Embodiment
Technique means and effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked is reached for further setting forth the present invention, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and better embodiment, to the optical touch control system proposed according to the present invention and its embodiment of optical touch control method, method, step, structure, feature and effect, it is described in detail as follows.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the optical touch control system according to one embodiment of the invention. Please refer to Fig. 1, this optical touch control system 100 comprises touch-control surface 110, luminous element 120-1, luminous element 120-2, luminous element 120-3, Image sensor apparatus 130-1, Image sensor apparatus 130-2, means of illumination 140-1, means of illumination 140-2 and process circuit 150. The shape of touch-control surface 110 is that tetragon has four sides (respectively as Suo Shi label 110-1 ~ 110-4) sequentially connected. Above-mentioned three luminous elements are configured in side 110-1,110-2 and 110-3 respectively, and these luminous elements are in order to luminous in the first period. In this embodiment, these three luminous element 120-1,120-2 and 120-3 all can replace to lead optical element (lightguideelement), as long as each leads the light beam that optical element can receive external light source and send. 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, means of illumination 140-1 and 140-2 is configured near above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus respectively, or is configured in respectively in above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus. In this embodiment, means of illumination 140-1 and 140-2 is configured near above-mentioned two Image sensor apparatus respectively. These two means of illumination in order to luminous in the 2nd period, to irradiate touch-control surface 110. As for process circuit 150, it is electrically connected Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2, and surveys touch-control surface 110 in order to be felt by Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 in above-mentioned first period and obtain two images respectively. In addition, process circuit 150 also to survey touch-control surface 110 in order to be felt by Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 in above-mentioned 2nd period and obtain two other image respectively. Certainly, process circuit 150 also can be arranged in Image sensor apparatus 130-1, or is arranged in Image sensor apparatus 130-2.
Therefore, when processing circuit 150 and detected at least one indicator (as shown in label 106-1 and 160-2) vicinity touch-control surface 110, process circuit 150 just can cover a little according to the light in two images acquired by the first period, and the marginal information of the reflective spot in two images acquired by the 2nd period, judge the exact amount of indicator, and calculate the position of each indicator relative to touch-control surface 110 further.
For the allocation position of indicator (as shown in label 160-1 and the 160-2) quantity cited by Fig. 1 and these two indicators. In the first period, the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-2 senses can have two light and cover a little, and the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 senses then only can have a light and cover a little. And in the 2nd period, two images that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 senses respectively will have two reflective spots, but two reflective spots in the image that Image sensor apparatus 130-1 senses partly overlap, thus there is one of them image edge (being in the reflective spot that indicator 160-1 is formed in this embodiment, the image edge of the reflective spot that contiguous indicator 160-2 is formed) of one of them reflective spot in the region of these two reflective spot overlaps. Therefore, according to above situation, process circuit 150 just can judge to have the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicators, and can calculate the position of each indicator relative to touch-control surface 110 further.
Expansion, if when having two indicators vicinity touch-control surface 110, one of them of two images sensed in the first period as Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 has two light and covers a little, and another image only tool light cover a little, and Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 has two reflective spots separately at two images that the 2nd period sensed, but two reflective spots that one of them image has partly overlap, thus when there is a wherein image edge of one of them reflective spot in the region of these two reflective spot overlaps, process circuit 150 just can judge to have the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicators.
Certainly, if the allocation position of aforementioned two indicators is got when relatively opening or be very open (namely distant), so Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 just can have two light separately at two images that the first period sensed and covers a little, and Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 also can have two reflective spots separately at two images that the 2nd period sensed. Therefore, according to above situation, process circuit 150 just can directly judge to have the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of two indicators.
From the above, when performing multi-point touch, optical touch control system 100 of the present invention still can judge the exact amount of indicator, and calculates the position of each indicator relative to touch-control surface 110 further. In addition, optical touch control system 100 of the present invention also has an advantage, is exactly that it can avoid, when performing single-point touch, the erroneous judgement problem that existing optical touch control system can occur occurs. Hereinafter with Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, aforesaid erroneous judgement problem will be described further.
Fig. 2 A be single indicator do not press optical touch control system touch-control surface time the schematic diagram of image that senses, and the schematic diagram of the image sensed when Fig. 2 B is the touch-control surface of single indicator presses optical touch control system. In Fig. 2 A and 2B, label 202 is referred to that region is the bright background formed by the luminous element of optical touch control system, and label 204 is referred to that region is then that the light caused by indicator covers a little. Three discontinuous parts are become, respectively as shown in label 202-1 ~ 202-3 compared to the bright background 202 shown in bright background 202, Fig. 2 B shown in Fig. 2 A. This is because when indicator presses touch-control surface, touch-control surface can be subject to pressure and be out of shape (such as pushed and swell). Like this, bright background 202 also can some (as shown in label 202-2) up be raised (namely bright background 202 deforms). In addition, also having a kind of situation, exactly when user only holds wherein one end of touch-control surface, touch-control surface just can be out of shape because of gravity, causes bright background 202 also can and then be out of shape. Therefore, when existing optical touch control system only can go to judge that having how much light in bright background 202 covers point, the indicator quantity being positioned at touch-control surface will be mistaken for two.
Referring again to Fig. 1. The 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 indicator, and this indicator is not when pressing touch-control surface 110, so Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 all only can have a light at two images that the first period sensed and covers a little, and Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 all only can have a reflective spot at two images that the 2nd period sensed. Therefore, process circuit 150 and just can judge now only there is the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of an indicator according to such situation. When only having the contiguous touch-control surface 110 of single indicator, and during this indicator presses touch-control surface 110, so Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 may have at least two light separately at two images that the first period sensed and covers a little, but Image sensor apparatus 130-1 and 130-2 all only can have a reflective spot at two images that the 2nd period sensed. Therefore, process circuit 150 and still can judge now only there is an indicator contact touch-control surface 110 according to such situation.
It is worth mentioning that, above-mentioned process circuit 150 can be more be electrically connected above-mentioned three luminous elements and above-mentioned two means of illumination, to light these luminous elements in the first period and to close these means of illumination, and in the 2nd period, light these means of illumination and close these luminous elements. In addition, each means of illumination above-mentioned all can adopt infrared illumination device or laser launching device. So should be noted that, when each means of illumination above-mentioned all adopts infrared illumination device, each Image sensor apparatus so above-mentioned is preferably the infrared rays filtering apparatus adopting and infrared rays can only being allowed to pass through, and each Image sensor apparatus captures the image of touch-control surface 110 by its infrared rays filtering apparatus.
