  • Publication number: 20230244319
    Abstract: A method for identifying an object, an optical sensing apparatus and a system are provided. A controller of the system drives multiple light sources of the optical sensing apparatus to emit the multiple light beams with different beam angles, controls a light sensor to sense the lights reflected by the object, and performs the method for identifying the object. In the method, the light sensor is used to sense a first light emitted by a first light source with a first beam angle reflected by the object, and sense an intensity of the reflected first light. The light sensor is also used to sense a second light emitted by a second light source with a second beam angle reflected by the object and sense another intensity of the reflected second light. Therefore, the object can be identified by integrating information of the intensities obtained by the light sensor.

  • Patent number: 8504104
    Abstract: The present invention provides a serial transmission interface of a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device includes a control module, a display module and an image sensing module. The serial transmission interface includes a first line group coupled to between the control module and the image sensing module, and includes a second line group coupled to between the control module, the display module and the image sensing module; wherein when the control module sets the image sensing module to a master mode through the first line group, the image sensing module directly transmits captured image data to the display module through the second line group. The present invention further provides a portable electronic device and a data transmission method of the serial transmission interface of a portable electronic device.
