The at least two physical transmission mediums include a first physical transmission medium arranged to carry a first multiplexed signal including a first IF signal and a reference clock signal. The first IF signal and the reference clock signal are at different frequencies.

Abstract: A visible-light-image physiological monitoring system with thermal detecting assistance is disclosed. The system takes a visible-light image and a thermal image of a body at the same time. A processing unit identifies a body feature of the visible-light image and determines a coordinate of the feature. In a learning mode, an initial temperature of the body feature is determined from the thermal image according to the coordinate of the body feature. After then, a physiological status monitoring mode is executed to monitor the temperature changes of the body feature and output an alarm when the temperature is determined to be abnormal. Therefore, a monitoring accuracy of the visible-light-image physiological monitoring system is increased and avoids transmitting false alarms or no alarms.

Abstract: An optical image physiological monitoring system with radar detection assistance is disclosed. The system receives a visible-light image of a body and then identifies a chest feature of the visible-light image and determines a position of the chest feature. A processing unit controls a radar detector to move to aim a chest of the body. After then, a plurality of visible-light images and distance values from the radar detector are received continuously to determine whether the positions of the chest features are in a position change rage. If yes, a breathing frequency of the body is determined by the distance values received simultaneously.

Abstract: An image detection method for selecting a representative image of a user is provided. In the image detection method, a plurality of images of the user are obtained, and a plurality of feature parameters of the plurality of images are obtained. A face occlusion analysis is performed on the plurality of images according to the plurality of feature parameters to determine whether the plurality of images clearly show the user's face.

Abstract: An image detection method is provided. In the image detection method, images of a user are obtained, feature parameters are marked in the images, and detection results of the feature parameters in each of the images are evaluated. A body distribution analysis is performed on the images according to the detection result of at least one first feature parameter among the feature parameters to determine first position information of the user. A face occlusion analysis is performed on the images according to the detection result of at least one second feature parameter among the feature parameters and the first position information to determine second position information of the user. The at least one second feature parameter is different from the at least one first feature parameter. The second position information represents a position of the user.

The controller is coupled to the ejecting device and the network communication device and is configured to receive a control signal from the user device via the network communication device, and control an elastic member of the ejecting device to provide an elastic force to eject the object from an opening of the ejecting device according to the control signal.

Abstract: An interactive device for animals is provided, including a main body, a circuit module, a video/audio transceiver, a driving module, a first pusher, and a first communicating member, wherein the circuit module, the video/audio transceiver, and the driving module are disposed on the main body, and the video/audio transceiver and the driving module are electrically connected to the circuit module. The main body has a recess and an opening. The first pusher is movably disposed in the recess and connected to the driving module. The first communicating member communicates the recess with the opening. When the driving module drives the first pusher to protrude from an inner wall of the recess, the first pusher pushes an object in the recess into the first communicating member, and the object leaves the main body through the opening.
