Abstract
A sensing range selectable image sensor module includes a lens defining a first light-sensing area, which allows a relatively larger amount of light to pass, and a second light-sensing area, which allows a relatively smaller amount of light to pass, two sensors respectively arranged at one side relative to the lens corresponding to the first light-sensing area and the second light-sensing area and electrically coupled to a controller for receiving light from the first or second light-sensing area and generating a respective trigger signal selectively receivable by the controller.
