Abstract: A non-contact input apparatus for computer peripheral includes an induction module and a pointing module. The induction module includes an electric supply coil and an induction element, and the pointing module includes an energy coil and a non-linear element. The electric supply coil is used to send a first oscillation signal. The energy coil receives the first oscillation signal.

The induction element generates a control signal based on the second oscillation signal.

Abstract: A pen-like optical input device includes a body. A light source, a light sensing unit and a lens are disposed in the body, a light ray is emitted by the light source to the outside of the body, and a reflected light ray is generated outside the body. The reflected light ray then is received by the light sensing unit after being refracted by the lens, in which the light sensing unit has a light receiving surface, and a normal of the light receiving surface inclines to an optical axis of the lens, thereby forming an angle with the optical axis.

Abstract: A web camera with position adjustment function has a clamping apparatus, an extending arm and a camera module. The clamping apparatus includes a base and a supporting bracket. The supporting bracket is connected pivotally to a rear edge of the base and has a chamber and an open front. The extending arm is disposed inside the chamber of the supporting bracket of the clamping apparatus and is pivotally and slidably connected to the supporting bracket of the clamping apparatus. The camera module is connected pivotally to a front end of the extending arm. The extending arm can be operated to protrude out of the open front of the supporting bracket and then to rotate relative to the clamping apparatus. Therefore, a horizontal position of the camera module is changeable and various camera angles can be achieved.

Abstract: A specific wavelength selecting method for an optical input device includes the following steps. A light source for respectively emitting at least two light rays in different wavelength regions is first enabled. Next, the two light rays are projected to a working surface to obtain at least two corresponding reflected light rays. Then, optical signals of the reflected light rays are detected and compared to obtain a preferred optical result. Finally, a light ray in the most suitable wavelength region is selected and enabled according to the preferred optical result.

Abstract: A rotating mechanism for an electronic device has a stationary seat with a limiting recess, a limiting ring mounted through the stationary seat with inner and outer limits, a shaft mounted through the stationary seat and the limiting ring with a limiting protrusion. With the limiting protrusion pushing the inner limit and the outer limit sliding in the limiting recess, the shaft achieves two stages of rotation to enhance the rotating angle in both directions. Moreover, with the adjusting of the sizes of the components, the rotating mechanism may provide rotating angle by 360 to 700 degrees.

The computer peripheral device is clamped to a first object through the first restricting surface of the fastening body and the combining slot, or a second object is hooked to the computer peripheral device through the second restricting surface of the fastening body.

Abstract: An encoding module applied to a computer input device is described, which includes an encoder and a scroll wheel. The encoder is electrically disposed on a circuit board of the computer input device and is protruded with a revolving shaft. The scroll wheel has a wheel axle passing there through and is rotatably disposed within a shell of the computer input device. One end of the wheel axle has two opposite clamping arms, so as to clamp the revolving shaft. Once the scroll wheel is rotated, the revolving shaft is driven to rotate together.

Abstract: An optical trace detecting module is disposed in a computer input device. The computer input device is able to displace on a plane relatively, and has a light-pervious plate used for an object to contact with and move on a surface thereof. The optical trace detecting module includes a circuit board, a first projection set, a second projection set, and at least one optical path diverting element. An optical sensor is electrically disposed on the circuit board. The first projection set is opposite to the light-pervious plate. The second projection set is opposite to the plane. The optical path diverting element is disposed between the two projection sets and the optical sensor, so as to direct the sensing beams emitted by the two projection sets to reach the optical sensor, thereby generating corresponding control signals.

Abstract: A waterproof button mechanism of a computer input device has a bottom case having a coding module and at least two micro switches mounted therein and connected with the inner case. Two mounting holes are formed on a front end of the inner case to respectively correspond to the two micro switches on the bottom case. Two waterproof assemblies are respectively mounted on the two mounting holes. A top cover is mounted on the inner case. Two slots are formed through a front end of the top cover. A button is movably mounted in the slot and a front end of the button corresponds to the waterproof assembly. When the button is pressed down, the input device is operated by triggering the micro switches through the waterproof assembly. The waterproof mechanism is waterproof function to be added without sacrificing easy customization of appearance.

Abstract: A computer input device includes a housing, a move tracking module, and a light pervious plate. The move tracking module is disposed in the housing, and emits a sensing light. The light pervious plate is movably disposed between the housing and the move tracking module, and may be moved between a first position and a second position relatively to the move tracking module. In this manner, the sensing light selectively penetrates the light pervious plate and is emits out of the housing, or is directly emits out of the housing, so that the computer input device correspondingly executes a touch mode or a mouse mode.
