  • Patent number: 12216856
    Abstract: A floating image display device comprises a floating image display module and a signal processing module. The floating image display module has a first upper assembling surface and a first lower assembling surface, and comprises a first pin located on the first lower assembling surface. The floating image display module is configured to form a floating image. The signal processing module has a second upper assembling surface and a second lower assembling surface, and comprises a plurality of second pins located on the second upper assembling surface. One of the plurality of second pins is detachably connected to the first pin. The signal processing module is configured to identify the floating image display module according to the position of the first pin corresponding to the plurality of second pins, and transmit a display signal associated with the floating image to the floating image display module through the first pin.

  • Patent number: 12147604
    Abstract: A touch feedback device includes an optical imaging module, an air supplying module, a sensing module, and a signal processing module. The optical imaging module generates a first floating image. The air supplying device forms an airflow field at the outline and/or around the first floating image. The sensing module is configured to sense the change of the airflow field, including the amount of airflow, the air pressure or the speed of airflow caused by the detected object to correspond to a position information. The signal processing module is configured to determine when the position information is inside the preset trigger area of the first floating image outline area, generates at least one feedback command, wherein the at least one feedback command is sent to the optical imaging module to let the optical imaging module generate a second floating image that is different than the first floating image.

  • Patent number: 11614837
    Abstract: A device and a method for generating floating images are provided. An optical imaging module generates a first floating image. A sensing module sends a detection signal to sense first position information of a tested object at a first time point, and generates a feedback signal according to the first position information when the first position information is within a contour range of the first floating image. A signal processing module is electrically connected to the optical imaging module and the sensing module to receive the feedback signal and generate at least one control command and/or at least one feedback command corresponding to the feedback signal. The at least one control command is transmitted to a controller to perform corresponding control on the controller, and the at least one feedback command is transmitted to the optical imaging module, so that the optical imaging module generates a second floating image different from the first floating image.
