AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach simplifies circuit design, reduces processing load, and shortens development time by allowing the controller to focus on essential data, enhancing the efficiency and speed of interactive device operations.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, if users utilize the conventional image sensor 12 for generating pixel data, the micro-controller 14 has to receive and process all pixel data, resulting in a major burden while processing the image data.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of an interactive device 30 according to the present invention. The interactive device 30 can be one component of an interface controller, one component of a game controller, or one component of an interactive toy. The interactive device 30 comprises a processing module 44 that is a chip, and a controller 54. The processing module 44 comprises an image sensor 42, which is a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a CMOS image sensor (CIS), for generating a plurality of digital pixel signals. Then, the plurality of pixel signals is transmitted to the processing module 44. The processing module 44 comprises a substrate 41, an estimation unit 45, a calculation unit 46, and transmission interfaces 48, 52. In this embodiment, the image sensor 42, the estimation unit 45, the calculation unit 46, and the transmission interfaces 48, 52 are all integrated in a single chip. For an SOC solution, the image sensor 42, the estimation unit...

Abstract

An interactive device includes an image sensor for generating a plurality of pixel signals, and a processor for determining a static parameter of at least one image object of the image based on the plurality of pixel signals. A transmission interface is used for outputting a control signal based on the static parameter determined by the processor.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10 / 904,301, filed Nov. 3, 2004, which is included in its entirety herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to an interactive device, and more specifically, to an interactive device capable of transmitting parameters of image objects. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] In conventional interactive devices, image sensors are used to capture human motions as controlling instructions. Take electronic pets for example; the built-in image sensors installed inside the electronic pets functions as an “eye” of the interactive toy to capture image pictures of human motions. Then, the captured and digitized pictures are transmitted to the following device to identify the controlling instructions. Eventually, the electronic pets would act according to the identified instructions. [0006] Please refer to FIG. 1...
