  • Patent number: 11552638
    Abstract: An optical switch module including a light generation circuit, a light receiving circuit, and a control unit is provided. The light generation circuit includes a light generation unit and a control end, and generates light according to a control signal from the control end. The light receiving circuit includes a light receiving unit and a signal reading end, and is configured to receive light to generate a detection signal at the signal reading end. The control unit is configured to generate the control signal and receive the detection signal. The control unit further selectively configures the signal reading end in an input mode or an output mode. Before the control unit configures the signal reading end in the input mode to read the detection signal, the control unit configures the signal reading end in the output mode to pull up a potential of the light receiving unit.

  • Patent number: 11425804
    Abstract: A color-mixing lighting control method is used for receiving an original color-mixing light data to control a color-mixing light source. The color-mixing light source includes a plurality of light-emitting elements to produce a plurality of emission colors. The original color-mixing light data includes a plurality of original light intensity values corresponding to the emission colors. The color-mixing lighting control method comprising: determining a maximum value of the original light intensity values; calculating the light intensity percentage of each of the emission colors in the original color-mixing light data according to the original light intensity values; generating the corrected light intensity value of each of the emission colors according to the maximum value and the light intensity percentage of each of the emission colors; and respectively controlling the light-emitting elements by using the corresponding corrected light intensity value of each of the emission colors.

  • Patent number: 11422952
    Abstract: A wireless input apparatus is provided, applied to a computer host. The wireless input apparatus includes a wireless dongle and an input module. The wireless dongle is physically connected to the computer host to receive an effect command, and includes a data segmentation unit and a first transceiver unit. The data segmentation unit segments the effect command into a plurality of data segments. The first transceiver unit sequentially transmits the plurality of data segments outwards. The input module includes a second transceiver unit, a merging unit, an effect generation unit, and a control unit. The second transceiver unit is coupled to the first transceiver unit to sequentially receive the plurality of data segments. The merging unit merges the plurality of data segments into the effect command. The control unit receives the effect command, and controls the effect generation unit to generate an effect according to the effect command.

  • Patent number: 11327578
    Abstract: A control circuit for an input device including a micro-switch is provided. The control circuit includes an input circuit, a receiver circuit, a control unit, and a detecting unit. The input circuit includes a first contact and a second contact for electrically connecting to the micro-switch. The receiver circuit includes a third contact and a fourth contact for electrically connecting to the micro-switch. The control unit is electrically connected to the first contact and the third contact for providing an input signal via the first contact to the micro-switch and receiving a switching signal from the micro-switch via the third contact. The detecting unit detects a voltage of the second contact to generate a detecting signal. The control unit receives the detecting signal to determine a type of the micro-switch.
