    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a sensor module, a sensor unit and a system for recognizing surrounding objects and defining an environment. The sensor module is installed in a sensor unit. The sensor module includes an optical element guiding the lights from the objects surrounding the sensor unit and to an image sensor, and the image sensor is used to sense the lights from the objects. The light can be directly from a light source inside the surrounding object or reflected by the object surface. The objects can be identified according to optical features obtained by the image sensor from surfaces of the objects. When the image sensor receives the two lights, guided by the optical element, and reads optical features being regarded as the unique IDs to identify the objects respectively. Therefore, an environment around the sensor unit can be defined.

    Abstract: A light-guide assembly and an access control system are provided. The light-guide assembly is used as an interface for touch input. The light-guide assembly includes a light-guide element and a light source disposed on a lateral surface of the light-guide element. The light source emits a first light with a first wavelength. The light-guide element has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an inner layer that is made of a light-transmissive material. The first light enters the light-guide element through the lateral surface and propagates inside the light-guide element for reacting to the touch event occurring on the upper surface. A verification data used in an access control system is formed when the touch event is sensed and identified. A light-activation element of the assembly activates the first light propagating inside the light-guide element and produces a second light that is used to provide a visual effect.

    Abstract: A positioning method and a handheld device for performing the method are disclosed. In the method, a handheld device captures images corresponding to positions of a reference when the handheld device points toward the reference. A first image position, a first tilt angle indicative of a rotation angle of the handheld device, and a first pointing coordinate of the reference can obtained. A second pointing coordinate according to the first image position and a second tilt angle are obtained. Therefore, a first displacement vector between the first pointing coordinate and the second pointing coordinate can be computed. A third pointing coordinate can also be obtained. When a substantial movement of the positions of the reference revealed in the images captured by the handheld device is found, an output pointing coordinate is obtained. The output can be outputting a cursor parameter for controlling a cursor controlled by the handheld device.

    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a handheld pointer device and a tilt angle adjustment method thereof. The tilt angle adjustment method includes the following steps. Images corresponding to the position of a reference point are captured as the handheld pointer device pointing toward the reference point to generate a plurality of frames. Whether the reference point has substantially moved is subsequently determined based on the plurality of frames. When determines that the reference point has not substantially moved, causes an accelerometer unit of the handheld pointer device to detect the accelerations thereof over various axes so as to update a first tilt angle being used currently to a second tilt angle, accordingly. The handheld pointer device may thus accurately and efficiently calculate the relative position of the reference point with the appropriate tilt angle of the handheld pointer device used.
