  • Publication number: 20190073045
    Abstract: Keyset fingerprint sensors integrated within a keyset of an input device are described herein. A sensor key having an integrated fingerprint sensor is included within an arrangement of keys rather than being provided as a separate or external component. The fingerprint sensor operates to capture fingerprint data and initiate recognition processing responsive to actuation of the sensor key. In implementations, the cover includes a cut-out exposes the underlying fingerprint sensor so the fingerprint sensor is visible through an opening in the surface the key. Alternatively, the cover forms a surface designed to conceal the underlying fingerprint sensor. In this approach, the sensor key matches other keys within the arrangement of keys, such that the sensor key “blends-in” and is not visible from the surface of the key. In implementations, the sensor key includes a rigid PCB layer having fingerprint sensor componentry mounted to the PCB layer.

  • Patent number: 7825618
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display device comprises a display mounted to a shaft, and operable to revolve with the rotation of the shaft; a transmission mechanism for coupling an output shaft of a motor with the shaft; a control module for controlling the motor; a baffle plate located at any position that enables it to rotate in synchronism with the rotation of the display, and a detection module for detecting the baffle plate. During the rotation of the display, when the detecting module does not detect the baffle plate in a predetermined period of time, the control module causes the motor to stop running or to turn in a reverse direction. This vehicle-mounted display device not only is reliably operable and electronically controllable, but also has anti-clamping and self-protection functions and has a simple structure and low cost.

  • Patent number: 7735432
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display elevating device comprising a display rack for mounting a display, and being provided with a threaded structure; a screw rod, engaging with the threaded structure; a gear transmission pair for coupling the output shaft of a motor with the screw rod; a guide bar carrier, one end of which is connected to the base support, and on which lower guide bars are provided; upper guide bars located in the display rack; and a stop block, on which are provided with lower guide holes and upper guide holes, and stoppers. The vehicle-mounted display elevating device is provided with anti-clamping and self-protection functions, and can be fixed inside an instrument panel, thus reducing the possibility that the display is damaged due to long time exposure.
