  • Patent number: 8222585
    Abstract: A three-dimensional position detecting device includes an electromagnetic radiation source, a first sensing module having first sensing elements, and a second sensing module having second sensing elements. The first and the second sensing elements receive different radiation energies from different spatial direction angles generated by the electromagnetic radiation source relative to the first and the second sensing elements, so values of two spatial direction angles of the electromagnetic radiation source relative to the first and the second sensing modules are obtained according to magnitude relationship of the radiation energies received by the first and the second sensing modules. According to matrix operation of two spatial distances from the electromagnetic radiation source to the first and the second sensing modules and the two spatial direction angles, a spatial coordinate position of the electromagnetic radiation source relative to the first and the second sensing modules is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20090116730
    Abstract: A three-dimensional direction detecting device, including: an electromagnetic radiation source and a sensing module. The electromagnetic radiation source is used to generate electromagnetic radiations. The sensing module has a plurality of sensing elements for receiving different radiation energies generated by the electromagnetic radiations from different spatial angles. Therefore, the sensing elements respectively receive the different radiation energies from different spatial direction angles generated by the electromagnetic radiation source relative to the sensing elements, so that the value of a spatial direction angle of the electromagnetic radiation source relative to the sensing module is obtained according to the magnitude relationship of the radiation energies received by the sensing module.
