Description of the invention (3) It consists of a processing unit. Wherein, the plurality of light source groups and the image sensing component are separated by a long distance, so that the light emitted by the plurality of light source groups is sensed by the image sensing component as a plurality of or a plurality of the same mapping plane. Point light sources, and the encoded light emitted by the plurality of light source groups is sensed by the pixel group of the area image sensor, and the processing unit judges after receiving the sensing signals transmitted by the area image sensor The plurality of light source groups are located at the positions of the multiple or the same mapping plane to determine the two-dimensional direction of the plurality of light source groups with respect to the image sensing component, and according to the light and dark time generated by the coded light The identity of the plurality of light source groups. Furthermore, the present invention can also use a linear image sensor to judge one-dimensional orientation, movement, identity, or control signals. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following exemplifies several preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings for detailed description as follows: [Embodiment] First, please refer to "Figure 1" is a first specific embodiment of the present invention. The light source 10 and the image sensing component 20 are separated by a long distance. Therefore, the light source 10 can be regarded as a point light source for the image sensing component 20, so there is no problem of the emission angle. The image sensing component 20 includes: a lens 2 2, an image sensor 24, and a processing unit 26. The combination of the lens 22 and the image sensor 24 can receive incident light, and the image sensor 24 can sense a voltage signal. In addition, the image sensor 24 is a planar image sensor, so that it can recognize a two-dimensional spatial direction.

200528688 五、發明說明(4) 當光源1 0可視為一點光源時,由影像感測器2 4端看 出去,光源1 0的位置當位於空間中的某個點。而對面型 影像感測器來講,光源1 0所構成的點映射為與面型影像 感測器平行的一個映射平面的一點。200528688 V. Description of the invention (4) When the light source 10 can be regarded as a point light source, the end of the image sensor 24 can be seen, and the position of the light source 10 should be at a certain point in space. As for the area image sensor, the point formed by the light source 10 is mapped to a point on a mapping plane parallel to the area image sensor.

實際運作時,光源1 0所發出的光為影像感測器2 4所 接收時,影像感測器2 4僅會有部分的像素感應到光源1 0 所發出的光訊號,亦即,其為對應到映射平面的該點光 源。只要我們知道哪個像素(或像素群)接收到光源1 0所 發出的光訊號,我們即可知道光源1 0所處的的方位。更 進一步地,比較多次接收到的光源1 0所發出的訊號,我 們即可知道光源1 0的移動方向。 本發明的第二具體實施例,請參考「第2圖」。本發 明在第一光源組1 0 a增加了一編碼單元1 4,其可控制光源 1 2的發光為脈波形式,也就是,在不同的時間區間中個 別為明暗。進一步地,透過編碼單元1 4的不同編碼,本 發明即可由第一光源組1 0 a輸出不同的控制訊號。當影像 感測組件2 0接收到第一光源組1 0 a所發出的脈波光訊號 時,只要經由處理單元2 4加以解碼即可輸出控制訊號, 進而控制連接的設備。In actual operation, when the light emitted by the light source 10 is received by the image sensor 24, only a part of the pixels of the image sensor 24 will sense the light signal emitted by the light source 10, that is, it is The point light source corresponding to the mapping plane. As long as we know which pixel (or group of pixels) receives the light signal from light source 10, we can know where the light source 10 is located. Furthermore, by comparing the signals received by the light source 10 received multiple times, we can know the moving direction of the light source 10. For a second specific embodiment of the present invention, please refer to "Fig. 2". The present invention adds a coding unit 14 to the first light source group 10a, which can control the light emission of the light source 12 to be in the form of a pulse wave, that is, the light and darkness are different in different time intervals. Further, through different codes of the coding unit 14, the present invention can output different control signals from the first light source group 10a. When the image sensing component 20 receives the pulse light signal from the first light source group 10a, it only needs to decode it through the processing unit 24 to output a control signal, thereby controlling the connected equipment.

此外,可增加一控制光源明暗的機制,也就是編碼 機制,好讓光源發光時可個別代表不同的身份 (Identity)。也就是,將編碼單元1 4的編碼方式改變, 例如,脈寬(P u 1 s e W i d t h )不同,或者,同一控制訊號的 明暗時間間隔不同等等,即可讓不同的光源組有不同的In addition, a mechanism for controlling the brightness of the light source, that is, a coding mechanism, can be added so that the light source can individually represent different identities when it emits light. That is, changing the encoding method of the encoding unit 14, for example, the pulse width (P u 1 s e W i d t h) is different, or the light and dark time intervals of the same control signal are different, etc., so that different light source groups have different

