  • Patent number: 11978244
    Abstract: Provided is an atypical environment-based location recognition apparatus. The apparatus includes a sensing information acquisition unit configured to, from sensing data collected by sensor modules, detect object location information and semantic label information of a video image and detect an event in the video image; a walk navigation information provision unit configured to acquire user movement information; a metric map generation module configured to generate a video odometric map using sensing data collected through a sensing information acquisition unit and reflect the semantic label information; and a topology map generation module configured to generate a topology node using sensing data acquired through the sensing information acquisition unit and update the topology node through the collected user movement information.

  • Publication number: 20080204415
    Abstract: In an optical coordinate input apparatus, a body includes an opening portion adjacent to a reflective surface, and a circuit board is installed in the body. An optical sensor module is installed in the body adjacent to the opening and separately from the circuit board, and has a light-receiving surface, of which an incident optical axis is inclined with respect to the reflective surface, and a light source, of which an exiting optical axis is inclined with respect to the incident optical axis. Accordingly, the circuit board is easily positioned in the body irrespective of optical and mechanical characteristics of the optical sensor module.

  • Patent number: 6741234
    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical mouse which can move a cursor on a display screen of a computer system by totally reflecting light, which is emitted from a light source and is reflected upon a surface after transmitting a glass, using a prism and varying a light path to condense the light on a light-receiving lens so as to allow an optical sensor to sense an image.

  • Publication number: 20020080117
    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical mouse which can move a cursor on a display screen of a computer system by varying arrangement of optical parts and structures using regularly reflected light in light emitted from a light source so as to allow the regularly reflected light to enter into a sensor. The optical mouse includes a light source for emitting light, an irradiating lens for condensing the light emitted from the light source and downwardly irradiating the light at a predetermined angle, a light-receiving lens for condensing light regularly reflected upon a reflecting surface on a path where light emitted from the light source and irradiated through the irradiating lens is reflected, and an optical sensor for sensing the light condensed through the light-receiving lens.

  • Patent number: 6283371
    Abstract: A laser diode module of an optical scanner includes a circuit board; a case fastened to the circuit board after its position is adjusted, the case having a laser diode embedded therein; and a slider guide fastened to the case. The slider guide has a barrel shaped; upwardly directed guide surface and a pair of further guide surfaces which are formed at either side of the barrels shaped surface. The three guide surfaces extend generally parallel to a laser beam produced by the diode. A lens holder having a body and a pair of guide pieces is seated on the barrel shaped guide surface of the slider guide such that it can slide thereon is formed with an inserting hole. The pair of guide pieces are on either side of the body and are seated on the pair of further guide surfaces of the slider guide, respectively.
