account  30 . The reading module  120  is configured to read the received emails. 
         [0012]    The email detection module  130  is configured to detect whether parameters of the read email are consistent with predetermined rules. The parameters can be, but are not limited to, a sender&#39;s email address, an email subject, and email content, and so on. The predetermined rules can be pre-stored in the storage unit  200 , or can be set in an implementation process of the email detection module  130 . In the exemplary embodiment, the predetermined rules are that the email subject and/or email content of the read email include a verification code and the read email includes an image. The verification code can be a predetermined code or an identification code (ID) of the display device  20 . In the exemplary embodiment, the email detection module  130  detects whether the email subject and/or email content of the read email includes the verification code and the read email includes an image to determine whether the parameters of the read email are consistent with the predetermined rules. If the email subject and/or email content of the read email includes the verification code and the read email includes an image, the email detection module  130  determines that the parameters of the read email are consistent with the predetermined rules. Otherwise, the parameters of the read email are not consistent with the predetermined rules; the processing unit  100  processes the read email in a general manner. In the exemplary embodiment, the general manner can be, but is not limited to, storing the email, displaying the email, and so on. 
         [0013]    In another exemplary embodiment, the predetermined rules can be: the email subject and/or email content of the read email includes a predetermined keyword and the read email includes an image. The email detection module  130  detects whether the email subject and/or email content of the read email includes the predetermined keyword and the read email includes an image to determine whether the parameters of the read email are consistent with the predetermined rules. 
         [0014]    The image detection module  140  is configured to detect whether properties of the included image are consistent with predetermined properties if the parameters of the read email are consistent with the predetermined rules. The predetermined properties of the image can be stored in the storage unit  200 , or in an implementation process of the image detection module  140 . In the exemplary embodiment, the properties can be, but are not limited to, an image size, an image format, an image resolution, and so on. 
         [0015]    The image setting module  150  is configured to set the image of the read email as a desktop background of the display device  20  if the properties of the image are consistent with the predetermined properties. The image setting module  150  is configured to further edit the image until the properties of the image are consistent with the predetermined properties if the properties of the image are not consistent with the predetermined properties, and set the edited image as the desktop background of the display device  20 . In other embodiments, the image setting module  150  does not edit or set the image of the email as the desktop background of the display device  20  if the properties of the image are not consistent with the predetermined properties. 
         [0016]    The storage module  160  is configured to store the set desktop background of the display device  20  in the storage unit  200 . 
         [0017]    The controlling module  170  is configured to display the set desktop background of the display device  20  on the display unit  300 , either immediately or when the display device  20  is restarted. 
         [0018]      FIG. 3  is a flowchart of a method for remotely setting a desktop background of the display device in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. 
         [0019]    In step S 601 , the email receiving and sending module  110  receives an email via the email account  30  of the display device  20 . 
         [0020]    In step S 602 , the reading module  120  reads the received email. 
         [0021]    In step S 603 , the email detection module  130  detects whether parameters of the read email are consistent with the predetermined rules, if no, go to step S 604 , if yes, go to step S 605 . 
         [0022]    In step S 604 , the processing unit  100  deals with the read email in a general manner. 
         [0023]    In step S 605 , the image detection module  140  detects whether properties of the included image are consistent with predetermined properties, if yes, go to step S 606 , if no, go to step S 607 . 
         [0024]    In step S 606 , the image setting module  150  sets the image of the read email as a desktop background of the display device. 
         [0025]    In step S 607 , the image setting module  150  edits the image until the properties of the image are consistent with the predetermined properties, and sets the edited image as the desktop background of the display device  20 . In another exemplary embodiment, the image setting module  150  does not edit or set the image of the email as the desktop background of the display device if the properties of the image are not consistent with the predetermined properties. 
         [0026]    In step S 608 , the storage module  160  stores the set desktop background of the display device in the storage unit  200  and the process ends. 
         [0027]    In one embodiment the new desktop background image will be immediately displayed by the controlling module  170 , in another embodiment the controlling module  170  displays the set desktop background on the display unit  300 , when the display device is restarted. 
         [0028]    Although the present disclosure has been specifically described on the basis of the exemplary embodiment thereof, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiment without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
