  • Patent number: 10988980
    Abstract: A blind cord guide seat includes a connection seat fixed under a blind rail and a cord restriction seat connected under the connection seat. The cord restriction seat includes a fixing section and a latch section. An outer face of each of the fixing section and the latch section is formed with a belt guide channel. The top end of the fixing section is formed with threaded holes for connecting with the connection seat by screws. When assembled with a cord winding device, an external force is applied to the latch section to outward bias the latch section to provide an opening for placing the cord winding device through the opening into the cord restriction seat. An iron-made hook bracket and a latch body are securely disposed at the upper end of the latch section for securely latching the latch section with the connection seat.

  • Patent number: 10908731
    Abstract: A fingerprint recognition device with a wake-up function is provided, which includes a signal wiring, a sensing array at least partially surrounded by the signal wiring, a first electrode, and a control circuit. The control circuit is coupled with the signal wiring, the first electrode, and the sensing array. The control circuit detects capacitance between the signal wiring and the first electrode in a first operation mode to generate a sensing result, and determines whether an object is on or near the sensing array according to the sensing result. If the control circuit determines that the object is on or near the sensing array, the control circuit switches from the first operation mode to a second operation mode. The control circuit drives the sensing array by the signal wiring to generate multiple sensing signals in the second operation mode, and calculates a sensed image according to the multiple sensing signals.
