  • Patent number: 8914197
    Abstract: There is provided an optical raindrop detector including a light source, a light guide, an image sensor and a processing unit. The light source alternatively emits light with different brightness values. The light guide has an incident surface, a detection surface and an ejection surface, wherein the light source emits incident light into the light guide via the incident surface, and a plurality of microstructures are formed on the ejection surface to reflect the incident light to become scattered light toward the detection surface. The image sensor receives reflected light formed by raindrops in front of the detection surface reflecting the scattered light to penetrate the light guide and eject from the ejection surface, and generates image frames corresponding to the different brightness values of the light source. The processing unit calculates differential images of the image frames to accordingly identify rain intensity.

  • Patent number: 8766916
    Abstract: A pointing device includes two lenses with wide and narrow view angles respectively. In a short distance range, the pointing device utilizes the lens with wide view angle to increase visible range. In a long distance range, the pointing device utilizes the lens with narrow view angle to increase size of a formed image of a reference point. In addition, the pointing device senses images through both of the lenses with wide and narrow view angles to obtain rotational information. The pointing device can provide not only positional information but also angular information.

  • Publication number: 20120068940
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, an optical touch module, and a detecting unit. The housing includes a first body and a second body, and an angle is formed between the first body and the second body. The optical touch module executes a positioning function by sensing signals. The detecting unit is configured to the optical touch module, and is used for detecting the angle. When the angle is smaller than a predetermined angle, the detecting unit instructs the optical touch module to pause executing the positioning function, so as to avoid false position determinations by the optical touch module.

  • Publication number: 20120019443
    Abstract: A touch system comprises a transparent panel, a first image sensing module, a second image sensing module and a processing circuit. The first image sensing module is at least partially disposed on a first flat surface of the transparent for obtaining an image above the first flat surface. The second image sensing module is at least partially disposed under a second flat surface of the transparent for obtaining an image of the first flat surface through the second flat surface. When two pointers approach the first flat surface, the processing circuit calculates possible coordinates of the pointers according to the image obtained by the first image sensing module and calculates coordinates of the pointers according to the image obtained by the second image sensing module, so as to compare all of the coordinates to obtain actual coordinates of the pointers from the possible coordinates.
