Abstract: An information capturing device includes a positioning unit, an audiovisual recording unit and a control unit. The positioning unit tracks and acquires multiple satellite signals and calculates positioning data and a moving speed according to the satellite signals. The control unit is activated the audiovisual recording to perform audiovisual recording and controls the positioning unit to enter a first operation mode. In the first operation mode, the positioning unit updates positioning data according to a first cycle. While the audiovisual recording is performed, the control unit reads the moving speed from the positioning unit, and the control unit controls the positioning unit to switch to a second operation mode when the moving speed is less than or equal to a first threshold. In the second operation mode, the positioning unit updates the positioning data according to a second cycle longer than the first cycle.

Abstract: An information capturing device includes a setting storage unit, a positioning unit, an audiovisual recording unit and a control unit. The setting storage unit stores a fence setting of a hotspot. The positioning unit, coupled to the setting storage unit, detects a current position, determines whether the current position is within a first geographic boundary defined by the fence setting, and outputs an activation notification when the current position is within the first geographic boundary. The control unit, coupled to the positioning unit and the audiovisual recording unit, activates the audiovisual recording according to the activation notification to perform audiovisual recording so as to capture environmental data.

Abstract: A method of configuring a vehicular image pickup device includes: detecting a first shutter signal of a first image capturing unit and a second shutter signal of a second image capturing unit; outputting a light-up signal according to the first shutter signal and the second shutter signal; and outputting a driving current to an infrared light-emitting element according to the light-up signal.

Abstract: An image capturing device includes an optical lens, an imaging unit, a filter module, an infrared cut-off filter, a processing unit and a switching module. The filter module is located between the optical lens and the imaging unit. The infrared cut-off filter is provided on the filter module. The processing unit includes a first general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pin and a second GPIO pin. The switching module is coupled to the first GPIO pin and the second GPIO pin. When a first GPIO signal is in a first value, the switching module drives the filter module to move the infrared cut-off filter to an imaging optical path between the imaging unit and the optical lens. When a second GPIO signal is in the first value, the switching module drives the filter module to move the infrared cut-off filter away from the imaging optical path.
