Abstract
An identifying system includes a master device having a lighting member for emitting light and an optical sensor for sensing light, and a slave device having a light guiding member with a light entering portion and a light sensing portion. The light entering portion receives the light from the lighting member, and the light sensing portion is located in a working range of the optical sensor. When the slave device is connected to the master device, the light of the lighting member enters the light guiding member via the light entering portion, and is guided to the light sensing portion.
Claims6
An identifying system comprising:
- a master device having a lighting member for emitting light and an optical sensor, wherein the optical sensor has a working range for sensing light;
- and
- a slave device having a light guiding member with a light entering portion and a light sensing portion, wherein the light entering portion receives the light from the lighting member;
- when the slave device is connected to the master device, the light sensing portion is located within the working range of the optical sensor, and light emitted from the lighting member enters the light guiding member via the light entering portion, and is guided to the light sensing portion;
- wherein the optical sensor generates an electrical signal upon sensing light for identifying whether a device is in a correct connection.
