  • Publication number: 20070177774
    Abstract: A fingerprint recognition system having detecting pore and a method are disclosed. The system comprises a fingerprint image capture apparatus, a pore detection apparatus, a fingerprint detection apparatus and a recognition apparatus. A fingerprint image is captured by the fingerprint image capture apparatus. A pore data of the fingerprint image is detected by the pore detection apparatus. A fingerprint data of the fingerprint image is detected by the fingerprint detection apparatus. The recognition apparatus is used to implement a comparison action for the fingerprint image and a pre-stored fingerprint image based on any one selection or combination from the pore data and the fingerprint data. The fingerprint recognition accuracy can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20070160269
    Abstract: An electrical switch device with feature identification and a method are applied for an electronic apparatus having a first power supply module. The electrical switch device comprises a switch, a feature identification module and a second power supply module. The second power supply module supplies power to the feature identification module. The switch generates a switch control signal based on an outside signal. The feature identification module is used to receive a feature signal and implements an identification action, then determines whether the first power supply module is activated based on the switch control signal and the identification result.

  • Patent number: 6873927
    Abstract: A control method for an automatic integrated circuit full testing system. A control device is utilized to control the testing process of the automatic integrated circuit full testing system. The steps for controlling the control device include driving an automatic transport device to fetch test integrated circuits from an integrated circuit supply rack to various testing computer stations. An automatic plug/unplug tool is driven so that each integrated circuit is plugged into the connector of a corresponding testing computer. All the testing computers are triggered to carry out respective preset testing programs. An image sensor is driven to monitor the an output image of the testing computers so that any abnormality in the integrated circuits can be determined. Thereafter, the automatic plug/unplug tool is driven to unload the tested integrated circuit from the testing computer.

  • Publication number: 20040022428
    Abstract: An automatic system-level test apparatus that includes a testing computer and at least one image sensor. The testing computer is used to carry and test an integrated circuit. The testing computer together with the integrated circuit incorporated therein forms a system-completed computer capable of conducting a system-level test. The testing computer includes at least one output device for outputting test images while running a pre-determined test program. An image sensor captures the images produced by the output device. The captured image is compared with an original image stored inside an image database to determine if a difference between the captured image and the stored image.
