    摘要: There is described a method, a sensing device as well as an optical pointing device including a sensing device for comparing light intensity between pixels. Light intensity between pairs of pixels of a photodetector array is compared as follows. First and second output signals generated by the photosensitive elements of a first and a second pixel of each pair are integrated over time to respectively provide first and second integrated signals. Integration of the first output signal is interrupted at the end of a first time period and the resulting first integrated signal is stored. Integration of the second output signal is continued until the end of a second time period and the resulting second integrated signal is compared to the stored first integrated signal to provide an output signal representative of an edge condition between the first and second pixel.

    摘要: There is described a sensing device for an optical pointing device comprising a plurality of pixels, each one of the pixels comprising a photosensitive element for generating a pixel output signal in response to radiation reflected from an illuminated portion of a surface, the sensing device further comprising processing means for determining, based on said pixel output signals, a measurement of relative motion between the sensing device and the illuminated surface and for generating cursor control signals based on this measurement. The sensing device further comprises circuit means for summing the pixel output signals of subsets of pixels including at least two pixels and for generating, for each of the subsets of pixels, a summed output signal, the processing means determining the measurement of relative motion based on the summed output signals.

    摘要: A protocol is used to coordinate the use of a common communication medium by one or more interrogating commander stations and an unknown plurality of responding responder stations. Each commander station and each responder station is equipped to broadcast messages and to check for error in received messages. When more than one station attempts to broadcast simultaneously, an erroneous message is received and communication is interrupted. To establish uninterrupted communication, a commander station broadcasts a command causing each responder station of a potentially large first number of responder stations to each select a random number from a known range and retain it as its arbitration number. After receipt of such a command, each addressed responder station transmits a response message containing its arbitration number. Zero, one, or several responses may occur simultaneously. By broadcasting requests for identification to various subsets of the full range of arbitration numbers and checking for an immediate error-free response, a commander station can determine the arbitration number of every responder station capable of communicating at the time. Consequently, a commander station can conduct subsequent uninterrupted communication with each responder station, for example by addressing only one responder station. Responder stations of this invention require minimal logic and circuitry to respond to multiple commander stations.
