Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensing module, and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) control apparatus and method are provided. The sensing module may be inserted into an input device, for example a keyboard, a mouse, a remote controller, and the like, and may sense a hovering movement of a hand of a user within a sensing area, and thus it is possible to provide an interface to control a wider variety of GUIs, and possible to prevent a display from being covered.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sensing module configured to sense a hovering movement of a hand of a user within a sensing area disposed in a side of an input device, the sensing module comprising: mechanical keys; a light emitter configured to emit light; a light sensor configured to sense reflected light, and configured to collect movement information regarding the hovering movement of the hand; wherein a top side of the light emitter is disposed higher than a top side of the li…
