Embodiment
In the middle of instructions and claim above, used some vocabulary to censure specific element.Person with usual knowledge in their respective areas should understand, and hardware manufacturer may be called same element with different nouns.This instructions and claim above are not used as distinguishing the mode of element with the difference of title, but the difference in function is used as the criterion of distinguishing with element.In the whole text, in the middle of instructions and claim above, be an open term mentioned " comprising ", therefore should be construed to " comprise but be not limited to ".
The tracking action schematic diagram of optical navigator disclosed in this invention will be described in detail below, it is noted that, following description explains as example using the optical mouse 100 shown in Fig. 1, but does not represent that content disclosed in this invention only can carry out by the optical mouse 100 shown in Fig. 1.Other has light source, image sensor and in order to control in the scope that the optical navigator of controller of light source and image sensor all should contain in the present invention.In disclosed embodiment of this invention, be also to form an image, and with the picture frame in image sensor 105 pick-up images by light source 101 illumined surface 102 in optical mouse 100.But controller 103 constantly makes light source 101 illumined surface 102 as can be not as shown in Figure 2, also can calculate the picture frame of acquisition disconnectedly, but can be according to first picture frame in picture frame and position second picture frame after the first picture frame calculate first estimated speed of optical mouse, and judge that according to the first estimated speed optical mouse 100 is at that velocity mode, to define a picture frame group (Group of Pictures, GOP).The second picture frame can continue after the first picture frame, or at least one picture frame of being separated by, and beneath embodiment all illustrates after the first picture frame to continue, but is not in order to limit the present invention.This picture frame group has comprised multiple picture frames with this second picture frame.In addition, controller 103 is with the wherein one at least of speed-mode control following parameters of judgement: to one of the picture frame illumination after this second picture frame, illumination frequencies, image sensor 105 do not capture of picture frame after this second picture frame and do not capture frequency, controller 103 and calculate a search area of the picture frame after calculated rate and second picture frame of the picture frame that captured by this image sensor after these second picture frames to light source 101.
In the following embodiments, optical mouse can judge to be position at that at a high speed, in middling speed and low-speed mode according to the first estimated speed.Refer to Fig. 3, it has illustrated the tracking action schematic diagram of optical navigator disclosed in this invention under fast mode.In Fig. 3, controller 103 can calculate according to picture frame 0 and 1 (aforesaid the first picture frame and the second picture frame) first estimated speed of optical mouse 100, wherein last picture frame in a upper picture frame group of picture frame 0.And to judge optical mouse 100 according to the first estimated speed should be to belong to fast mode, and determine picture frame group's length (comprise in how many picture frames, this example is 16 picture frame 1-16), the frequency of pick-up image (also having represented the frequency of not throwing light on) not according to this.In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, picture frame group's size is configured to 16 picture frames, and 16 picture frames in picture frame group can suppose that its speed is to calculate according to picture frame 0 and 1 the speed of going out.Therefore part picture frame can not captured and be calculated, and for example picture frame 2,5-7,10-15, to reduce illumination and to calculate required electric energy.
But, when processing same picture frame group's picture frame, can follow and according to picture frame 0 and 1, calculate the trend (this is under that velocity mode) at the beginning and process whole picture frame group, but also can calculate and new trend more for part picture frame.In Fig. 3 to Fig. 4, between picture frame, with the curve of arrow, represented and calculated action.For example between picture frame 3 and 4, with the curve of arrow, just represented that picture frame 3 and 4 is used to calculate.Under the fast mode of Fig. 3, speed is fast but acceleration is little, therefore to capture continuous two picture frames, calculates (but not limiting).For instance, calculate picture frame 3 and 4, and calculate picture frame 8 and 9.And because acceleration is little, therefore do not need that the picture frame in picture frame group is calculated to too many time, carry out correction trend, therefore in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, only calculated the picture frame 3 and 4 in picture frame group, and picture frame 8 and 9.Please be careful the speed and the acceleration that according to the picture frame in picture frame group, calculate also can be in order to change velocity mode, and for example fast mode from fast mode becomes will be described down below in addition.And handling after picture frames all in picture frame group, controller 103 originally last picture frame 16 in picture frame calculates after the second estimated speed with next picture frame 17, first picture frame using picture frame 17 as next picture frame group, continues aforesaid action.
If judge optical mouse 100 in middle fast mode according to picture frame 0 and 1, its embodiment that follows the trail of action and Fig. 3 can be different.Fig. 4 has illustrated the tracking action schematic diagram of optical navigator disclosed in this invention under middle fast mode.Under middle fast mode, velocity amplitude is less, must not capture continuous picture frame, therefore the discontinuous picture frame 4,6 and 8 of the embodiment fechtable in Fig. 4.But because acceleration may be larger, the picture frame that must calculate more continually in picture frame group guarantees that the trend calculating according to picture frame 0 and 1 is correct.Therefore in the embodiment of Fig. 4, picture frame 1,4,6,8 and 9 all guarantees in order to the speed of calculating between it accuracy of predicting.
