Abstract

An indicator input device with image recognition function is used to control the indicator movement displayed on a host. The device includes a body, a displacement sensing unit, an image recognition unit, and a control unit. The displacement sensing unit detects the body movement. The image recognition unit is installed on the body. The control unit is coupled to the displacement sensing unit and the image recognition unit, and generates an indicator control signal to control the movement of the indicator according to the detection result of the displacement sensing unit, and generates an operation instruction corresponding to a body action according to the image recognition result of the image recognition unit.

Claims

1. An indicator input device with image recognition function, used for controlling the movement of an indicator displayed on a host, and including:

a body;

a displacement sensing unit, for detecting the movement of the body;

an image recognition unit, installed on the body; and

a control unit, coupled to the displacement sensing unit and the image recognition unit, and generating an indicator control signal to control the movement of the indicator according to the detection result of the displacement sensing unit, and generating an operation instruction corresponding to a body action according to the image recognition result of the image recognition unit.

2. The indicator input device according to claim 1, further including a memory unit, which is coupled to the control unit and stores a contrast table, the contrast table recording the corresponding relationship between the body action and the operation instruction.

3. The indicator input device according to claim 1, further including a switching unit, which is coupled to the control unit, the control unit controlling the image recognition unit to be enabled or disabled according to a switching signal outputted by the switching unit.

4. The indicator input device according to claim 3, wherein the switching unit is a switch or a switching button.

5. The indicator input device according to claim 3, wherein the switching unit is a distance sensor.

6. The indicator input device according to claim 3, wherein the switching unit is a light detector.

7. The indicator input device according to claim 1, wherein the operation instruction is outputted to the host and controls an output picture of the host to perform a display control of previous page, next page, scrolling, amplification and/or contraction.

8. The indicator input device according to claim 1, wherein the image recognition unit is an image sensor.

9. The indicator input device according to claim 1, wherein the indicator input device is a mouse.

10. The indicator input device according to claim 1, wherein the host is a television device, a game device or a computer device.
