Abstract: The present invention discloses a thermal pile sensing structure integrated with one or more capacitors, which includes: a substrate, an infrared sensing unit and a partition structure. The infrared sensing unit includes a first and a second sensing structure. A hot junction is formed between the first and the second sensing structures at a location where the first and the second sensing structures are close to each other. A cold junction is formed between the partition structure and the first sensing structure at a location where these two structures are close to each other. Another cold junction is formed between the partition structure and the second sensing structure at a location where these two structures are close to each other. A temperature difference between the hot junction and the cold junction generates a voltage difference signal. Apart of the partition structure forms at least one capacitor.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for controlling an object movement on a screen. The method senses a first change in a position of a pointing device in a coordinate system to obtain a first displacement, and controls the object movement by a first displacement output ratio according to the first displacement. The method senses a second change in a position of the pointing device in a coordinate system to obtain a second displacement, and controls the object movement by a second displacement output ratio when a difference between a direction of the first displacement and a direction of the second displacement exceeds a first angle threshold, wherein the second displacement output ratio is lower than the first displacement output ratio.
