Floating touch camera module, electronic device and touch method

The present disclosure provides a floating touch camera module, a display device and a touch method. The floating touch camera module includes: a lens with a light collection surface and a light emitting surface; an image sensor at one side of the light emitting surface of the lens, the image sensor configured to receive light rays from the lens and form sensing information; and an infrared cut filter film at one side of a light incident surface of the image sensor and configured to filter out infrared light rays. The infrared cut filter film is movable relative to the lens between a first position at which the infrared cut filter film directly faces the lens and a second position at which the infrared cut filter film is offset from the lens, thereby enabling the floating touch camera module to switch between a photographing mode and a touch mode.

A method of controlling a projector includes projecting an achromatic area image representing a drawing area in which the projector receives drawing using a pointer on a projection surface at a first luminance at a ratio on the projection surface, the ratio being smaller than or equal to a specific ratio to a maximum luminance at which the projector capable of project an image on the projection surface, detecting a position on the projection surface pointed by the pointer while projecting the area image, determining whether or not the position is included in the drawing area, and displaying, by the projector, an area including at least a part of an outline of the drawing area at a luminance higher than the first luminance when it is determined that the position is included in the drawing area.

Methods and systems relating to ultra wideband transmitters

Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction. Additionally, an energy detection receiver for IR-UWB is presented to similarly meet these design goals whilst being adaptable to address IR-UWB transmitter specificity.

A light outputting apparatus includes a light source that outputs a first light flux, a collimator that parallelizes the first light flux, a light separator that separates the first light flux into a first partial light flux and a second partial light flux, a first light flux width expander, and a second light flux width expander. The light separator causes the first partial light flux to exit in a first direction and the second partial light flux to exit in a second direction. When a first plane is assumed to be a plane containing the first direction and the second direction, the first light flux width expander expands a width of the first partial light flux in a direction along the first plane, and the second light flux width expander expands a width of the second partial light flux in a direction along the first plane.
