A method and apparatus for tracking input positions via Electric Field Communication (EFC) are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of receiving electrodes for EFC and a receiver unit. The receiving electrodes detect strengths of input electric fields. The receiver unit compares the strengths of the input electric fields with each other and generates position information regarding the input electric fields.

Method and apparatus for tracking input positions via electric field communication

A camera module includes first and second frames accommodated in housing, and a hand-shake correction unit. The hand-shake correction unit is provided on the first frame or the second frame and configured to generate a driving force in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of a lens accommodated in the first and second frames. Sidewalls of the housing opposite to each other comprise different thicknesses.

Camera module

There is provided a camera module including: a housing unit; a lens unit which is movable relative to the housing unit in an optical axis direction and directions perpendicular with respect to an optical axis; and an actuator unit moving the lens unit, wherein corners of the housing unit are provided with flat surfaces which are inclined with respect to an optical axis of the lens unit.

A data processing system includes a master device and a slave device. The master device includes a first single pad, a first control circuit, a first frame generator configured, and a first processing circuit. The slave device includes a second single pad, a second control circuit, a second frame generator, and a second processing circuit. A clock source is configured to provide a clock signal to the master device and the slave device. The master device communicates with the slave device through a single wire, the single wire being connected between the first single pad and the second single pad, wherein the single wire is bidirectional. A first frame is transmitted from the master device to the slave device, and a second frame is transmitted from the slave device to the master device.

Device including single wire interface and data processing system including the same

A camera module includes: a driving part comprising a lens module; a fixed part spaced apart from the driving part; a suspension wire having a first end fixed to the fixed part and a second end fixed to the driving part; and a damper part enclosing at least a portion of the suspension wire.

A master device communicates with a slave device through an asynchronous serial communications link. The master device includes a single pad configured to communicate a command frame including an address and a data frame including data with the slave device via a single wire; and a processing circuit configured to generate an oversampling clock signal from a clock signal, to perform a synchronization process for selecting one of a plurality of clock phases of the oversampling clock signal, and to perform a sampling process for sampling an each bit value included in the data frame transmitted from the slave device using a clock phase at the same position as the clock phase selected during the synchronization process.

A camera module may include a fixed part, and a driving part moved relatively with respect to the fixed part in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction. The driving part and the fixed part may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the optical axis direction, and the driving part may be supported by a plurality of suspension wires and a plurality of ball bearings, such that occurrence of tilting of a lens may be prevented when the driving part is driven in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction.

Camera module and portable electronic device including the same

A lens driving device includes a lens barrel supporting a lens; an autofocusing driving unit disposed on one side of a plane perpendicular to an optical axis direction based on the lens barrel to thereby drive the lens barrel in the optical axis direction; and a hand-shake prevention driving unit disposed on sides of the plane perpendicular to the optical axis direction other than the one side on which the autofocusing driving unit is disposed, to thereby drive the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
