The direction that relatively moves on photosensor array application of installation different time energy variation judgment means and surface, device is obtained first each induction unit in surrounding time (t0, t1) energy that receives, calculate again the mean value of the first received energy of all or part of induction of surrounding time energy, after each is responded to the obtained energy values of first different time (can voltage signal represent) and compares with mean values, can calculate the energy variation of surrounding time.Afterwards reference can be judged the direction of surrounding time energy variation in the energy variation of the proximity sensing unit of different time (t0, t1).Can judge the integrated moving vector by the first energy variation direction of a plurality of inductions at last.
The judgement of motion-vector can be carried out with reference to a plurality of induction units in the disclosed device shown in Figure 7 one of schematic diagram that light tracks.
Fig. 7 shows the induction unit combination 701,702,703 of a plurality of arrayed, 704,705,706, this example only illustrates to enumerate the energy variation that senses at different time (such as very first time t0, the second time t1) by adjacent induction unit and the schematic diagram of identification motion-vector.
Wherein t0 and t1 are former and later two sampling times, H and L represent respectively the high low voltage signal exported by aforementioned comparer, namely can be considered energy state (be an energy state compared to average energy), mainly is that the voltage signal by surrounding time changes the motion-vector of judging an integral body.Fig. 7 is shown as in the indivedual induction unit energy variation at former and later two different times.
Show several (at least two) induction unit such as signal in the combination 701 of induction unit, when wherein left was presented at very first time t0, two induction units sensed respectively L and two energy state of H; When entering the second time t1, the energy variation of two induction units then changes H and H into.As L, H(t0) change H, H(t1 into) time, wherein the energy state of induction unit changes H into by L, expression is by the substitute position of left of right-hand H, therefore can tentatively judge at this moment between in the interval moving direction of actual induction for left.
And another group of this induction unit combination 701 is responded to unit when very first time t0, and energy state is H and L; To the second time t1, energy state then is L and L, and what the first energy state of induction was wherein arranged changes L into by H, also is the substitute position of left of right-hand L of expression, therefore can judge a moving direction that has left.
Two of induction unit combination 702 interior lefts induction units are L and H at the energy state of very first time t0 for another example, to the second time t1 change into L and L, can find out that wherein H substitutes through the L of left to the right becomes L, therefore tentatively judges a motion-vector that has to the right.
In like manner, it is H and L at the energy state of very first time t0 that there are two induction units on right-hand in the induction unit combination 702, to changing during the second time t1 and becoming H and H, wherein right-hand L changes H into through the H of left substitute afterwards, therefore can judge a motion-vector to the right.
Induction unit combination 705 and 706 does not have arrow sign direction among the figure, a plurality of inductions unit does not have energy variation in the time interval of very first time t0 and the second time t1 in judging for this reason example, perhaps can't judge moving direction by energy variation wherein, be L and H such as induction unit combination 706 at very first time t0 energy state, to the second time t1, energy state changes H and L into, and this can't change to judge moving direction by energy state.Therefore, these two kinds of aspects do not have effective output signal.
When the direction of energy variation has all been judged separately by the whole induction unit of former and later two times, can whole judge an overall motion-vector.
The mode that another moving direction is judged is illustrated in figure 8 as induction chip in the disclosed device and carries out two of schematic diagram that light tracks.The conversion direction of the induction unit energy state of this example by different time is with the method schematic diagram of identification motion-vector, and wherein X is negligent value, and@is comparing of t0 and t1 institute induced signal, judges by this motion-vector.
When induction chip receives reflected light, a plurality of induction unit in the induction chip different time according to the signal energy that receives with average energy relatively the time, producing has the height varying voltage signal, shows that such as Fig. 8 generation has induced signal " "; In some cases, still might induction unit partly not have energy variation, perhaps the height of independent voltage signal is shown as negligent value " X " such as Fig. 8 at this moment.
According to enforcement aspect shown in Figure 8, in induction unit combination 801, obtain the first energy variation of adjacent induction through aforementioned comparer in very first time t0, be expressed as state " X ", wherein " X " is the value of paying no attention to, " " expression has the height change in voltage; Obtain the first energy variation of several adjacent inductions at the second time t1, be expressed as state "@@X ".The energy state first through each induction of very first time t0 and the second time t1 changes, this routine show state " X@@" changes "@@X " into, can judge that " " is to left dislocation (shift), therefore can judge that this induction unit combination 801 has a variation that is moved to the left, as shown by the arrows in Figure 8.
