    Abstract: There is provided a pixel circuit for performing analog operation including a photodiode, a first temporal circuit, a second temporal circuit and an operation circuit. Within a first interval, the photodiode detects first light energy to be stored in the first temporal circuit. Within a second interval, the photodiode detects second light energy to be stored in the second temporal circuit. Within an operation interval, the first temporal circuit outputs a first detection signal having a first pulse width according to the first light energy and outputs a second detection signal having a second pulse width according to the second light energy for being calculated by the operation circuit.

    Abstract: There is provided a portable electronic device including a backlight module, an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor and a processing unit. The backlight module illuminates with backlight brightness. The ambient light sensor is configured to detect ambient light intensity. The proximity sensor is configured to detect an object. The processing unit is configured to activate the proximity sensor when the ambient light intensity detected by the ambient light sensor is lower than a predetermined value or decreases more than a predetermined range, and to maintain or reduce the backlight brightness according to a detection result of the proximity sensor. There is further provided an automatic detection method.

    Abstract: There is provided a barcode detection device including an image sensor and a processor. The image sensor captures an image frame of a color barcode. The processor sequentially processes every row of the image frame to find at least one color segment in each row of the image frame, categorizes color segments of a same color in one cluster according to a position relationship and a color similarity of the color segments in the image frame, and recognize a color of the pixels in one cluster according to color parameters of pixels in said one cluster.

    Abstract: There is provided an optical encoder including a photodiode array and a code disk opposite to each other. The photodiode array includes at least three sets of position photodiodes and two index photodiodes arranged transversally. The two index photodiodes are adjacently arranged at the same side of the at least three sets of position photodiodes. A first set of position photodiodes and a last set of position photodiodes of the at least three sets of position photodiodes are partially covered to alleviate the total harmonic distortion. The rest position photodiodes of the at least three sets of position photodiodes other than the first and last sets of position photodiodes are not covered.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses an automatic cleaner for cleaning a surface. The automatic cleaner comprises: a light emitting device, configured to emit first light, wherein a first angle exists between a first emitting direction of the first light and the surface when the automatic cleaner is located on the surface, wherein the first angle is larger than 0° and smaller than 90°; an optical sensor, configured to detect first optical data generated based on the first light; and a processing circuit, configured to determine if the liquid or the colloid exists in a predetermined range of the automatic cleaner based on the first optical data. The processing circuit further determines a location of the automatic cleaner on the surface according to navigation optical data.
