In addition, above-mentioned optical touch control apparatus 200 more can comprise a substrate (not shown), and light guide module 210 can be arranged on the substrate with light source module 220.
Hereinafter specific descriptions are applicable to the localization method of the optical touch control apparatus of above-mentioned optical touch control apparatus 200.
The localization method that is applicable to the optical touch control apparatus of above-mentioned optical touch control apparatus 200 may further comprise the steps:
First light-emitting component 222 and second light-emitting component 224 of control optical touch control apparatus 200 are alternately luminous.Open and second light-emitting component 224 when closing when first light-emitting component 222, the image detecting module is detectd 230 and is measured one first optical information.Close and second light-emitting component 224 when opening when first light-emitting component 222, image detecting module 230 detects one second optical information; And
First optical information that detects according to image detecting module 230 and second optical information are judged the position of the shade that is positioned at sensing region 219.
Particularly, see also shown in Figure 8, when first light-emitting component 222 is opened and second light-emitting component 224 when closing, the 4th light-guide device 218 provides mirror face function, will form a virtual image C1 so be positioned at the shade C of sensing region 219, and image detecting module 230 can detect first optical information (as dim spot C2, C3) about shade C and virtual image C1.So, can be calculated apart from d3, d4, and cooperate other known parameters can calculate the position (coordinate) of shade C.The parameter that above-mentioned other are known comprises that sensing area 219 equals bee-line of virtual image C1 to the four light-guide devices 218 etc. in length, the sensing area 219 of X-axis in the width of Y-axis, the bee-line of shade C to the four light-guide devices 218.Be common knowledge in the affiliated technical field relevant for detailed coordinate Calculation method, will do not describe in detail at this.
In addition, see also shown in Figure 9, when first light-emitting component 222 is closed and second light-emitting component 224 when opening, the 3rd light-guide device 216 provides mirror face function, will form a virtual image C4 so be positioned at the shade C of sensing region 219, and the image detecting module is detectd 230 second optical informations (as dim spot C5, C6) that can detect about shade C and virtual image C4.So, can be calculated apart from d5, d6, and cooperate other known parameters can calculate the position (coordinate) of shade C.
Then, first optical information that detects according to image detecting module 230 and second optical information position that can judge the shade C that is positioned at sensing region 219.Generally speaking, can be calculated the tram (coordinate) of shade C respectively by first optical information and second optical information.
Yet, as previously mentioned, when optical touch control apparatus only has a mirror assembly, can have the blind area.In the optical touch control apparatus 200 of present embodiment, open and second light-emitting component 224 when closing when first light-emitting component 222, if the shade of sensing region 219 just in time is positioned at the blind area, possibly can't obtain the effectively first available optical information.But, when first light-emitting component 222 is closed and second light-emitting component 224 when opening, the shade of sensing region 219 will can not be positioned at the blind area, thereby can obtain the effectively second available optical information, therefore can be calculated the tram (coordinate) of the shade in the sensing region 219 by second optical information.Vice versa.In other words, the blind area that is different from the optical touch control apparatus 200 under Fig. 9 state in the blind area of the optical touch control apparatus 200 under Fig. 8 state, when first optical information and second optical information one of them when invalid, can calculate the tram of shade by another optical information.Therefore, the optical touch control apparatus 200 of present embodiment and localization method thereof can effectively solve the problem of blind area.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the optical touch control apparatus 200 of present embodiment and localization method thereof are conducive to be applied in two point touch-control field or multi-point touch field.To be that example describes with the two point touch-control hereinafter.
