  • Patent number: 11568697
    Abstract: A system includes a lighting module, a processing module, and photovoltaic units. Each of the photovoltaic units receives light reflected off a body portion which is illuminated by light from the lighting module, and converts light energy of the reflected light into electricity. The processing module stores modes each of which specifies a code set. When one of the modes is selected, the processing module activates the lighting module to emit light based on the code set specified by the mode thus selected. The processing module converts electrical quantities measured individually for the photovoltaic units into respective code parameters, and composes an identification code using the code parameters.

  • Publication number: 20200274013
    Abstract: A solar module includes a substrate, a light permeable cover plate, a cell layer, an encapsulate layer and a heat-insulation space. The light permeable cover plate faces a light entry surface of the substrate. The cell layer includes a plurality of solar cells disposed between the substrate and the light permeable cover plate. A total area of the solar cells is smaller than a total area of the substrate. The encapsulation layer is disposed between the substrate and the light permeable cover plate, and encapsulates the solar cells. The heat-insulation space is disposed either between the light permeable base plate and the first diffusion film or between the substrate and the cell layer.

  • Patent number: 10162431
    Abstract: An identification system includes an input device and a verification device. A plurality of photovoltaic panels of the input device cooperatively receive light reflected off an object that is illuminated by a lighting module. Each photovoltaic panel converts light energy of the light received thereby into electricity. The input device further includes an electrical measurement unit to measure electrical quantities of the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels, and an encoding unit to convert the electrical quantities into code parameters and to compose an input code using the code parameters. The verification device communicates with the input device, and verifies the input code.
