  • Patent number: 8582926
    Abstract: A hand-held scanning system and method thereof are described. A look-up table is created to generate a mapping relation between a plurality of reference amplitudes and a plurality of corresponding sampled positions. An analog-to-digital converter samples an analog signal and converts it into a digital signal. The digital signal represents a mapping relation between the sampled positions of the movement distance and the corresponding scanning amplitudes of the signal intensity. The hand-held scanning system ascertains the sampled positions corresponding to a former scanning amplitudes and a present scanning amplitudes according to the look-up table during the scanning stage for detecting the position variation status to determine whether the trigger signal is activated for image scanning or not.

  • Patent number: 8427711
    Abstract: A scanning controller, a scanning apparatus and a method for performing the scanning controller are disclosed herein. The scanning controller includes an image data processing unit, a memory control unit, a dummy line control unit, a buffer condition control unit, a motor condition control unit, a motor controlling unit and a relation control unit. Based on at least one of several predetermined contrastive relationships among each stored data amount with regard to an image buffer and its corresponding motor move timing, the relation control unit controls generation of a motor move timing from the motor controlling unit to drive a motor with variance of a scanned data generation rate and simultaneously enable determination of the dummy line control unit on which part of scanned image data should be skipped by catching of the image data processing unit.

  • Patent number: 8345322
    Abstract: A scanning apparatus having dual power mode is described. The scanning apparatus includes a detection module, a switch unit, and a power controller. The detection module detects a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal for generating a detecting signal. The switch unit receives the commands from the power controller for outputting the first voltage signal and/or the second voltage signal to the image acquiring device of the scanning apparatus. The power controller determines whether the first voltage signal is detected according to the detecting signal. While the first voltage signal is detected, the power controller controls the switch unit to output the first voltage signal and/or the second voltage signal to the image acquiring device. While the first voltage signal is not exist, the power controller controls the switch unit to output the second voltage signal to the image acquiring device.

  • Patent number: 8279196
    Abstract: A display device using a surface capacitive touch panel is proposed. Upon a normal mode, an external clock generator supports a clock source; meanwhile, an external clock generator, a signal generator, a current detector, a current-to-voltage converter, an analog-to-digital converter, a filter, an interface controller, a microprocessor, and the touch-position calculators are turned on. But under a power-down mode, the external clock generator, the analog-to-digital converter, filter, the interface controller, the microprocessor, and the touch-position calculators are turned off in order to reduce power consumption. Furthermore, the external clock generator is also turned off to minimize the power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20100245894
    Abstract: A scanning device capable of directly sending scanned images to a printing device to be printed and a related method are proposed. An image information is obtained by scanning with an image sensor module, and then stored in a storage device. When a print client detects a print request, a storing server delivers the image information to the printing device through a picture transfer protocol. Accordingly, the image information is to be printed upon a direct link between the printing device and the scanning device without needing a computer serving as a bridge.
