Abstract

An optical sensing system, comprising: a first light source for emitting first light to a first part of an object; a second light source for emitting second light to a second part of the object, wherein the first part is above the second part, wherein the first light is not emitted to the second part and the second light is not emitted to the first part; a uniform light source, for emitting uniform light to the object, wherein the first light source is below the uniform light source and the second light source is above the uniform light source; and an optical sensor, wherein a detecting region of the optical sensor comprises an adjustable upper half region and a lower half region. Such optical sensing system can reduce the effect that the arm causes for hand location calculating.

Claims (15)

1. An optical sensing system, comprising:

a first light source, configured to emit first light to a first part of an object;

a second light source, configured to emit second light to a second part of the object, wherein the first part is above the second part, wherein the first light is not emitted to the second part and the second light is not emitted to the first part;

a uniform light source, configured to emit uniform light to the object, wherein the first light source is below the uniform light source and the second light source is above the uniform light source; and

an optical sensor, configured to sense optical data generated based on the uniform light;

wherein a detecting region of the optical sensor comprises an upper half region and a lower half region, wherein a size of the upper half region is adjustable.

2. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the first light is dot light.

3. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the first light is line light.

4. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the second light is dot light.

5. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the second light is line light.

6. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the first light, the second light and the uniform light are not simultaneously emitted.

7. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the uniform light source emits the uniform light after the first light source emits the first light for a predetermined time or the second light source emits the second light for the predetermined time.

8. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the second light source emits the second light after the first light source emits the first light for a predetermined time.

9. The optical sensing system of claim 8 , wherein the uniform light source emits the uniform light after the second light source emits the second light for the predetermined time.

10. The optical sensing system of claim 1 , wherein the object is a hand.
