In Fig. 8, some A is expressed as the setting position of the first image sensor, and some B is expressed as the setting position of the second image sensor.As shown in Figure 8, when object 502 be positioned at touch area 590, the first image sensor 230 just can sense along sensing route 902 object 502, the second image sensor 240 energy sense object 502 along sensing route 904.Therefore, as long as the image that processor 260 can sense according to the first image sensor 230 and the second image sensor 240 is respectively obtained respectively the equation of line of sensing route 902,904, just can further calculate the intersection point of these two sensing routes, and then obtain the positional information of object 502.The positional information here, can utilize the coordinate of object 502 to represent.
To further illustrate image that how processor 260 to sense according to these two image sensor and obtain the equation of line of above-mentioned two sensing routes below.
Fig. 9 is that processor 260 receives the first image sensor and the image data of the second image sensor and the schematic diagram of subsequent treatment.In Fig. 9, symbol 1010 is expressed as the image that the first image sensor senses, symbol 1012 indicated object 502 reflects infrared light and form the higher clear zone of brightness (bright zone) on image 1010, symbol 1014 and 1016 represents respectively left hand edge and the right hand edge in clear zone 1012, and symbol 1018 is expressed as center (center), center of gravity (gravity) or the mean value (mean or average) of clear zone 1012 (being object image). Symbol 1014,1016 and 1018 is to be the characteristic about object 502 in image 1010.
Similarly, symbol 1020 is expressed as the image that the second image sensor senses, symbol 1022 indicated object 502 reflects infrared light and form the higher clear zone of brightness on image 1020, symbol 1024 and 1026 represents respectively left hand edge and the right hand edge in clear zone 1022, and symbol 1028 is expressed as center, center of gravity or the mean value of clear zone 1022 (being object image). Symbol 1024,1026 and 1028 is to be the characteristic about object 502 in image 1020.In addition, other characteristics of object 502, the parameters such as the such as area of object image, length breadth ratio, border, color, brightness, also can utilize processor 260 to process or utilize the first image sensor and the second image sensor to carry out pre-process.And the present embodiment is to utilize processor 260 to try to achieve these characteristics.
Figure 10 is object's position and the corresponding angle figure in the image that senses of the first image sensor.Hold above-mentionedly, processor 260, after receiving image 1010, can calculate center, center of gravity or the mean value in clear zone 1012, and this is the position of object 502 in image 1010.Please refer to Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Figure 10, for trying to achieve the angle α 1 of dotted line 582 and sensing route 902, image 1010 on average can be divided into some equal portions, for example 90 equal portions.Each equal portions represents that angle 1 spends, and spends so image 1010 right margins are angle 0, spends and left margin is angle 90.When center, center of gravity or the mean value of object drop on image 1010 when interior, can be corresponding go out the angle [alpha] 1 of this position representative.For instance, 1018A represents that angle [alpha] 1 is 45 degree, and 1018B represents that angle [alpha] 1 is 30 degree, and 1018C represents that angle [alpha] 1 is 75 degree.If during without the corresponding angle value of integer just, available interpolation calculation it.And same procedure also can be tried to achieve angle beta 1.
Please refer to Fig. 8, utilize known A point coordinates value and angle [alpha] 1, the oblique formula of utilisation point (point-slope form) is tried to achieve the equation of line of sensing route 902; In like manner, also can utilize B point coordinates value and angle beta 1 to try to achieve the equation of line of sensing route 904.Therefore, processor 260 just can calculate the intersection point of these two sensing routes 902,904, and then tries to achieve the coordinate of object 502.This object coordinate computing method are exactly so-called two line method of intersection.In addition, portable electronic input media 200 also can adopt additive method, and for example trigonometric function method calculates the coordinate of object 502, because the method is used in existing optical touch control system widely, just repeats no more at this.In addition, utilize above-mentioned teaching, this area has knows that the knowledgeable is when knowing that this portable electronic input media 200 also can be used in multi-point touch (multi touch) conventionally.
In addition, in the visual field of the first image sensor or the second image sensor except object to be measured 502, also may there are other objects at a distance in the visual field, and these objects also can reflected infrareies and interfere with the operation of portable electronic input media 200, therefore can utilize the brightness of the light that object reflects to screen.(but not as limit) for instance, the predeterminable brightness threshold value of processor 260 or a brightness range, and the brightness value of each pixel (pixel) in the image that the first image sensor and the second image sensor are captured detects screening.If the brightness value of a pixel exceedes default brightness threshold value or drops in default brightness range, the brightness value of this pixel meets preset standard.Mode according to this, sequentially screens the brightness value of each pixel in image, can filtering object 502 to be measured other objects in addition.
