发明名称 Optical mouse apparatus for adjusting exposure of sensed image output and related method thereof
摘要 A method used in an optical mouse apparatus includes: generating and emitting a light signal which is emitted to a surface so as to reflect and generate a light reflected signal; generating sensed image(s) according to the light reflected signal wherein the sensed image(s) are used for estimating an offset of the optical mouse apparatus; dynamically adjusting photometric exposure for the sensed image(s) according to a quality parameter, a moving speed, or an output offset number per unit time of the sensed image(s).

主权项 1. An optical mouse apparatus, comprising: a light source unit, arranged for generating and emitting an optical signal, wherein the optical signal is emitted upon a surface, and then forms an optical reflected signal; a sensing unit, arranged for generating a sensed image output according to the optical reflected signal, wherein the sensed image output is utilized for estimating an image displacement of the optical mouse apparatus; and a processing unit, coupled to the light source unit and the sensing unit, the processing unit arranged for controlling the light source unit to emit the optical signal, and controlling an exposure of the sensed image output to dynamically switch between at least two exposure value ranges according to the sensed image output, wherein the processing unit adjusts the exposure of the light source unit to dynamically switch between the at least two exposure value ranges according to a quality parameter of the sensed image output, the quality parameter is a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), when the SNR of the sensed image output is higher than a first signal threshold, the processing unit reduces the exposure of the sensed image output, and switches the exposure to a second exposure value range from a first exposure value range, and wherein the first exposure value range is higher than the second exposure value range.
