    Abstract: A keyboard device includes an operation surface. One long side of the operation surface is referred to as a proximal side, which nears a user operating the keyboard device; and the other long side is referred to as a distal side. A key unit is positioned on the proximal side, wherein the key unit includes a plurality of keys. A camera module is positioned on the distal side. An angle between a border of a field of view of the light sensor and the operation surface is set at a particular angle thus user's hand lays outside the field of view of the light sensor when the user is manipulating the key unit.

  • Patent number: 8368652
    Abstract: The invention provides an optical touch device, including a main body, a keyboard and a light emitting member. The keyboard, placed on the main body and having a first end portion and a second end portion, includes a supporting frame, a keycap and a stopping member. The keycap is connected to the supporting frame and moves between a first position and a second position. The stopping member is connected to the keycap and moves simultaneously with the keycap. The light emitting member generates a light beam to the keyboard. When the keycap is in the first position, the light beam passes through the first end portion to the second end portion, and when the keycap is in the second position, the light beam is terminated by the stopping member, such that the light does not reach the second end portion.

  • Patent number: 8149215
    Abstract: The invention discloses a cursor control method applied to a presentation system. The presentation system comprises a computer, an imaging plane, an optical pointer, a camera, and a projector. The projector is a mobile or built-in projector of the computer for projecting output from the computer onto the imaging plane, wherein the output of the computer comprises an internal cursor generated by the computer. The optical pointer is used for projecting an external cursor onto the imaging plane. The camera is a mobile or built-in camera of the computer for capturing an image of the imaging plane. After capturing the image, a processor of the computer detects both a first position of the external cursor and a second position of the internal cursor corresponding to the image, calculates a shift vector between the first and second positions, and moves the internal cursor based on the shift vector.

  • Patent number: 8125511
    Abstract: The invention provides a three-party video conference system and method. The three-party video conference system, according to the invention, uses a second terminal apparatus, which can transmit data in different protocols for receiving and transmitting the compressed digital signals transmitted from a first terminal apparatus and a third terminal apparatus. Therefore, even though the first terminal apparatus and the third terminal apparatus can not transmit compressed digital signals to each other with the same protocol, the user still can achieve three-party video conferencing communication with the three-party video conference system.
