  • Patent number: 10824836
    Abstract: A fingerprint sensing module includes a fingerprint sensing pixel array, a plurality of column circuitries and a constant current circuit. The fingerprint sensing pixel array includes a plurality of sensing pixels in an array arrangement. Each column circuitry is electrically coupled to a row of the sensing pixels via a corresponding row signal line. The constant current circuit generates a bias voltage to the column circuitries according to a reference current. In response to the bias voltage level, a row output current provided by each column circuitry and flowing through each row of the sensing pixels is equal to or close to the reference current. Since the row output current coincides with the reference current, the row output current is not adversely affected by the external factors.

  • Publication number: 20200104561
    Abstract: A fingerprint sensing module includes a fingerprint sensing pixel array with row output nodes or column output nodes, a current source, and control switches. The first terminals of the current source and the control switches are electrically coupled to the row output nodes or the column output nodes. The sensed content of each sensing pixel of the fingerprint sensing pixel array is outputted to the corresponding row output node or the corresponding column output node. Consequently, an output voltage is outputted. The second terminals of the current source and the control switches are electrically coupled to a first voltage and a second voltage, respectively. The voltage levels of the first voltage and the second voltage are different. When the control switches are turned on, the voltage level of the output voltage is equal to or close to the voltage level of the second voltage.

  • Patent number: 9696813
    Abstract: A gesture interface robot (GIR) automatically measures a work zone to establish virtual puzzle cells located in a user gesture comfortable area. The GIR allows the user to easily move hands to press selected virtual keys so as to prevent injury. The GIR draws virtual keyboard images that display commands on virtual puzzle cells. The GIR uses video vision sensing to detect user's hand location on the virtual keyboard images. Special unique gesture hand sings are designed for enhancing hand control virtual key selections. A push-hand-z-dimensional distant is divided into 3 selectable zones. A real-time display highlights a selected key graphic image to be visually seen by the user. Using a UIRT cable to send IR signal to a remote control computer. The GIR instantly generates a virtual puzzle cell keyboard or controller that the user selected.

  • Patent number: 8552983
    Abstract: An intelligent object tracking and gestures sensing input device is operative to translate hand gestures of a user into data and commands for operating a computer or various machines. It is provided with video web cameras video vision camera, sensors. A logical vision sensor program in the device measures movements of the user's hand gesture into X, Y and Z dimension definitions. It defines a working space spaced therefrom into virtual space mouse zone, space keyboard zone, and hang sign language zone. It automatically translates the change of coordinates of the user's hand in puzzle cell positions in the virtual working space into the data and commands. Objects having enhance symbols, colors, shape, and illuminated lights are attachable on the user's hand to provide precision input.

  • Publication number: 20120193466
    Abstract: A Toilet Paper Box that allow use 1 hand to pulling toilet paper and detached desire length without need to touch the whole paper roll that could prevent spread on infection dieses. The device has 2 major components. The toilet paper handler has built or attach on with trigger method by ball-head hammer and partial-gear-wheel styles. The second key component is the contain box that has unique cutting holes and paper arrangement to produce the result from the operating of the handler trigger the swing ā€œLā€ shape leg to lifting that making the mouth frame biting action. After user tear out toilet paper by cutting teeth, the pulling force is disappear, then the handler's weight will rotate back to its start position, and the mouth frame is open. The extend paper end will stay outside the box as tong for the next pulling.
