  • Publication number: 20140320409
    Abstract: An optical finger mouse includes a housing, a light source, a light guide mechanism, an image sensor, a processor and a feedback module. The housing is arranged for an object to be detected performing a motion control thereon, wherein the object to be detected slides or taps on the housing to perform the motion control. The light source is arranged for generating light. The light guide mechanism is arranged for guiding the light generated by the light source to project on the object to be detected. The image sensor captures reflected light generated from the object to be detected to generate a sensing result. The processor generates detection information according to the sensing result. The feedback module generates feedback according to the detection information.

  • Publication number: 20140240229
    Abstract: A computer readable recording media comprising at least one program code recorded thereon, a touch control method is performed when the program code is read and executed. The touch control method comprises the following steps: (a) detecting location data for an object relative to a detecting surface to generate at least one displacement data; (b) storing the displacement data to a storage apparatus and outputting the stored displacement data to a target apparatus from the storage apparatus after storing the displacement data for a predetermined time period, when the object touches the detecting surface; and (c) cleaning the stored displacement data when the object leaves the detecting surface.

  • Publication number: 20140210723
    Abstract: An optical mouse apparatus includes a light source circuit, a sensing circuit, and a processing circuit. The light source circuit is used for generating and emitting a light signal onto a surface so as to generate a light reflected signal. The sensing circuit is used for estimating an image offset of the optical mouse apparatus. The processing circuit is coupled to the light source circuit and the sensing circuit and used for generating and outputting a control signal to a terminal according to the image offset outputted by the sensing circuit. The sensing circuit is further used for detecting at least one of a moving speed or an offset direction of the image offset of the optical mouse apparatus, so as to dynamically determine whether to compress data of the image offset outputted to the processing circuit, for reducing data amount read by the processing circuit.

  • Publication number: 20140160024
    Abstract: An optical navigation apparatus and an optical navigation method are provided. The optical navigation apparatus includes a light source unit, an image sensing unit, and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is electrically connected to the light source unit and the image sensing unit. The light source unit generates a beam of light. The image sensing unit captures a plurality of images within a time interval. The processing unit determines that the beam of light is projected onto a touch object according to the images, calculates a piece of displacement information related to the touch object according to the images, generates a comparison result by comparing the piece of displacement information with a threshold, and sets a displacement resolution of the optical navigation apparatus according to the comparison result.

  • Publication number: 20140132565
    Abstract: An image sensing apparatus, comprising: a control unit; and an image sensor, wherein the control unit controls the image sensor to utilize a first image sensing region to sense a first image to output a first image signal in a first mode, wherein the control unit controls the image sensor to utilize a second image sensing region to sense a second image to output a second image signal in a second mode. The first image sensing region is smaller than a total image sensing region of the image sensor, and the second image sensing region is smaller than the first image sensing region.

  • Publication number: 20130236051
    Abstract: A computer readable media having at least one program code recorded thereon. An interference image determining method can be performed when the program code is read and executed. The interference image determining method comprises: (a) controlling a light source to illuminate an object on a detecting surface to generate an image; (b) controlling a sensor to catch a current frame of the image; (c) utilizing an image characteristic included in the current frame to determine a interference image part of the current frame; and (d) updating a defined interference image according to the determined interference image part.
