Infrared remote control module and portable electronic device using same
First Claim
1. An infrared remote control module, comprising:
- an infrared detecting module configured for receiving optical signals and converting the optical signals into digital signals, the infrared detecting module comprising;
a lens barrel;
an infrared band-pass filter arranged in the lens barrel, the infrared band-pass filter being configured for permitting infrared optical signals into the lens barrel and filtering other optical signals;
a lens assembly arranged in the lens barrel;
an image pickup module arranged in the lens barrel, the image pickup module being configured for converting the infrared optical signals into the digital signals, the infrared band-pass filter, the lens assembly and the image pickup module being coaxially and optically aligned;
a collimator device selectably movable into or out of the lens barrel, the collimator device being configured for selectively collimating the optical signals;
a signal processing module communicating with the image pickup module; and
a controlling feedback module communicating with the signal processing module.

Abstract
An infrared remote control module (10) includes an infrared detecting module (11) configured for receiving optical signals and converting the optical signals into digital signals, a signal processing module (12) communicating with the infrared detecting module; and a controlling feedback module (13) communicating with the signal processing module. The infrared detecting module includes a lens barrel (110), an infrared band-pass filter (112) arranged in the lens barrel, a lens assembly (113) arranged in the lens barrel, an image pickup module (114) arranged in the lens barrel, and a collimator device (116) selectably moveable into or out from the lens barrel. By being moveable in such a fashion, the collimator device is configured for selectively collimating the optical signals, and, thus, the remote control module can be used for shooting or motion-based actions.
