Patent number: 7428077Abstract: An electronic device controller includes an image sensor controller that controls an image sensor having an effective pixel region and a dummy pixel region, and a servo controller that performs servo control on a drive device that drives a carriage on which the image sensor is mounted. The servo controller performs the servo control based on servo control information (for speed control, initial position detection) read by some or all of the dummy pixel region of the image sensor. Alternatively, the servo control may be performed based on servo control information read by one or more separate sensors mounted on the carriage with the image sensor. Moreover, speed servo control may be performed according to speed control ranges based on servo control information for each speed range.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Eiji Satake, Kenji Kimura

Patent number: 7394575Abstract: An electronic device includes a carriage on which an image sensor is mounted, a motor that drives the carriage, and servo-control-containing printed matter provided in one or more detection areas of the image sensor or one or more independently provided optical sensors. The servo control information is used for speed control and initial position detection of the carriage. A servo controller performs the servo control on the motor via a motor driver based on the read servo control information. The printed matter is provided on a rear or underside surface of a support structure in areas irradiated by a light source for the image sensor. Printed matter for speed control may be provided in one area and printed matter for initial position detection in another. Servo control information on the printed matter may be read using a dummy pixel region of the image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Eiji Satake

Patent number: 7391454Abstract: An image sensor controller and methods achieve faster image reading speeds by controlling the frequency of image sensor transfer clocks ?1, ?2 in accordance with the particular output period. Such an image sensor controller includes a drive controller that supplies to a transfer section of the image sensor transfer clocks ?1, ?2 whose clock frequency during dummy pixel output periods is faster than it is during an effective pixel output period, or whose clock frequency during non-reading pixel output periods is faster than it is during a reading pixel output period. A pattern selector selects among clock patterns in a table for setting ?1, ?2 according to the output periods of the image sensor. Even when the clock frequency of ?1, ?2 changes, a transfer clock ADCK signal can be supplied at a constant clock frequency to an A/D converter.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Kenji Kimura, Eiji Satake
