    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 interactive imaging system includes an image system and a remote controller. The image system includes at least one reference beacon, a receiving unit and a host. The at least one reference beacon emits light in an emission pattern. The receiving unit is configured to receive a packet data. The host controls an enable time of the at least one reference beacon according to the packet data. The remote controller includes an image sensor and a transmission unit. The image sensor captures the light emitted from the at least one reference beacon at a sampling period. The transmission unit sends the packet data corresponding to the sampling period of the image sensor.

    Abstract: An image identification method is used to eliminate accumulated error of operation of a joystick. The joystick has an optical sensor adapted to analyze a movement of a plurality of identification dots disposed on a stick body. The image identification method includes receiving a series of detection images, setting a first identification dot of the plurality of identification dots as being a reference identification dot, and setting a second identification dot of the plurality of identification dos as being the reference identification dot and cancelling the first identification dot as being the reference identification dot when the first identification dot is near a border of the detection image. A position change of the reference identification dot in the series of detection images is used for identifying a control status of the joystick.

    Abstract: A joystick includes a casing, a stick body, an identification mark and an optical sensor. The casing has a hole. The stick body is movably disposed on the casing. The stick body has a first section and a second section. The first section penetrates through the hole to protrude from the casing, and the second section is inside the casing. The identification mark is disposed on the second section of the stick body. The identification includes a first line group and a second line group crossed to each other. The first line group and the second line group respectively has a plurality of lines with different widths and arranged adjacent to each other. The optical sensor is disposed inside the casing and adapted to acquire an identification image containing the identification mark to determine a gesture of the stick body.
