INPUT DEVICE AND BIOMETRIC INFORMATION DETECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603235 titled 'INPUT DEVICE AND BIOMETRIC INFORMATION DETECTION DEVICE
The abstract describes an input device that emits light towards a target object and a living body, with light reception units to capture the reflected light.
- Light source unit emits light
- Case with two surfaces, each with an opening to emit light towards different objects
- First light reception unit captures light from the target object
- Second light reception unit captures light from the living body
Potential Applications: - Medical devices for monitoring vital signs - Security systems for detecting intruders - Interactive gaming controllers
Problems Solved: - Efficient light reception from different sources - Targeting specific objects for data collection
Benefits: - Accurate data collection - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: - Healthcare monitoring devices - Security systems for homes and businesses - Gaming and virtual reality accessories
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device differentiate between light from the target object and the living body? 2. What is the range of the light reception units in capturing reflected light?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on improving the accuracy and sensitivity of light reception units in different environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
An input device configured to communicate with an information processing device includes a light source unit configured to emit light; a case including a first surface including a first opening and configured to emit the light toward a target object through the first opening, and a second surface including a second opening and configured to emit the light toward a living body through the second opening; a first light reception unit configured to receive first light from the target object through the first opening of the first surface; and a second light reception unit configured to receive second light from the living body through the second opening of the second surface.
