  • Publication number: 20250039572
    Abstract: A method for dynamic correction for pixels of thermal image array, which is applied to the factory correction of a bolometer, includes: individual resistance calculation step: at a reference temperature, a reference current is sequentially provided to the thermistors of all pixels in an image sensing array, to measure a corresponding resistance array values and recorded in a memory; individual current parameter calculation step: according to the resistance array values and a rated voltage value, respectively calculate a current array value, and record in the memory; and the step of confirming the rated voltage value: at the reference temperature, when reading the individual pixel voltage value of the image sensing array, provide the individual current parameter corresponding to each pixel according to the current array value, and confirm it corresponds to the rated voltage value.

  • Patent number: 9460334
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a processor; a fingerprint recognition apparatus comprising a plurality of fingerprint sensing cells and a plurality of touch sensing cells; and a housing, wherein the processor is installed inside the housing. When an application executed by the processor does not utilize the fingerprint recognition apparatus, the processor controls the fingerprint recognition apparatus to enter a power-down mode to turn off the fingerprint sensing cells and the touch sensing cells. When the processor receives a fingerprint recognition request signal from the application, the processor further controls the fingerprint recognition apparatus to enter a power-saving mode to capture a first sensed image. When the processor determines that the first sensed image is a fingerprint image, the processor further controls the fingerprint recognition apparatus to enter an operation mode.

  • Publication number: 20120030475
    Abstract: A Machine-Machine Authentication method and a Human-Machine Authentication method for Cloud Computing. A Smart Card IC that includes a TPM/TCM/USB key function module and a storage memory, and a bio-feature identification method are used to achieve the Machine-Machine Authentication and Human-Machine Authentication. The Machine-Machine Authentication uses the Smart Card IC to achieve an authentication between the Server and the Client, and the Human-Machine Authentication uses the bio-feature identification method to achieve an authentication between the user and the Client or the user and the Server.

  • Publication number: 20070198460
    Abstract: A USB storage system is adapted to store data and exchange the stored data with an electronic apparatus via a universal serial bus (USB), and includes a memory having a control file folder containing at least one control file pre-stored thereon, the control file having a command data pre-stored therein corresponding to a control command of the storage system; and a controller for controlling data transmission between the memory and the USB. When the electronic apparatus accesses the control file via the USB, the controller executes a control command corresponding to the accessed control file according to the pre-stored command data. A method of controlling the storage system via the USB of the electronic apparatus is also provided to permit a user without the authority of an administrator to give a vendor command to the storage system, so that the functions of an access device can be conveniently utilized.