If judge optical mouse 100 according to picture frame 0 and 1, be in low-speed mode, its embodiment that follows the trail of action and Fig. 3, Fig. 4 also can be different.Fig. 5 has illustrated the tracking action schematic diagram of optical navigator disclosed in this invention under low-speed mode.Under this pattern, optical mouse 100 is obviously motion not, and the frequency of illumination and pick-up image can drop to minimum, therefore in the embodiment of Fig. 5 except initial picture frame 1, only captured picture frame 8, to reduce the power consumption of illumination.But, in this situation, for fear of idle period, slip up, can reduce picture frame group's quantity, therefore the quantity of the picture frame group in Fig. 5 embodiment is configured to 8, rather than is configured to 16 as Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
Except reducing the frequency of acquisition picture frame and calculating, the present invention has more proposed to change according to friction speed pattern the concept of search area, and so-called search area refers to the pixel coverage size that a picture frame is contained.The picture frame that search area is large can be easier to find out the trend that image changes, but needs larger calculated amount.On the contrary, the picture frame that search area is little is not easy to find out the trend that image changes, but required calculated amount is less.In the embodiments of figure 3, because picture frame 0 and 1 is the use of finding out trend and decision speed, therefore use larger search area 9x9 (being that picture frame length and width are all 9 pixels).And after having determined speed and trend, can be considered that picture frame changes more stable, therefore can dwindle search area, therefore picture frame 3 and 4 is used less search area 5x5.And a period of time does not capture after picture frame, possible trend can change to some extent, therefore sets picture frame 8 and 9 for 7x7.
And in the embodiment of Fig. 4, the larger search area 9x9 of picture frame 0 use the same as 1, but because of under fast mode trend change fiercer, therefore picture frame 4 does not have to use less search area 5x5, but use the search area 7x7 taking second place, and follow-up picture frame 6,8,9 is because trend tends towards stability and used less search area 5x5.
And in the embodiment of Fig. 5, because change quite littlely, the ratio that therefore captures picture frame as is as previously mentioned lower, but also because like this, picture frame 0,1 and 8,9 all use maximum search area 9x9, when guaranteeing to capture picture frame at every turn and calculating according to this, can calculate very soon picture frame group's trend.Aforesaid search area setting only, in order to for example, is known this skill person when setting arbitrarily search area according to aforesaid teaching, and it is de-scope of the present invention also.
As previously mentioned, the present invention is not limited only to calculate after estimated speed and trend by first two picture frames, just follow this trend to process remaining picture frame in picture frame group always, it can calculate after another estimated speed according to other picture frame in picture frame group, upgrade estimated speed, and calculate after acceleration with previous estimated speed, judge whether to change trend, or the new velocity mode of no employing.And according to the frequency of judged result change picture frame group's picture frame number and acquisition picture frame.Take Fig. 3 as example, it can calculate after another estimated speed according to picture frame 3 and 4, upgrade picture frame group's estimated speed, and calculate acceleration according to calculating picture frame 3 and 4 estimated speed obtaining and the estimated speed that calculating picture frame 0 and 1 obtains, and the estimated speed and the acceleration that according to calculating picture frame 3 and 4, obtain judge whether to change trend.For instance, if judge optical mouse according to new estimated speed and acceleration, should adopt low-speed mode, picture frame group's picture frame number be become to the low-speed mode shown in Fig. 5 with image capture frequency setting.The estimated speed that please be careful between picture frame can directly be calculated to try to achieve, and also can indirect calculation try to achieve.Take Fig. 3 as example, wish is calculated the speed between picture frame 4 and picture frame 1, can directly with the displacement of picture frame 4 and picture frame 1, calculate, but also can calculate with the displacement between picture frame 4 and 0.
Also therefore, another aspect disclosed in this invention is not set picture frame group, only by estimated speed and acceleration, constantly upgrades the residing trend of optical mouse, and sets according to this not illumination frequencies, do not capture frequency, calculated rate and search area size.
Fig. 6 has illustrated the tracking action flow chart of optical navigator disclosed in this invention, and it has comprised the following step 601-623, and each step is to explain as an example of the embodiment of Fig. 3 example in the following description, but also can corresponding diagram 4 and the embodiment of Fig. 5.

Step 609
Judge whether to want pick-up image.If arrive step 613, arrive step 611 if not.Step 609 is that the velocity mode determining according to step 607 determines whether capturing picture frame, for instance, can capture picture frame 3, but in Fig. 4, can not capture picture frame 3 in Fig. 3.
Step 611
According to Trend Prediction speed now.The speed of estimating as picture frame group according to up-to-date estimated speed.In Fig. 3, if calculate after estimated speed according to picture frame 0 and 1, never capture picture frame and calculate new speed and do not change pattern, the estimated speed that can always calculate using picture frame 0 and 1 is as picture frame group's the speed of estimating, if but have the estimated speed (for example picture frame 3 and 4) that makes new advances of calculating, can new estimated speed be used as picture frame group's the speed of estimating.
Step 613
Acquisition picture frame.
Step 615
Judge whether to calculate estimated speed.The picture frame 3 of for example Fig. 3, its after being captured only can and follow-up picture frame 4 computing velocitys, but not can with picture frame 2 computing velocitys.Arrive if not step 611, if arrive step 617.
Step 617
Calculate estimated speed, for example, in Fig. 3, with the picture frame 3 and 4 in picture frame group, calculate again estimated speed.
