Data filtering method and electronic device using the same
A data filtering method includes the following steps. First, m pieces of data are identified at first to m th time points of a plurality of time points, wherein a datum is not identified at an (m+1) th time point of the time points, and m is a positive integer Then, the identified m pieces of data are removed.
1. A data filtering method for filtering data generated by a sensing unit of an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) identifying m pieces of data by continuously acquiring, by an acquiring unit of the electronic device, the m pieces of data at first to m th time points, and failing in identifying an (m+1)th datum at an (m+1)th time point, wherein m is a positive integer;
(b) judging, by a judging unit of the electronic device, whether or not m is smaller than a predetermined value n, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 1;
(c) outputting, by a filtering unit of the electronic device, the identified m pieces of data if m is not smaller than the predetermined value n, and removing the identified m pieces of data at the first to the m th time points if m is smaller than the predetermined value n.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first to (m+1) th time points have equal period of time between two adjacent time points.
3. An electronic device, comprising:
a sensing unit for generating a plurality of data;
an acquiring unit for identifying m pieces of data by continuously acquiring the m pieces of data among the plurality of data from the sensing unit at first to m th time points, and failing in identifying an (m+1)th datum at an (m+1)th time point, wherein m is a positive integer;
a judging unit, for judging whether or not m is smaller than a predetermined value n, wherein n is a positive integer greater than 1; and
a filtering unit, for outputting the identified m pieces of data if m is not smaller than the predetermined value n;
wherein, the filtering unit removes a first piece of datum among the identified m pieces of data if m is smaller than the predetermined value n.
4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the first to (m+1) th time points have equal period of time between two adjacent time points.
5. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the sensing unit comprises a sensing wheel.
