METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PAGE DETECTION USING LIGHT ATTENUATORS

摘要

A system for page detection using light attenuators is applied in a book to detect an opened page of the book. The book has N pages and each page has a page detection area in which at most M light attenuators are installed in each page detection area. A light source passes through the at most M light attenuators for attenuating intensity of the light source. M light sensing devices are installed in an area of the book that corresponds to the page detection area. The M light sensing devices are used to detect attenuated intensities of the light source. A controller is connected to the M light sensing devices for detecting the opened page based on a ratio of the intensities of the light source detected by the M light sensing devices on each page.

1. A system for page detection using light attenuators, which is applied in a book to detect an opened page of the book, wherein the book has N pages and each page has a page detection area, where N is an integer greater than one, the system comprising:
a plurality of light sensors in which at most M light attenuators are installed side by side in the page detection area of each of the N pages for allowing an external light source to pass through the at most M light attenuators thereby attenuating intensity of the external light source, where M is an integer greater than one and M
