Publication number: 20210038073Abstract: An eye tracking apparatus and an image capture module thereof for capturing an iris image are provided. The image capture module includes a carrier, a light source and an image sensing unit. The light source and the image sensing unit are both disposed on the carrier and fastened ahead of the eye by carrier. The light source emits a light beam to the eye, and the image sensing unit receives the light beam reflected from the eye to capture the iris image. The light source and the image sensing unit are arranged at two different sides of a longitudinal reference plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: HUI-HSUAN CHEN, JIA-HONG HUANG, WEN-YEN SU

Patent number: 9588597Abstract: An optical pointing device for detecting the direction of the user's finger is provided. The optical pointing device comprises a cover, a light source and a sensor. The cover comprises a press portion with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, as well as a side wall extending downwards from the periphery of the second surface. The light source projects a main beam onto the press portion of the cover. The main beam then forms a first beam passing through the press portion and a second beam reflected by the second surface. The sensor is adapted to receive the second beam reflected by the second surface, and detect the second beam by an algorithm to output the first displacement position. In addition, the light source and the sensor are covered by the cover, while the side wall is a flexible side wall.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: PIXART IMAGING INC.Inventors: Hui-Hsuan Chen, Wen-Yen Su, Tien-Chia Liu

Publication number: 20140354953Abstract: An optical assembly includes a light source and a beam splitter. The light source is used for emitting an incident beam. The beam splitter is used for dividing the incident beam into a plurality of outgoing beams. The incident beam and the outgoing beam are both invisible light. The outgoing beams enter an eyeball and form a plurality of glints on the eyeball. The glints are formed on the region outside the pupil.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: Pixart Imaging Inc.Inventors: HUI-HSUAN CHEN, WEN-YEN SU, HUNG-CHING LAI
