Abstract:
A light sensing apparatus includes a sheet passage, a first sensing assembly and a first background sheet. The sheet passage has a scan window. The first sensing assembly disposed on a first side of the scan window outputs first scan light to the scan window. The first background sheet disposed on a second side of the scan window has a first reflective surface reflecting the first scan light, passing through the scan window, back to the first sensing assembly through the scan window. The first reflective surface of the first background sheet and the scan window are disposed in a non-parallel manner. Therefore, a light sensing method is also provided to achieve the effects of brightness calibration and boundary detection of the first sensing assembly.

Claim (Index 20):
A light sensing method applied to the light sensing apparatus according to  claim 8 , the light sensing method comprising steps of:\n transporting the data medium into the sheet passage; generating a mixed signal of the first scan signal and the first background signal according to steps of: (a) enabling the first sensing assembly to sense the second portion of the first scan light before the data medium reaches the scan window; (b) enabling the first sensing assembly to sense the first portion and the second portion of the first scan light when the data medium passes through the scan window; and (c) enabling the first sensing assembly to sense the first portion of the first scan light after the data medium leaves the scan window; and separating the first scan signal from the mixed signal according to a property of the first background signal.