Utilize above-mentioned explanation, the scope of known aforementioned touch area 590 can reach infinity in theory.But the size of touch area 590 still can utilize the mode of software to limit.Referring again to Fig. 8, in touch area 590, the length on the limit being formed by dotted line 582 is known, and the length on two limits that formed by dotted line 584 and 586 is all endless in theory.Be predetermined length for making the length on two limits that formed by dotted line 584 and 586, processor 260 can define different touch-control scopes according to different application occasion.For instance, when portable electronic input media is used as a virtual mouse, can be defined according to the use habit scope of user's application entity mouse in the stool and urine of the touch area 590 in the first image sensing module 230 and the second image sensing module 240 fronts so, for example, be the touch-control scope that is defined as 15cm × 15cm (being dotted line 582 length × dotted line 584 length) size.Or, processor 260 can utilize the size of object image and the relation of distance immediately to define the predetermined length of dotted line 584 and 586, also can utilize the catoptrical brightness of object image to define this predetermined length, or immediately define the predetermined length of dotted line 584 and 586 in conjunction with these two kinds of modes, and will in the mode of definition, build in the middle of the software or firmware that processor 260 adopts.Thus, touch area 590 just can present a quadrilateral touch-control scope with predetermined area size.
Hold above-mentionedly, the in the situation that of having predetermined area size in touch area 590, processor 260 can first calculate the coordinate of object 502, and then judges whether object 502 is positioned at touch area 590.In the time that object 502 is positioned at touch area 590, processor 260 just can pass through the coordinate of communication interface 560 object outputs 502.Certainly, processor 260 can be also the coordinate that first calculates object 502, and the electronic installation coordinate of object 502 being exported to by communication interface 220, to allow this electronic installation judge voluntarily whether object 502 is positioned at touch area 590, and then determine whether be used.
Please refer to Figure 11, this embodiment can be mainly the restriction that utilizes hardware at explanation portable electronic input media 200, makes the visual field of the first image sensor 232 and the second image sense side device 242 to change into limited distance by infinity.The positional information of the object of the embodiment that this embodiment mainly can be used for calculating earlier figures 5.As shown in the figure, Figure 11 illustrates another set-up mode of the internals of image sensing module 230.As shown in figure 11, the image capture face 232A of the first image sensor 232 and the bottom surface 2301A of load bearing seat present predetermined angle theta 3, and this predetermined angle theta 3 is to be less than 90 degree.In addition, infrared light filtering apparatus 234, optical mirror slip group 236, infrared light emission device 238 (this figure does not illustrate) also arrange along with this predetermined angle theta 3 with optical mirror slip 239 (this figure does not illustrate).Wherein, infrared light emission device 238 must make the direct of travel of infrared light can be roughly parallel to real work table plane 802 with the set-up mode of optical mirror slip 239.Because this predetermined angle theta 3 is for being less than 90 degree, therefore the visual field of the first image sensor 232 is limited distance.That is to say, the depth of field of the image that the first image sensor 232 senses is limited distance.
Similarly, the second image sensor 242, infrared light filtering apparatus 244, optical mirror slip group 246, infrared light emission device 248 and the optical mirror slip 540 in the second image sensing module 240 also arranges in the mode shown in Figure 12.
Referring again to Fig. 8, because the visual field of the first image sensor 232 and the second image sensor 242 is to change into limited distance by infinity, therefore known in touch area 590, the length on two limits that formed by dotted line 584 and 586 is that the visual field farthest that can sense according to the first image sensor 232 and 242 of the second image sensor defines.And the visual field farthest that image sensor can sense can be calculated with reference to the mode shown in Figure 12.In Figure 12, D is expressed as the visual field farthest (being the length of dotted line 584 or 586) that the first image sensor 232 can sense, and H is expressed as the height of the first image sensor 232, and θ 2 is expressed as angle.Relation between D, H, θ 2 is represented by the formula D=H/tan in figure (θ 2), and θ 3 (seeing Figure 11) adds that θ 2 spends for angle 90.For instance, H is 5mm, and θ 2 spends for angle 1.91, and D is H/tan (θ 2) through this formula calculating, is about 150mm.
In the foregoing embodiments, the calculating of object location information all utilizes the processor in supporting part to reach.In another embodiment, also can utilize the processor in portable communications electronic installation 100 to carry out computing.Also the first image sensing module and the second image sensing module carry out pre-process by image data and such as obtain, after characteristic parameters such as () area of object image, length breadth ratio, border, color, brightness of image, pass to again the processor in portable communications electronic installation 100, so that the processor in portable communications electronic installation 100 calculates the positional information of object 502 according to the characteristic of these image datas or image.
