Abstract: A multi-trail spot click-event detection method is disclosed, which uses a camera to capture a plurality of consecutive images from a display screen. The camera is connected to a host and sends the consecutive images to the host for determining if a click-event occurs. Firstly, pixels of each difference image with the brightness difference in a pre-determined range are selected to form blobs. Next, possible spots of the blobs in each difference image are found. Then, the possible spots found are assigned to a specific trail. Finally, when a spot of the specific trail is absent at a next time point immediately after the spot is presented, occurrence of a click-event is detected.
