  • Patent number: 10704931
    Abstract: An optical detecting device includes a multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism and an optical detecting module, and shift of the multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism is determined accordingly. An actuating component of the multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism is moved in reciprocation at a first operating direction to output an instruction. The optical detecting module is detachably disposed to the actuating component. An interval between the optical detecting module and the actuating component is varied according to a relative movement between the optical detecting module and the actuating component at a second operating direction, and the actuating component can be shifted between different gears.

  • Patent number: 10061404
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates an optical navigation chip. The optical navigation chip is disposed on an optical navigation module. The optical navigation module includes a light-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit provides a light beam to irradiate a surface of a displacement generating unit. The light beam has a low divergence angle to reduce scattering. The optical navigation chip includes a sensing array and a displacement calculating unit. The sensing array is disposed corresponding to the surface. The sensing array receives a reflected light beam which the surface reflects, and captures an image once every capturing interval based upon the reflected light beam. The displacement calculating unit calculates a relative displacement between the optical navigation chip and the surface according to the images.

  • Publication number: 20170308191
    Abstract: Provided herein are an interactive system and a method thereof for controlling multiple remote devices. The method is executed by a portable navigation device to establish an interactive system including the portable navigation device, a host device and at least one controlled device. The portable navigation device, the host device and the least one controlled device communicate with one another according to at least one protocol. The host device receives an interactive interface provided by the least one controlled device. A cursor with respect to the host device is controlled by the portable navigation device. The least one controlled device corresponding to the interactive interface is controlled according to a motion of the cursor on the interactive interface to execute a function corresponding to the motion. Accordingly, the present invention achieves controlling the least one controlled device or transmitting data using the portable navigation device and the host device.
