  • Patent number: 9807372
    Abstract: An image processing device including an image sensor array, an image pre-processing unit, a depth information generator, and a focusing unit is provided. The image sensor array takes multiple images of a first object and a second object. The image pre-processing unit processes the images to generate two shift images associated with the two objects. The depth information generator generates depth information according to the two shift images. The depth information includes distance information associated with the first object. The focusing unit generates a pair of focused images that have the first object focused thereon according to the depth information and the two shift images.

  • Publication number: 20170024009
    Abstract: A mobile device and control method thereof are provided. The mobile device includes a life sensor, a driver, a touch detector, a heartbeat detector, a controller and a processor. The controller controls the driver to send a first driving signal. The life sensor generates a first sensing signal in response to the first driving signal. The touch detector determines whether the mobile device is touched according to the first sensing signal. When the touch detector determines that the mobile device is touched, the controller controls the driver to send a second driving signal. The life sensor generates a second sensing signal in response to the second driving signal. The heartbeat detector determines whether the second sensing signal includes a heartbeat pattern. The processor executes a corresponding operation according to whether the second sensing signal includes the heartbeat pattern.

  • Publication number: 20150257706
    Abstract: A method for physiological measurement and a portable electronic device adapted for executing the method. The portable electronic device includes a button and a display. The method for physiological measurement includes the following steps: transmitting at least one trigger signal when the button is pressed; transmitting a first optical signal towards the outside of the button through the button according to the trigger signal; receiving a second optical signal through the button; and obtaining physiological information according to the second optical signal, in which the second optical signal is an optical signal that is reflected when the first optical signal encounters an object.

  • Patent number: 7557949
    Abstract: An inkjet print control apparatus connected with a processor and a memory through a bus. The memory stores print image data. The inkjet print control apparatus fetches the print image data stored in the memory for further data operation in order to drive one or more inkjet heads. The inkjet print control apparatus includes a DMA controller, an instruction RAM and a capture processor. The instruction RAM stores a capture instruction for the print image data fetched. The capture processor is connected to the instruction RAM and the DMA controller for computing an address accessed by the DMA controller to the memory according to the capture instruction. The DMA controller accesses the print image data according to the address.