第11頁 200528688 五、發明說明(6) 組1 0 a、第二光源組1 0 b與第三光源組1 0 c採用「第2圖」 的架構,只要調整其中的編碼單元的編碼方式,也就 是,第一光源組1 0 a、第二光源組1 0 b與第三光源組1 0 c三 者的編碼方式不同,三者即具有不同的身份。不過,影 像感測組件當中的處理單元必須設定好三個光源組的解 碼方式。同時,可以辨認三個光源組的方向以及個別的 控制指令等等。 此外,由於從影像感測器2 4看出去為一個平面的影 像,並非立體的影像,因此,三個光源組可以視為在相 同的映射平面上。換句話說,三個光源組只要在足夠形 成點光源的距離以外,面型影像感測器即會將三者視為 在同一平面上。而三個點光源就有各自的方位、各自的 身份以及可以輸出各自的控制指令。 此種可辨認身份的方式,可運用於許多產品上。例 如,多人同時參與的互動式遊戲。 上述的各種實施例,係運用面型影像感測器來作二 維方向的判斷。事實上,運用相同的原理,本發明可延 伸至一維方向的判斷。請參考「第5圖」,本發明之第三 具體實施例。本發明將影像感測組件當中的面型影像感 測器換為線型影像感測器,構成線型影像感測組件3 0。 同樣地,由線型影像感測組件3 0當中的線型影像感測器 所看出去的所有光點,線型影像感測器均會將其視為一 維的映射線當中的一點。亦即,只要線型影像感測器感 測到光源1 0所發出的光,其即可於感測器當中的像素感Page 11 200528688 V. Description of the invention (6) Group 1 0 a, second light source group 1 0 b and third light source group 1 0 c adopt the structure of "Figure 2", as long as the coding unit coding method is adjusted, That is, the encoding methods of the first light source group 10 a, the second light source group 10 b, and the third light source group 10 c are different, and the three have different identities. However, the processing unit in the image sensing component must set the decoding method of the three light source groups. At the same time, the directions of the three light source groups and individual control instructions can be identified. In addition, as seen from the image sensor 24, it is a plane image, not a three-dimensional image. Therefore, the three light source groups can be regarded as being on the same mapping plane. In other words, as long as the three light source groups are far enough away from forming a point light source, the area image sensor will treat them as being on the same plane. The three point light sources have their own orientation, their respective identities, and can output their own control instructions. This identifiable method can be applied to many products. For example, an interactive game in which multiple people participate simultaneously. The various embodiments described above use a planar image sensor to make a two-dimensional determination. In fact, using the same principle, the present invention can be extended to one-dimensional judgment. Please refer to "Figure 5", a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the surface image sensor in the image sensing module is replaced with a linear image sensor to form a linear image sensing module 30. Similarly, for all light spots seen by the linear image sensor in the linear image sensor 30, the linear image sensor will treat it as a point in a one-dimensional mapping line. That is, as long as the linear image sensor senses the light emitted by the light source 10, it can be sensed by the pixels in the sensor.

200528688 五、發明說明(7) 測為電壓訊號,並輸出至處理單元進行處理,然後判斷 出其位於映射線的方位以及一維移動方向。 同樣地,將光源1 0換為如第一光源組1 0 a的組件,線 型影像感測組件3 0即可辨識第一光源組1 0 a的身份、控制 訊號。 此外,若同時採用多個光源組,例如「第4圖」的三 個光源組,同樣可辨識一維的三個光源組的身份、方 向、與控制訊號。惟其限制在於線型影像感測器的感測 角度,必須藉由鏡頭加以擴張其視角。200528688 V. Description of the invention (7) The voltage signal is measured and output to the processing unit for processing, and then it is determined that it is located on the mapping line and its one-dimensional moving direction. Similarly, by replacing the light source 10 with a component such as the first light source group 10a, the linear image sensing component 30 can recognize the identity and control signal of the first light source group 10a. In addition, if multiple light source groups are used at the same time, for example, the three light source groups in "Figure 4", the identity, direction, and control signals of the three light source groups in one dimension can also be identified. However, the limitation is that the sensing angle of the linear image sensor must be expanded by the lens.

以上所有的實施例,光源均可採用發光二極體(LED ) 與電源的組合。並且,可裝設開關或者控制面板來進行 對光源或光源組的輸出控制。 或者,光源可採用一反射裝置,藉以反射週邊的光 至影像感測組件。 雖然本發明之較佳實施例揭露如上所述,然其並非 用以限定本發明,任何熟習相關技藝者,在不脫離本發 明之精神和範圍内,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本 發明之專利保護範圍須視本說明書所附之申請專利範圍 所界定者為準。In all the above embodiments, a combination of a light emitting diode (LED) and a power source can be used as the light source. In addition, a switch or a control panel can be installed to control the output of a light source or a light source group. Alternatively, the light source may use a reflecting device to reflect the surrounding light to the image sensing component. Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention is disclosed as described above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the related art can make some changes and retouching without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The patent protection scope of the invention shall be determined by the scope of the patent application scope attached to this specification.
