Abstract: A motion detection method makes use of a reference sensor and a plurality of comparison sensors of a motion detection module to capture detection data. With the operation of a domain transformation and the use of discriminants (for direction, the number of times of movement, and speed), the number of sensors used can be decreased, and it is not necessary to use sensors with good uniformity. Moreover, conventional complicated algorithms can be simplified, and the influence on original detection data due to environment, electric noise and difference between sensors can be avoided, thereby precisely calculating out the motion direction and speed of the motion detection module.

Abstract: A fingerprint scanning device and an electronic device with a fingerprint scanning function are proposed. The fingerprint scanning device has a contact image sensing module, a signal conversion controller, a module controller and an interface controller. The contact image sensing module captures a fingerprint image. The signal conversion controller converts this analog fingerprint image to a digital signal. The module controller controls the contact image sensing module and the signal conversion module. The interface controller transmits the digital signal to a controller in an electronic device. The contact image sensing module is used to lower the cost and lengthen the lifetime of use of the fingerprint scanning device, and to make the captured fingerprint image clearer. The interface controller is connected to the signal conversion module and the module controller to make the digital signal transmitted by the signal conversion controller more easily accessible.

The structure of the light-guiding device makes the light from the light source to the sensed object more uniform.
