A computer peripheral device is provided. The computer peripheral device is adapted to be installed in an electronic device supporting signal transmission of a first signal frequency. The computer peripheral device includes a human interface device (HID) and a bridging device. The HID includes a control unit to support signal transmission of a second signal frequency. The bridging device includes a first universal serial bus (USB) interface unit and a second USB interface unit. The first USB interface unit is adapted to be electrically connected to the electronic device, and supports signal transmission of the first signal frequency. The second USB interface unit is adapted to be electrically connected to the HID. The second USB interface unit regards the HID as a communication device class (CDC) device, instructs the control unit to generate an input signal at a timing corresponding to the first signal frequency, and transmits the input signal to the electronic device.

Computer peripheral device

An optical switch module including a light generation circuit, a light receiving circuit, and a control unit is provided. The light generation circuit includes a light generation unit and a control end, and generates light according to a control signal from the control end. The light receiving circuit includes a light receiving unit and a signal reading end, and is configured to receive light to generate a detection signal at the signal reading end. The control unit is configured to generate the control signal and receive the detection signal. The control unit further selectively configures the signal reading end in an input mode or an output mode. Before the control unit configures the signal reading end in the input mode to read the detection signal, the control unit configures the signal reading end in the output mode to pull up a potential of the light receiving unit.

Optical switch module and control method thereof

A color-mixing lighting control method is used for receiving an original color-mixing light data to control a color-mixing light source. The color-mixing light source includes a plurality of light-emitting elements to produce a plurality of emission colors. The original color-mixing light data includes a plurality of original light intensity values corresponding to the emission colors. The color-mixing lighting control method comprising: determining a maximum value of the original light intensity values; calculating the light intensity percentage of each of the emission colors in the original color-mixing light data according to the original light intensity values; generating the corrected light intensity value of each of the emission colors according to the maximum value and the light intensity percentage of each of the emission colors; and respectively controlling the light-emitting elements by using the corresponding corrected light intensity value of each of the emission colors.

Color-mixing lighting control method and color-mixing lighting system using the same

A wireless input apparatus is provided, applied to a computer host. The wireless input apparatus includes a wireless dongle and an input module. The wireless dongle is physically connected to the computer host to receive an effect command, and includes a data segmentation unit and a first transceiver unit. The data segmentation unit segments the effect command into a plurality of data segments. The first transceiver unit sequentially transmits the plurality of data segments outwards. The input module includes a second transceiver unit, a merging unit, an effect generation unit, and a control unit. The second transceiver unit is coupled to the first transceiver unit to sequentially receive the plurality of data segments. The merging unit merges the plurality of data segments into the effect command. The control unit receives the effect command, and controls the effect generation unit to generate an effect according to the effect command.

Wireless input apparatus

A control circuit for an input device including a micro-switch is provided. The control circuit includes an input circuit, a receiver circuit, a control unit, and a detecting unit. The input circuit includes a first contact and a second contact for electrically connecting to the micro-switch. The receiver circuit includes a third contact and a fourth contact for electrically connecting to the micro-switch. The control unit is electrically connected to the first contact and the third contact for providing an input signal via the first contact to the micro-switch and receiving a switching signal from the micro-switch via the third contact. The detecting unit detects a voltage of the second contact to generate a detecting signal. The control unit receives the detecting signal to determine a type of the micro-switch.
