Publication number: 20240135553Abstract: A movement detection method, applied to a navigation input device with a navigation pattern comprising a center pattern and a radial pattern. The movement detection method comprises: (a)capturing a sensing image comprising a center pattern image and at least portion of a radial pattern image by an image sensor, wherein the center pattern image corresponds to the center pattern and the radial pattern image corresponding to the radial pattern; (b)computing a translation of the navigation input device according to shift of the center pattern image; and (c)computing a rotation angle of the navigation input device according to a first pattern relation between the center pattern image and a first portion of the radial pattern image. The translation and the rotation angle can be precisely and sensitively detected even if the joystick device is miniaturized, since the translation and the rotation angle are computed according to the navigation pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: PixArt Imaging Inc.Inventors: Yi-Chung Chen, Chao-Chien Huang, Chung-Yuo Wu
