Patent number: 7566859Abstract: An IR switching device, electrically connected to an apparatus, is provided. The IR switching device comprises an IR transmitter, an IR receiver, a processor, a controller. The IR transmitter is configured to emit an IR signal. The IR receiver is configured to receive a reflected IR signal to generate a response signal accordingly, wherein the reflected IR signal is generated after the IR signal is reflected and the response signal comprising a first signal as the IR receiver receives the reflected IR signal while the response signal comprising a second signal as the IR receiver does not receives the reflected IR signal. The processor is configured to process the response signal and for generating a processing signal after processing the response signal. The controller is configured to switch the apparatus according to the processing signal. One of an emission power of the IR transmitter and a reception power of the IR receiver is adjustable according to the distance requirement.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2006Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: A.A.A.
