  • Patent number: 12057284
    Abstract: A switch device structure includes an assembly of a main body and an operation body. An electrical connection module and an elastic unit are mounted on the main body. The contact arm of the electrical connection module has a first member and/or a second member with variable arrangement position. According to the position or motion of the operation body, the elastic unit provides an elastic force to push the contact arm of the electrical connection module into a contacting circuit closed state or make the elastic unit separate from the contact arm to form a circuit open state. The arrangement form of the first member and/or the second member of the contact arm of the electrical connection module is variable in accordance with the specification of the switch to achieve NO mode and NC mode.

  • Publication number: 20240212169
    Abstract: A control chip coupled to a central processing unit (CPU) and including a selection circuit, a buffer circuit, a calculation circuit, and a motion judgment circuit is provided. The selection circuit selects some of the first image macro-blocks of a first image frame and some of the second image macro-blocks of a second image frame. The buffer circuit stores the selected first and second image macro-blocks. The calculation circuit accesses the buffer circuit and calculates the differences between the selected first and second image macro-blocks to generate a calculated result. The motion judgment circuit determines whether the first and second image frames are the same according to the calculated result. In response to the second image frame not being the same as the first image frame, the motion judgment circuit wakes up the CPU so that the CPU enters a normal mode from a low-power mode.
