Embodiment
For further setting forth the present invention, reach technological means and the effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment, optical touch control system and its embodiment of optical touch control method, method, step, structure, feature and effect to proposing according to the present invention, be described in detail as follows.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram according to the optical touch control system of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, this optical touch control system 100 comprises touch-control surface 110, light-emitting component 120-1, light-emitting component 120-2, light-emitting component 120-3, Image sensor apparatus 130-1, Image sensor apparatus 130-2, lighting device 140-1, lighting device 140-2 and treatment circuit 150.Being shaped as quadrilateral of touch-control surface 110 and there are sequentially four sides (respectively as shown in label 110-1 ~ 110-4) that connect.Above-mentioned three light-emitting components are configured in respectively side 110-1,110-2 and 110-3, and these light-emitting components are in order to luminous in the first period.In this embodiment, these three light-emitting component 120-1,120-2 and 120-3 all can replace with light-guide device (light guide element), as long as each light-guide device can receive the light beam that external light source sends.Image sensor apparatus 130-1 is configured in side 110-4 and 110-1 intersection, and Image sensor apparatus 130-2 is configured in side 110-4 and 110-3 intersection.
In addition, lighting device 140-1 and 140-2 are configured in respectively near above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus, or are configured in respectively in above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus.In this embodiment, lighting device 140-1 and 140-2 are configured in respectively near above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus.These two lighting devices are in order to luminous in the second period, to irradiate touch-control surface 110.As for treatment circuit 150, it is electrically connected Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2, and in order to obtain respectively two images by Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensing touch-control surface 110 in above-mentioned the first period.In addition, treatment circuit 150 also in order in above-mentioned the second period by Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensing touch-control surface 110 and obtain respectively two other image.Certainly, treatment circuit 150 also can be arranged in Image sensor apparatus 130-1, or is arranged in Image sensor apparatus 130-2.
Therefore, when treatment circuit 150 has detected the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of at least one indicant (as shown in label 106-1 and 160-2), treatment circuit 150 just can be according to the light grazing point in obtained two images of the first period, and the marginal information of the reflective spot in obtained two images of the second period, judge the true quantity of indicant, and further calculate each indicant with respect to the position of touch-control surface 110.
Indicant (as shown in label 160-1 and the 160-2) quantity that the Fig. 1 of take is cited and the allocation position of these two indicants are example.In the first period, the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-2 senses can have two light grazing points, and the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 senses only can have a light grazing point.And in the second period, each will have two reflective spots two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sense, but two reflective spots in the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 senses partly overlap, thereby in these two overlapping regions of reflective spot, there is one of them image edge (being in the formed reflective spot of indicant 160-1 at this embodiment, the image edge of the formed reflective spot of contiguous indicant 160-2) of one of them reflective spot.Therefore,, according to above situation, treatment circuit 150 just can have been judged the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicants, and can further calculate each indicant with respect to the position of touch-control surface 110.
Expansion, if while having the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicants, one of them of two images that sense in the first period as Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 has two light grazing points, and another image light grazing point of tool only, and two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the second period have two reflective spots separately, but two reflective spots that one of them image has partly overlap, thereby while thering is a wherein image edge of one of them reflective spot in these two overlapping regions of reflective spot, treatment circuit 150 just can have been judged the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicants.
Certainly, if the allocation position of aforementioned two indicants is got while opening or being very open (distant), two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the first period so just can have two light grazing points separately, and two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the second period also can have two reflective spots separately.Therefore,, according to above situation, treatment circuit 150 just can directly have been judged the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicants.
From the above, in the situation that carrying out multi-point touch, optical touch control system 100 of the present invention still can be judged the true quantity of indicant, and further calculates each indicant with respect to the position of touch-control surface 110.In addition, optical touch control system 100 of the present invention also has an advantage, is exactly that it can be avoided when carrying out single-point touch, existing optical touch control system occurs and understand the erroneous judgement problem occurring.Below will further illustrate aforesaid erroneous judgement problem with Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B.
Fig. 2 A be single indicant do not press optical touch control system touch-control surface time the image that senses schematic diagram, and the schematic diagram of the image that Fig. 2 B senses while being the touch-control surface of single indicator presses optical touch control system.In Fig. 2 A and 2B, label 202 indication regions are the formed bright background of light-emitting component by optical touch control system, and label 204 indication regions are the light grazing points being caused by indicant.Compared to the bright background 202 shown in Fig. 2 A, the bright background 202 shown in Fig. 2 B becomes discontinuous three parts, respectively as shown in label 202-1 ~ 202-3.This is because when indicator presses touch-control surface, and touch-control surface can be under pressure and be out of shape (for example pushed and swell).Like this, bright background 202 also can some (as shown in label 202-2) up be raised (being that bright background 202 deforms).In addition, also have a kind of situation, when user only holds wherein one end of touch-control surface, touch-control surface just can be out of shape because of gravity exactly, causes bright background 202 also can and then be out of shape.Therefore,, the in the situation that of thering is how much light grazing point in existing optical touch control system only can go to judge bright background 202, the indicant quantity that is positioned at touch-control surface will be mistaken for to two.
Referring again to Fig. 1.Optical touch control system 100 of the present invention is just without this problem.When only having the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of single indicant, and when this indicant is not pressed touch-control surface 110, two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the first period so all only can have a light grazing point, and two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the second period all only can have a reflective spot.Therefore, treatment circuit 150 just can be judged and now only have the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of an indicant according to such situation.When only having the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of single indicant, and during this indicator presses touch-control surface 110, two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the first period so may have at least two light grazing points separately, but two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 sensed in the second period all only can have a reflective spot.Therefore, treatment circuit 150 still can be judged and now only have an indicant contact touch-control surface 110 according to such situation.
