An optical system is provided. The optical system includes a first optical module with a first light-entering hole, a second optical module with a second light-entering hole, and a third optical module with a third light-entering hole. The second light-entering hole is close to the first light-entering hole and the third light-entering hole. The focal length of the second optical module is different from the focal length of the first optical module and the focal length of the third optical module.

An image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes an aperture unit, an image sensor, and a first lens unit. The first lens unit includes a first light-entering end and a first light-exiting end for focusing an external light on the image sensor. The aperture unit, the first lens unit, and the image sensor are sequentially arranged in a travel direction of the external light.

The invention relates to a proximal monitoring device comprising a ring defining a volume in which a plurality of cameras is mounted. The cameras have fields that are angularly distributed around said ring and at least one of the cameras is associated with a device for scanning azimuthally in a plane normal to a central axis of the ring.

An optical system is provided, including a light source, a light shape adjusting element, a light guiding module, and a driving assembly. The light source emits a light beam in a first direction, and the light shape adjusting element changes a cross-section of the light beam from a first shape to a second shape. The light guiding module includes a base and a light guiding element connected to the base for changing the propagation direction of the light beam from the first direction to a second direction. The driving assembly drives the light guiding element to move relative to the base.

An optical system is provided, including a holder, a fixed module, a driving assembly, and a first resilient member. The holder is used for holding an optical element that defines an optical axis. The fixed module is movably connected to the holder and has a housing and a base connected to the housing. The base has a bottom surface parallel to the optical axis and a first pillar forming a first surface that is not parallel to the optical axis. The driving assembly drives the holder to move relative to the fixed module. The first resilient member is disposed on the first surface and movably connects the holder with the fixed module.

An electronic device includes a device body, a screen, and a photo-sensing module. The screen is mounted on a front side of the device body. The photo-sensing module includes a light emitter and a light receiver. The light emitter is arranged obliquely relative to the screen, and a direction of the emitted light from the light emitter is tilted towards the side with the screen relative to the device body.

An optical element drive mechanism is provided. The optical element drive mechanism includes an immovable part, a movable part, and a drive assembly. The movable part is movable relative to the immovable part. The movable part holds an optical element with an optical axis. The drive assembly drives the movable part to move relative to the immovable part. At least part of the drive assembly is disposed on the immovable part.

A driving mechanism is provided, including a movable portion, a fixed portion and a driving assembly. The movable portion is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly drives the movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly includes a biasing element generating a driving force, and a first electrical connection portion electrically connected to the biasing element. The biasing element is clamped at a first position of the first electrical connection portion by a first clamping force, and the biasing element is clamped at a second position of the first electrical connection portion by a second clamping force The first clamping force is different from the second clamping force.

In an optical unit, a first swing mechanism swings a holder with reference to the y-axis direction, and a second swing mechanism swings the holder with reference to the z-axis direction. A case has a first recess that accommodates at least a part of a first protrusion of the holder and a second recess that accommodates at least a part of a second protrusion of the holder. The first recess has a first side surface located on one side in the y-axis direction of the first protrusion, a second side surface located on the other side in the y-axis direction of the first protrusion, and a bottom surface. The second recess has a first side surface located on one side in the y-axis direction of the second protrusion, a second side surface located on the other side in the y-axis direction of the second protrusion, and a bottom surface.

The technology disclosed relates to enhancing the fields of view of one or more cameras of a gesture recognition system for augmenting the three-dimensional (3D) sensory space of the gesture recognition system. The augmented 3D sensory space allows for inclusion of previously uncaptured of regions and points for which gestures can be interpreted i.e. blind spots of the cameras of the gesture recognition system. Some examples of such blind spots include areas underneath the cameras and/or within 20-85 degrees of a tangential axis of the cameras. In particular, the technology disclosed uses a Fresnel prismatic element and/or a triangular prism element to redirect the optical axis of the cameras, giving the cameras fields of view that cover at least 45 to 80 degrees from tangential to the vertical axis of a display screen on which the cameras are mounted.
